Hi Arjen, I didn't see a response to your question about where VM messages are logged.
As a general rule, most sites direct all important system messages to the system operator (named OPERATOR unless you've changed it in your parms file). From your question, I'll assume you are not running the Programmable Operator Facility (PROP) or CA's VM:Operator, so there are no 'formatted logs' per se. OPERATOR should be spooling it's console, if not put the following in it's PROFILE EXEC: 'CP SPOOL CONSOLE START TO * CLASS T' To spool consoles to the OPERATOR reader in CLASS T (modify as you may like). Rerun the profile exec. Don't forget to close these console files periodically as they can get quite large. To close a console, execute CP SPOOL CONSOLE CLOSE on the OPERATOR userid (optionally provide TO where-you'd-like-it to close the file to a destination other than OPERATOR's reader, where you initially spooled it to). You can either PEEK at console files in the reader or receive the file to disk (giving it a name since these are 'unnamed' files) and XEDIT it. If you PEEK, don't forget to either permanently change the (dumb!) default of peeking at only the first 200 lines of a reader file by executing: DEFAULTS SET PEEK FROM 1 FOR * Or provide '(FOR *' on the PEEK command. Hint: Use the ALL Xedit command to restrict what you are seeing to records that match your interest, for example 'ALL /TCPIP/' to show records with the string 'TCPIP' in it, ignoring all others.

At our site we've got z/VM Linux guests which sometimes drops it's TCP IP connections. The TCPIP stack off the VM installation itself seems working well! Now I want to browse loggin information etc. to find a clue for this problem. I expect VM to create loggings (at least console) Has anyone an idea where and how to start browsing in VM logs? I am new to this part of VM We are using VM version 4.2 Kind Regards, Arjen email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************** Disclaimer The information contained in this message is intended only for the person or entity to whom it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privacy sensitive information.
