I did not see any error messages targeting that volume or a vvds issue. IIRC - VVDS is done with a DEFINE command so should be cataloged. However, if there are a dasd moves or renames (volumes clipped), that might be some of the issue. Go to Option 3.4 in ISPF and just list the contents of the volume. Also do a VTOC list with 3.4. Or use ISMF to review the information about the volume and VTOC, VVDS and VTOCIX sizes. See if the volume APBPC7 has a large enough VVDS and that the VVDS exists on the volume. If so, you may need to recatalog or recover the VVDS After recovery, a BCS might not contain entries for all the VVDSs on volumes where the BCS has data sets. In this case, you might want to recatalog the VVDS so that the BCS contains entries for all connected VVDSs. If you want to recreate the BCS entry for a VVDS, use the access method services DEFINE CLUSTER command with the RECATALOG option. Specify the name, volume of the VVDS, and NONINDEXED. The BCS entry is rebuilt using information in the VVDS and the command. A VTOC entry for the VVDS must also exist. Before recovering a VVDS, decide if the VVDS is systematically damaged, or if only certain entries in the VVDS are damaged. If you cannot open the VVDS, for example, when you try to print it or access data sets

Re: VVDS with no catalog pointers
As these are SMS managed volumes, a VVDS will be allocated with the first dataset allocated to that volume regardless of DSORG. See Defining a VVDS (catalog Volume Data Set) in z/OS V1R11.0 DFSMS Managing Catalogs. Also from the same section: A VVDS is defined with the name SYS1.VVDS.Vvolser, where volser is the volume serial number of the volume containing the VVDS. SYS1.VVDS.Vvolser does not have to be cataloged in the master catalog.

Mike, If you allow the system to allocate/create the VVDS dataset, that is correct, The OP did not say how they create volumes so I am not sure if they let the system allocate the file or if they allocate the file after INIT a pack.

Re: HSM Recall Failure
As Lizette points out this is a fairly large file, do you have any msgs. in Jeslog such as B-37? What is the value of Volcount? SETSYS VOLCOUNT(ANY) will allow expansion to a secondary volume. ANY specifies for DFSMShsm to pass the VOLCOUNT(ANY) parameter to DFSMSdss during the ARECOVER of data dumped by DFSMSdss (L0 data sets). This parameter affects the way SMS-managed data set allocations are performed by DFSMSdss for the L0 data sets dumped from primary volumes. Refer to z/OS DFSMSdss Storage Administration for more specific information about the restrictions and limitations of the DFSMSdss VOLCOUNT parameter. The result is the allocation of the target data sets on as many volumes as required, to a maximum of 59.

I want to see the logic here. BTW, these are sms-managed volumes. First look at the ADR477E message. There are actually 3 reasons why it could happen. An error was encountered processing a VVR. If there was an I/O error, message ADR231E precede this message. An error was encountered on a catalog request. Message ADR497E precede this message. There be insufficient storage for internal processing. Messages ADR008E, ADR018I, or ADR376E precede this message. Looking at your DFDSS output I did not see any of the targeted messages.

I did not see any error messages targeting that volume or a vvds issue. IIRC - VVDS is done with a DEFINE command so should be cataloged. However, if there are a dasd moves or renames (volumes clipped), that might be some of the issue. Go to Option 3.4 in ISPF and just list the

Re: VVDS with no catalog pointers
If the VVDS was created automatically by SMS when the first dataset was created on the volume, then it was catalogued in the same catalog as that dataset. Usually, the dataset is a user dataset and the VVDS ends up being catalogued in the corresponding user catalog. However, LISTCAT (which produced the messages you quoted) looks for catalog entries in normal search order (unless you direct otherwise) and for SYS1 this means master catalog only. SYS1 VSAM datasets can be catalogued in multiple catalogs so you could add the VVDS to the master catalog to eliminate the error messages. On the other had, the system is quite capable of finding any VVDS it needs without resorting to normal search order so there is no need. :: -Original Message- :: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On :: Behalf Of Buckton, T.

Contrast the above description of HiperDispatch for z10 BC machines with the below description of current-generation z114 machines, where IBM has added sensitivity to the underlying quad-code chip architecture of these machines to the HiperDispatch function. Reference IBM zEnterprise 114 Technical Guide http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247954.pdf page 90 in the topic HiperDispatch: z/OS dispatcher manages multiple queues, which are called affinity queues, with a target number of four processors per queue, which fits nicely into a single PU chip. These queues are used to assign work to as few logical processors as are needed for a given logical partition workload. So, even if the logical partition is defined with a large number of logical processors, HiperDispatch optimizes this number of processors nearest to the required capacity.

Re: Hiper Dispatching
Current thoughts from IBM ATS which can probably be considered canon on this http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP101229 My thoughts for what they are worth. You may not see a large amount of benefit now with your configuration on a z10 but it is probably the right direction to go so yes enable it after doing appropriate planning. It defaults to being enabled at release 1.13. If you get it enabled now without any problems then when you do go to hardware that would allow you to benefit as you go forward with confidence and get that out of the box on the new hardware. I enabled HiperDispatch day one on our z9 to z10 implementations (smallest machine for us was a -709) and never looked back still on when we went to z196. It has been a good thing. I would suggest to be reasonably current on service at a recommended recent quarterly RSU. Ask IBM through the formal support channels directly where you can get service recommendation specific to your environment before making changes. Be prepared to monitor and measure the results of that change. We recently consolidated even more LPARs onto our z196 and found the following HiperDispatch APAR's were important (at least to us). We initially had some difficulty with one workload breaching an SLA after consolidation. We engaged with the smart folks in IBM ATS right here in Gaithersburg and they steered us to these one of which we had already installed but the other two were added on top of RSU. OA36459 in particular seemed to be important for us to be able to get full capacity utilization out of the box. * OA35989 - On a large CEC with low utilization, except for a small test partition running with HD=YES, vertical low processors may not be unparked, even though there is sufficient demand on the small partition and there is a large amount of free capacity on the CEC - Routine which calculates free capacity suffered an overflow due to large amount of unused capacity * OA35860 - Running with HD=YES, vertical low processors may be unparked even though there is no unused capacity available on the CEC - WLM calculations of available capacity did not account for capacity used by *PHYSCAL partition * Impact is only when there is high Physical LPAR management time * OA36459 - Closed 12/1/2011 - Not calculating the capacity used by vertical mediums and vertical low processors correctly Best Regards, Sam Knutson, GEICO System z Team Leader mailto:sknut...@geico.com (office) 301.986.3574 (cell) 301.996.1318 Think big, act bold, start simple, grow fast... -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of gsg Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 1:03 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Hiper Dispatching We have a 2097-504(E12).

Re: What is the justification for not using Trusted Key Entry (TKE) workstation?

Justification: MONEY. No real need to use TKE. It has been my opinion for several years that entering the master keys is a hardware function and should be another (separate) role of the HMC. (E.g. User ALAN has role of Crypto Express Master Key administrator - Part 2 of 3.) Only inertia keeps things the way they are today.

Re: Thought: new DISP status function
I'm not clear on what you are doing here. Are you saying this is somehow a replacement for this? //REUSE EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //MYFILE DD DSN=MY.FILE,SPACE=(0,0),DISP=(MOD,DELETE) //MYPGM EXEC PGM=MYPGM //MYFILE DD DSN=MY.FILE,SPACE=(CYL,(100,10),RLSE),DISP=(NEW,CATLG) How would this look using your method?
