We use it a lot here.
>From what we have seen if you enter vmcp xxxxxx (xxx being a normal vm
command like;
vmcp q Vswitch det
vmcp q dasd
vmcp q names
If the command comes back with vmcp not found I do a modprobe vmcp
and try my command again and it works fine.
The only other issue we see is the buffer size is to small and it give
an error message and buffer size number.
The redo the command again adding a buffer size bigger than in the error
message; vmcp --buffer=17000 q dasd ...
Not sure on where the doc is but I'm sure someone else will

Subject: vmcpi command
Has anyone used the vmcp command? And reference on how to set it up on
our zLinux systems. We are using RHEL 4.5 & 5 on zVM 5.3 LPARs.
We have the man pages in place:
vmcp - send commands to the z/VM control program
but I get command not found when working with it.
Can anyone point me to a good reference on setting this tool up?
