Re: STK-SUN-Brocade switch--2032 IOdef
Do you use the Brocade ECFM software to configure the switch (level 9.6 is current level, I believe)? I am working with Brocade i10k's, but I think your switch should use ECFM as well. If you don't have current level, you should upgrade that first. You should still be able to get devices connected if the IODF has an error on just some of the devices. Seems like zoning is the problem.

Re: STK-SUN-Brocade switch--2032 IOdef
There is an issue with enabling the default zone in EFCM. For some reason, at least on the i10ks, the default zone box is grayed out, so you have to trick the GUI into enabling it. This is how: Sign on to EFCM, highlight the switch, and select the Configure\zoning tab. When the pop-up appears, select the Zoning Policies button. You can enable default zone from there. If it is grayed out, you must toggle the Safe Zoning Mode checkbox, then click OK. Go back into the Zoning Policies, uncheck the Safe Zoning Mode checkbox, and the Default Zone should then be accessible. Mark it enabled, and Safe Zoning disabled. Close the dialog box, and then activate the zoning configuration. You want to use the default zone if you can, that way, you don't have to rezone anything if a GBIC is replaced (since it will have a different WWPN, it will have to be added to the zone). Default zone says to put everything that is not explicitly coded into zone, into a zone called default. This allows any-to-any connection within the switch, which works, since you define the paths through the switch in the IOCDS.

Printing tilde and caret
Greetings Listers, We have a need to print the tilde and caret on some of our reports using an Infoprint 4000 series printer attached to the mainframe via PSF over IP. The reports contain 'xB0' (caret) and 'xA1' tilde, but 'xB0' prints as a degree sign and 'xA1' prints as a blank.The degree sign for 'xB0' seems to match the ISO-8 character set, not EBCDIC/codepage 037 character set. Is there a way to code a translation table for PSF printing, or is there something on the printer that needs to change? Perhaps I am going the wrong direction here, so any input would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Concurrent Upgrade Puzzlement.
From the PR/SM manual: LPs can be defined to have as many CPs as are present on the underlying MCM. Copyright IBM So Hal indeed has an anomaly (unless z/OS.e is more VM like than I thought.) He shows 3 CPs enabled from the service element. I will be interested to see if it will be fixed with an IPL, deactivate/activate of the LPAR, or other solution. I wonder if work is actually being dispatched on the fourth logical CP. Speaking of terminology changes over the years, LPs = Logical Partitions in the PR/SM manual, not Logical Processors.

So, if you have 4 GP's, no LPAR can have more than 4 CP's defined to it. (You can, however, have RSVD CP's defined, so that you can add more LP's, if you dynamically add more GP's, without a POR or an IPL) It's been awhile, but VM used to allow a guest more 'active' CP's than were physically installed.

Re: Concurrent Upgrade Puzzlement.
Is the model type that is returned from the D M=CPU command correct on that system?

Re: Concurrent Upgrade Puzzlement.
I can tell you that when you activate an on/off capacity upgrade on demand order, the processors that were status of N (not available) change to - (offline) in the display command, same is true when the capacity is removed. At least that is what I saw on a 2084 and 2094. My theory would be that it is just a virtualized engine to begin with and you have more logical CPs than physical on that LPAR now. Do you notice any dispatching delays or performance impacts? Interesting... Perhaps you can check the Service Element CPs status. Sign in as SYSPROG and right-click on the processor.

ASCB question
I have a REXX program that scans through the ASCBs to collect information about active STCs, JOBs, etc. It appears the address of a started task name is located in the storage pointed to by the ASCBJBNS field. If ASCBJBNS is zero, then I check to see if it is an initiated job by reading in ASCBJBNI field. I guess since the OMVS subtask (such as INETD) are run under BPX initiators, they are considered initiated jobs and the name of the task is in the ASCBJBNI field. The question is: Does anyone know a way to tell if an initiated job is an OMVS task or a batch job, programmatically? The ASCB doesn't seem to contain that information.

