Re: Replace 3590 With 3592

I don't think you'll have any problem - as long as you're not expecting the 
3592 drive to read the 3590 tape.

We are considering replacing the 4 3590 drives in our ATL with 4 3592 drives. 
Given the increased tape capacity, we are concerned with the seek time of the 
3592s, i.e., will they noticeably delay recalls?  I'd appreciate comments from 
those with experience in this area. TIA.

Are all the parameters in your SYS1.IPLPARM member alligned to the proper

We had CATALOG in column 63 instead of 64 once.
No longer sure if it was the same wait state.

Carlos,

This error is occurring early in the NIP process. Richard's suggestion is 
certainly worth a shot.

 What module name is specified in the message text? Are you using exactly the 
same residence and IODF volumes as you were using in the z890?

If not (and Richard's suggestion doesn't help):
1) Did you change the IPL text on the residence volume in any way?
2) Has something changed in SYS1.NUCLEUS?
3) Even if you believe the answers to the above questions to be no, recopy 
SYS1.NUCLEUS and recreate the IPL text on the residence volume.

Path forward:
If Richard's suggestion and the aforementioned questions do not provide some 
hint, I suggest taking a stand-alone dump and inspecting the WSMA (NIP message 
area). If this is necessary, contact me offline and I can help you through it.

Alan

Hello

We have an z/os 1.8 running under a lpar in a z890. Now we have a chance to 
move it to a z10 BC machine, but during IPL we are getting iea304w wait 
80009064.

We already tried a lot of combinations of CSA, ECSA, SQA and ESQA values and we 
continue to getting waits during IPL. Since z/OS isn´t my native operating 
system (I come from z/vm and z/vse), I will be saying thanks a lot for hints 
how to solve this problem, so I can start z/os 1.8 update to support z10.

My question is this...after a LOCATE finds the dataset ..Is it correct

Normal practice would be to use a single dsname field. If you use multiple 
fields then you can initialize all of them at the same time; you don't need to 
wait until the LOCATE. You didn't provide the codee for FOUNDIT, so I have no 
idea whether you are initializng the volume list for SCRATCH, but even if you 
aren't that shouldn't cause an 0C1.
Which macro were you executing at the time of failure? If SCRATCH, what was in 
R0?

Did you leave out an IEC message? The register contents are consistent with 
trying to do I/O with a closed DCB. Look at the storage pointed to by R1.

Hi,

 How are you deleting the tapes? In the web console of the TS770 or in the ZOS?

I  have tried ejecting in ISMF a scratch tape and it has been erased in the 
TS770 succesfully, but I don't find a way to change the category in the TS7700, 
if you get it, please, let me know, thanks.

If I do a Search Logical Volume with a scratch volume, I find it has the  
insert category, so I think it's necessary to scratch the volumes first, and 
then you can eject the volume using  the ISMF panels (option 2.3), and then the 
volume is erased in the TS7700 (at least it worked for me)

Thanks to all who replied. Our dilemma is that we still supply our

We've got a new z9 and a 3490 drive and thought going to 3490Es was
right - most customers could read them. Not sure if they can all read
3590Es.  

admil.co.uk say they can't get them. Still awaiting reply from Media

Hope everyone has got enough in stock for all their future

You might consider upgrading to 3590s. They're denser, faster, dirt 
cheap to buy on the used market, and because they are newer technology,
the monthly maintenance costs should be lower than 3490 drives.

You'll get the error that DSN17 doesn't match the internal label on the
volume.
You can either restore the DSN17 field in TMS - or reinitialize the
volume.

Resurrecting this one - I have changed the DSN17 field to HEXZEROS and
run CTSSYNC against the volumes which does indeed clear the error status
but TMS appears to continue to reject the volumes when it has the
occasion to write to them again.
I have another open ticket with CA pending, just wondering if anyone has
had a breakthrough on this since it was last discussed in November?

Hi Everyone,
We are having a problem with CA-1 which CA believes is not a CA problem.


We are trying to upgrade from v11 to v11.5.  When we implement the v11.5
we have the following problems.  The first is a problem with multiple
files on a tape.  When it complete the 4th file, we get the following
error.  The exact JCL works file on our system once we back out the new
version of CA-1.

This appears to maybe be some type of option that allows it to stack
more than 4 files on a tape, but haven't been able to track it down.

We have verified this was not a user error.  For some reason it appears
that the new CA-1 was reading the old tape label even though it was a

scratch status)


Does anyone know if we missed some options somewhere that is causing
this?
Both these problems go away when we go back to the old version.

How could you respect anyone that worked for CA? I don't know (or
care) about his reasoning for going to work for the evil empire, that
is his prerogative. Sure there were some people way back when who got
bought out by CA and didn't have a choice. They have my sympathies but
to leave a company and essentially sell their name to the evil empire
(and not even announce it) tells me quite a bit about their themselves.

Poor Russell he managed to keep himself out of the dirt that CA has cast
far and wide, but he didn't have a choice in the matter. The company
that he worked for was bought up so he is trying to make the best of it
(and doing a decent job).

You have had your day and duty speaking up on his behalf.  I won't get

When the VTS ejects a volume as read-only, it means that the VTS has
determined that the tape volume needs to be replaced.  We were told that
the volume is empty, and VTS had placed it in read-only status until
there was no valid data on it.  

You need to get a new tape that will replace the one ejected, and insert
it in so the VTS can use it.

Subject: SDSF endless syslog


Hello all,

we are running z/OS 1.6. Perhaps unknown to us, we are now using the 
SDSF syslog from 05103 to today (05145). I am informed that in the 
past this was not the case, i.e. a new syslog was written to BETA at 
midnight and a fresh syslog was available on all systems.

The syslog is still being written at midnight, but no fresh syslog 
is being created e.g. 05145 - 05145.

We are a Sysplex shop using a shared MAS.

Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA

Definitely suggest searching the archives on this one.
Could get thousands of hits - depending on search argument.

Enjoy.

Has any one had the pleasure of converting CA-MIM to GRS? Have you found any
tools to work with or did you have to live through it? IBM will assist for
