IMS V10.1 Compatibility

2009-01-06 Thread Sivakumar, Manikandan

Hi Team and Happy New Year !

 

Our shop is upgrading to IMS V10.1 and I am working for Storage Program
Products. I would like to know is there any storage products have some
compatibility issues with IMS V10.1. I would thankful if you share your
views at the earliest. Thanks in advance.

Re: the Z/10 and timers.

If you remember correctly, the autoexec.bat file had TIME  DATE
commands in it so that DOS would not ask you for the date and time when
you booted the system. And this was a carry over from CP/M's lack of a
need for a stable TOD.


Correction1: You were asked about date and time when you didn't have 
autoexec.bat.
Correction2: The reason was *lack of timer*, not unstable one. First PCs 
had no timer at all. No battery. Like ZX Spectrum or Atari 800, or 
Amstrad CPC 6128, ...
Battery clock was add-on feature (a card) on PC XT and became standard 
in PC AT.

BTW: the clock in PC was (*is*) inaccurate by design.


Of course the above and any rant on non-IBM platform does not justify, 
why STP for time synchronisation is so expensive. It's only software, 
and same software (in functions performed) on other platforms is free.

I asked because not excluded is where the number comes from. I looked

Radoslaw,

When you did it from the other machine was it a different device?. I'm
just wondering (I'm not able to check right now) if the count is the
total number of reachable images across ALL machines in the IODF.

I did the following test:
I took free (unconnected) CHPID in 2064 machine (z/900, single CSS)
I defined new CU, type 3990, directly connected to the chpid above. No
other chpids, connections, no switches. CU number F000, unique.
I defined 100 devices type 3390 in the CU. Dev number F000-F063 (100
consecutive addresses).

Udoubtly only on CPC is connected to the CU.

Then went to panel CBDPPRF0 (Processor List) and typed U in the action
character area.

Got he following result:
_ F000,100 3390 12 1 F000
Number of IMages is 12 !!!
Number of OS configs is 1, which is correct.
12 is displayed for all devices except CFP (it's 13).
Number of LPARs defined is 7, including 2 CFs. Maximum available for
z/900 is 15.

I wonder if the IODF is corrupt or more specifically the CPC/Partition entries. Have you tried
creating a new IODF, and defining a new CPC/Part/Chp/CU/Device. Also you could use the HCD TRACE
command to see if it contains any defects.. something like TRACE ON,ID=IODF, make sure your HCD
trace dataset is big enough.

Cheers

Roy

Well...
I did another test:
Created new IODF from scratch.
Defined CPC 2064
Defined 3 LPARs OS and 1 LPAR CF
Defined 10 CNC channels (40 - 49), online on all OS LPARs
Defined CU #1000, type 3990, connected to CHP 40, 41
Defined 256 devices type 3390, dev num 1000-10FF

then typed U and see 10 IMages!

Of course I observed no error messages, WTOs, dumps, aliens or Martians.

The system is z/OS 1.7 rather up to date (understands CIB and z10).
I'm starting to think that IM column is a kind of joke...

Well, when talking about the devil, you will hear his chains clank (as
we say here):


Last weekend we had the following message on the HMC:
The system has detected a problem with the cooling unit and/or the
ambient conditions. The processor speed is running degraded.

Which was noted by the operator. When he called IBM, the IBM
representative just put down the phone from a call from Montpellier,
where the machine had dialled out to.

Knowing what to look for now, I found the following message in syslog:
IWM063I WLM POLICY WAS REFRESHED DUE TO A PROCESSOR SPEED CHANGE   

Otherwise, nobody had noted this message.

OSA-ICC Session Configuration

2009-01-06 Thread Laine, Rogers

I'm reviewing the requirements for installing the OSA-ICC on our z890.
 
When defining the terminal sessions there is a field called Client's IP.
The doc states it is the static IP address configured  in the
workstation platform for its network interface card.
 
Q1. Is this a required field?
 
Q2. If it is a required field must it be a static IP? Does it support
DHCP?
 
TIA,

I have found a web site that references Project SUE. But I think they
will charge for the articles they have:

http://hopl.murdoch.edu.au/showlanguage.prx?exp=573language=Sue

However, in looking at these, they are discussing a language for Project

It is not a required field.
If you specify it, it means that only a client with that IP can connect to the

Radoslaw, 

I see you've spent a lot of time on this.  Have you taken my advise and
opened a PMR?  Even if you don't have ASKQ support I think you could
legitimately open this as defect support since you can't explain the numbers
you are seeing or there isn't sufficient documentation.   

If / when you get an explanation, please update for the archives.

Dynamic Volume Expansion to EAV?

2009-01-06 Thread Edward Jaffe


Anyone gotten this to work?

I have z/OS 1.10 on all systems in a sysplex with all recommended 
maintenance applied. In addition, USEEAV(YES) is specified in IGDSMSxx 
on all systems. My DS8100 has the latest (driver 4) code loaded (which 
now even supports zHPF).


I select a volume in the Storage Manager and attempt to dynamically 
increase its capacity to the maximum supported size shown on the screen, 
i.e. 236 MOD 1 multiples. It produces the following failure:


Tue Jan 06 06:32:19 PST 2009 - Preparing to expand volumes -
Tue Jan 06 06:32:19 PST 2009 - Expanding volumes -
Tue Jan 06 06:32:20 PST 2009 - Expanding volumes(0 of 1 volumes expanded) -
Tue Jan 06 06:32:20 PST 2009 - Failed -
Tue Jan 06 06:32:20 PST 2009 - Exception -  CMUN02561E 0339() The 
requested capacity of the logical volume that you have specified is not 
supported by the host server operating system.


What am I missing?

No, it isn't. You can leave it undefined, then any workstation can

One of them is assigned specifically to WebSphere on z/OS. However, the

Survey says...

2009-01-06 Thread P S

I'm trying to judge the level of penetration of the (relatively) new
DLL technology. So without getting into theology or categorical
imperatives, I'd be grateful if y'all could answer this question:

If you were told that to use a feature of a vendor product on z/OS,
you need to put some code in a DLL, would your reaction be:

1) No problem.
2) I think I know how to do that.
3) I should know how to do that; guess I'd better learn.
4) I don't want to do that.
5) What's a DLL?
6) (Something else)

Thanks in advance!
