Basically, I/O on s/390 is done using the SSCH instruction and CCW strings. DIAG is a way to do I/O under z/VM which is more efficient, when running z/Linux under z/VM. DIAG is the "interface" to talk directly to the z/VM hypervisor. I know that I succeeded with SLES-10-RC3 installation and I did, indeed, tell it to do a "dasdfmt" on the installation. And then I went to bed for the night. My Athlon64 3800+ gets about 25 emulated MIPS under Hercules. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
