Hi Scott, Possibly the easiest way to get it into a usable from would be to use my NETDATAX package available from http://www.vmworkshop.org/node/70. It would replace the VMUR receive, convert from NETDATA format and convert to ascii at the same time.

It works now. Have another question regarding VMUR. When I read the file in, its in NETDATA format. How do I convert it to ASCII?

I added it to /etc/zipl.conf and reran zipl. I rebooted but it was still on the black list. Have a look at the output of # cat /proc/cmdline and check the syntax closely. For example, there must be no spaces within the cio_ignore= value, there must be an exclamation mark to remove the device number rather than add it, the !0.0.000c has to appear after the all not before and I can imagine that the device number may have to be spelled out in the full canonical form of "zero dot zero dot four hex digits". Also check you edited the zipl.conf stanza for the kernel you then actually booted. Since the contents of /proc/cmdline show the information from the current boot, you'd be able to tell if it's the wrong stanza because it wouldn't have your edits in place. Send the output (along with the output of "cio_ignore -l" and "lscss" for good measure) if it's still not clear. --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie Mainframe Systems and Software Business, Europe IBM UK ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
