George and (Mike) Do not forget the even closer VM user group meetings like MVMUA here in Jersey City.
http://www2.marist.edu/~mvmua/2010oct.html as well other classes by VM Resources also held at the Vicom offices in ONE Penn thanx Bill Munson 201-418-7588 President - MVMUA http://www2.marist.edu/~mvmua/ VM Project Officer - SHARE http://www.linkedin.com/in/BillMunson From: Mike Walter <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 10/05/2010 03:41 PM Subject: Re: IPL VM/VM Issues Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> How could the L2 machine bring them up if it does not have access to the DASD that they require? Your 2nd level machine should have very few R/W DASD linked, attached, or dedicated. Usually just the res/spool/page and very select DASD that it needs for its own use (not shared R/W with L1). We install Program Products on DASD labeled VMPP## (where "VM" DASD is L1 production). The test system Program Product DASD is labeled VTPP##. The 2nd level system may have some R/O links/Dedicates of VMPP## DASD, but none of it is available R/W. Those R/O Program Product DASD permit easy copying of MDISKs to the L2 system right from the L2 system ("CP DEFINE MDISK" is terrific for that). The only DASD L2 has R/W is what it needs for its own use to IPL (not shared R/W with L1), and its own DASD where its own userid MDISKs are allocated. You might find it valuable to suggest to your management that you really should plan to attend SHARE in Anaheim this coming March.

"George Henke/NYLIC" <[email protected]> Sent by: "The IBM z/VM Operating System" <[email protected]> 10/05/2010 02:28 PM Please respond to "The IBM z/VM Operating System" <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject IPL VM/VM Issues L2 is a cloned L1 directory except for the volsers in the Directory and CF Parm files which have all been made unique, ie 540 becoming 54X. I plan to ipl as follows: system reset term conmode 3270 set mach esa I 125b clear loadparm 009 START COLD DRAIN To be safe, I suppose I should also add NOAUTO. L1 runs 5 z/OS machines and 3 Linuxes. They could be corrupted at L1 if I tried to bring them up in L2 at the same time without GRS, MIM, or some other serialization product. I doubt TCPIP will work at L2 without some reconfiguring. So I should define some GRAFs and dial them. Not sure if my L2 entry in the L1 Directory needs 54XRES, 54XPAG, 54XSPL, 54XW01, 54XW02 or whether I can just specify the IPL vplume, 54XRES, and CP finds the rest from the Parm disk.
