For some explanations Do HELP CPQUERY PROC and HELP CPQUERY CPUS You're querying apples and oranges or in this case the virtual cpus of the userid you're logged onto (q v cpus) and the real cpus of the machine running z/VM (q proc expand). And the pears belong to the zlinux guest that has a pair of virtual cpus.
'Alternate' is a real processor, "a nondedicated processor other than the master". the 2nd real processor is already active. there are 2 virtual cpus defined to the zlinux userid which probably isn't the userid on which you ran 'q v cpus' From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Tate Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 3:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Bringing CPU/Engine Online Im a Unix admin trying to speak z/VM here.. so please bear with me.. q v cpus 13:04:09 CPU 00 ID FF0ECDEE20948000 (BASE) IFL CPUAFF ON q proc expand 13:10:16 PROCESSOR 00 MASTER IFL 13:10:16 PROCESSOR 01 ALTERNATE IFL 13:10:16 PARTITION MODE LINUX-ONLY 1) What does "Alternate" indicate? and 2) How do i get that 2nd processor to be "active" if it is not already.. i.e. showing up under q v cpus and active under z/Linux? z/Linux shows two virtual CPUs under /sys/devices/system/cpu and /proc/cpuinfo displays: vendor_id : IBM/S390 # processors : 2 bogomips per cpu: 6868.00 features : esan3 zarch stfle msa ldisp eimm dfp processor 0: version = FF, identification = 0ECDEE, machine = 2094 processor 1: version = FF, identification = 0ECDEE, machine = 2094 Thanks in advance. ________________________________ This e-mail, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise legally protected.
