Cookbook: 1) Log on to the VM system and do a Q NAMES. The user FTPSERVE should appear if FTP is available on your system (it should be there by default, but check anyway). 2) Make sure the Linux system userid (we'll call it LINUX for this example) 's 191 disk has a WRITE password: (use DIRM FOR LINUX GET NOLOCK from a authorized id like MAINT to get a copy of the directory entry for LINUX. DIRMAINT will send the entry to the virtual RDR of the authorized id. 3) Note the spool id from the message (RDR FILE xxxx ...... -- you want xxxx) and do a PEEK xxxx ( FROM 1 FOR *. Look for the line MDISK 191 blah blah bla. There should be a MR, then 3 tokens (read write multi) Note the 2nd and 3rd tokens (write and multiwrite pw). If there are no passwords and there is no security manager like RACF present, then see the DIRM documentation on adding mdisk passwords and give the LINUX 191 a read, write and multi password 4) Shut down the Linux guest using your normal methods and log it off. If it's up, it has an exclusive write link to the mdisk you need to write to. (Consider later changing the MR to RR in the directory entry -- Linux startup doesn't need to modify the 191, and if it's RR, you can update it while the guest is running and pick up the changes at the next restart) 5) FTP from your Windows box to the VM system using FTP.exe on the Windows box. Provide the userid and logon password of the Linux guest. 6) Type CD LINUX.191 (you'll get a "link password needed message") 7) Type: ACCT writepsw (the write password from the MDISK 191 line in LINUX's directory entry). You should get "current directory now LINUX.191" message from FTP. Note that you may need to use SITE or QUOTE to get the Windows FTP client to send the ACCT command. 8) Type: PUT SWAPGEN.EXE SWAPGEN.EXEC This transfers the file. 9) QUIT to exit FTP. Now you can tn3270 to the VM system, log in as LINUX, and IPL CMS. ACCESS ( NOPROF when CMS pauses, and you can get at the PROFILE EXEC, etc. SWAPGEN EXEC should be on the machine's A disk at that point. Next release of SWAPGEN will have better docs (and help files...right, Adam/DaveJ?) -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