Re: Confused About Channel Path Reconfiguration from HMC
Hi Ed, the following works on a z/9EC: Double click CPC group from HMC, highlight the processor you want to work on, then go into single object operations mode. Once there go CPC group again, highlight the processor, and right click on the mouse and pick the channels list item. You should be able the select the PCHIDs/CHPIDs you want and use the Configure On/Off option under the CHPID Operations menu to toggle the CHPID/PCHID ON/OFF from there. Regards Steve -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edward Jaffe Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 1:03 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Confused About Channel Path Reconfiguration from HMC As a software developer, doing part time sysprog work, I will yield to the expertise on this forum to set me straight on system programming matters. Here's my latest puzzler: z/OS V1.8 System Commands contains the following in the discussion of the CONFIG CHP command: IBM Documentation Note that if you have systems running on a processor at the z990 level or higher, you can automatically reconfigure channel paths on and offline using the hardware management console (HMC) instead of issuing the CONFIG command. On a z990, you may have multiple logical channel subsystems, which means that if an ESCON card fails, you need to reconfigure 15 channels being used across 30 different partitions in each logical channel subsystem. Automatic CHPID reconfiguration lets you issue a reconfiguration request centrally from HMC, which in turn triggers the z/OS systems in each partition to issue the CONFIG command. Then only those partitions that cannot process the request or are not running on a z990 level processor or higher need to be individually reconfigured with the CONFIG command. /IBM Documentation This seems to imply that I can configure a CHP offline for the CEC (or maybe for a CSS?) at the HMC and all of the attached LPARs will automatically take action. Sounds great! The only problem is, I can't figure out how to do it on my new z9BC HMC. Of course, it's always possible that I'm just thoroughly confused about what's being described in the book. On the HMC, under Operational Customization, I have Configure Channel Path On/Off. When I drag the CEC to the icon, I get the following error: Object is not an acceptable type of object for the task I can drag CPC Images (or any group of Images) to the icon, and get a list of the LPARs in the group. The instructions in the dialog box say, This task can only be performed with a single target object. Indeed, only one LPAR may be selected at a time. So what am I missing? Where's the new functionality? How is a one-at-a-time, by LPAR, request from the HMC better than a one-at-a-time, by LPAR, CONFIG command? (How is it any better than RO *ALL,CF xxx across a sysplex?) Is there something I need to enable in my IODF, IOCDS, HMC, or SE to make the functionality worthwhile?

Re: Confused About Channel Path Reconfiguration from HMC
Ed, The z/OS 1.6 CONFIG command documentation states that as well. However, both the HMC 2.9.1 Operations and z/9EC SE Operations guides state that this does not happen. I would continue to use CF ONLINE/OFFLINE From HMC 2.9.1 Operations Guide You can use the Hardware Management Console workplace to configure channel paths on and off. However, operating systems will not be notified when you use the workplace to configure channel paths on or off. For example, if you configure off a channel path, the operating system running in any image that owns or shared the channel path is not notified, and the next operation from the operating system to the channel path causes an error. It is recommended you use operating system facilities rather than the Hardware Management Console workplace, whenever possible, to configure channel paths on and off. From the z/9 SE Operations Guide: You can use the support element workplace to configure channel paths on and off. However, operating systems will not be notified when you use the workplace to configure channel paths on or off. For example, if you configure off a channel path, the operating system running in any image that owns or shares the channel path is not notified, and the next operation from the operating system to the channel path will cause an error. It is recommended you use operating system facilities rather than the support element workplace, whenever possible, to configure channel paths on and off. Hope this clears things up.

Hi Sam, I don't think this would help. Usually, the travel and lodging expenses are much more than the conference costs and they require pre-approval as well. So, the earlier I put in my request, the more likely I am to get budgeted for the trip. Education budgets may or may not be dried up by mid-year. Regards, Steve SNIP This is just brainstorming not something that SHARE has officially contemplated as far as I know but what if companies could purchase SHARE credits/SHARE dollars at any time that could be spent within some time period (1, 2, 3? years) similar to IBM education credits.

Patrick, You say you do an ACTIVATE on a LOAD profile, which leads me to believe you are doing an Activate on the image with the Load during activate specified. You probably need to check the image profile. First double-click on the LPAR image from the CPC Images area. Make sure that the activation profile is the same as the one you want to use.

Re: Creating IOCDS via HMC
Mike, You should be able to do it through HCD. Selection option 2 from the main menu, the option 2 again to build the IOCDS. It should be able to access the local CEC's service element to create the IOCDS. Also, you can add the SNA address of the service element to the Processor definition (option 1 then option 3 from the HCD main menu.) You should be able to update any CEC's IOCDS in the shop if they are connected to the same HMC network (for lack of a better term). You should not have to bring down your LPARs to create an IOCDS!

Re: Creating IOCDS via HMC
I am saying I'm not quite sure why you would have to do a standalone IOCP. You can use HCD or a batch job under z/OS. What were you told was the problem of updating the IOCDS from z/OS under VM? What does IBM say about that? I'm not sure, but for future use, if you define an extra LPAR that is not activated, you can activate it (but don't load it) and you might be able to use standalone IOCP from that LPAR. Then deactivate it when you are done.
