EMC DASD in GDPS
Hi, Does anyone using an older EMC DMX 1000-3000 DASD in GDPS environment? I've read from the EMC DMX product guide that it require Enginuity Code with at least 5568 or higher (we are now at 5671) and a hardware code called compatible peer to enable this to understand PPRC commands. The product guide also states that it will support GDPS, however our EMC vendor said otherwise and claimed that our DMX does not support GDPS and only EMC DMX-3 does. Because of the statement will in the product guide I am not too sure about it. Anyone using EMC DMX model in GPDS environment? I'm suspecting EMC just want to sell us new hardware.

High DASD disconnect time due to RANDOM READ
I have discovered we have been experiencing high disconnect time to most our LCUs/DASDs due to NORMAL/RANDOM read CACHE misses (only 50% hit ratio). I have read somewhere that NORMAL read normally is not recommended for CACHING and was suggested to be excluded. My question is have anyone here implemented this to exclude the NORMAL read thru SMS storage class? After the exclusion, does it really improve the IO performance? how to handle those files both have normal/sequential read? TIA.

GDPS Questions
While waiting for the STP, we have decided/proceeded to implement and setup GDPS on a single site (BRS config) using two LPARs acting as primary and secondary site and a controlling system for our testing and for familiarization purpose. GDPS, SA and netview have been setup and working properly. Right now, our STP and most of the hardware have arrived and we will be able to implement the multisite active-active solution. My question is what are the things we have to prepare and adjust? Isn't it just by moving the acting secondary site system and controlling system from the primary site to secondary site DASD volumes, we should be able to re-IPL the secondary system just like before? Any user experience switching from single site to multisite? TIA.

Re: JES2/SDSF APAR OA24615 Fixtest PK69442
Hi Jimwe had similar issues when going to z/OS 1.9, looked like OA24615 at first, but ended up not being the case. IBM found that we had a lot of sysout on the output queue with bits STST1CTK and STST1APC turned on, which meant that SDSF had to get verbose data from JES2 for each item, slowing things down. We ended up putting on the fix for PK52910, modifying the config of an ISV product to stop it creating sysout with STST1CTK on and having a really good clean up of the spool. Everything is pretty much ok now, except that we have found that there are a couple of internal applications that put out sysout with STST1CTK on (don't know why) which we need to keep an eye on...as still causes a bit of grief if there ends up being a lot of their output on the queue.

I just need some confirmation/clarification on implementing PAV on an existing DASD subsystem with data or DASD volumes already allocated. Will implementing PAV affect the existing data on the DASD subsystem? If no, is it applicable to both IBM and EMC DASD subsystem? How big is the risk involved to implement this with production data?

Hi John, Thanks for the info and confirmation.

We have also already tested to compressed VSAM files that is open for update and confirmed that it has no problem. Jason Quoting John Kington [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Jason, We are planning to implement SMS data compression. I've read that we cannot implement compression on VSAM file that is open for update. Is this true? Aside from this, any other considerations? Compression will not take place until you recreate the vsam dataset. The danger with updating a compressed vsam dataset is that you will likely change the size of the data and an increase could cause you to incur a CI split. Otherwise you can compress a vsam dataset that is updated. We looked at using compression but determined that CPU costs exceeded what we saved in dasd costs. Your mileage may vary.

Re: How to change color for one particular message?
I don't think that NetView will change the colors of messages on the MVS console, only within NetView, either in NetView's log or on a operator whois logged on and is setup to receive those messages. That's what I suspected, but I guess the problem was that from my novice point of view, this part of Netview's functionality seemed a bit deceiving: It can do all this other stuff to MVS messages (edit, suppress, replace), why can't it color them? However, IIRC $HASP050 gets issues as a action WTO normally. I think our operators missed it the first time because it was white. It happened at noon when the full-time operators were at lunch, and the student employees (part timers) usually ignore everything except tape mounts and red messages. Instead of bringing the hammer down on them, I got caught up in the novelty, if we can make that message red, can we make others blue, yellow, whatever? I will try your suggestions, thanks. - Jason -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: SRM Flash 10526 - Workaround provided until APAR OA18452 closes
We are z/OS 1.7 The story we heard was that a couple of digits had been accidentally transposed in the SRM interval 'table' for z9s...hence the issue. But that it had brought to light that maybe the SRM intervals haven't been adjusted appropriately in recent times to take into account processor speeds on the new boxes, hence our understanding that this is of benefit on both z990's z9's, and at various levels of z/OS...but that it should be done with care due to possible impacts to WLM etc. At our site, we believe that a figure of 5000 is probably going to be appropriate. In Production, we initially set it to 2000, went to 3500 yesterday, and all going well, will go to 5000 next week. On our Test/Dev systems we initially set it to 5000, and went to 10,000 yesterday.

On one of our test systems after upgrading from z/OS 1.5 to z/OS 1.7, we encountered LE/370 abends if the offset between GMT Local exceeded +13hrs. IBM have raised APAR PK25397 to address this issue. So...on October 1st, if you're going to change your offset via the SET CLOCK command and you are running z/OS 1.7, be a bit more careful than usual to ensure that you don't exceed +13hrs, if you do, by even a second, you'll encounter LE/370 abends in your batch online. Extract from APAR: ERROR DESCRIPTION: If the SET CLOCK (or even SET DATE) command is used to set the local time such that the offset from GMT is outside the -12 to +13 hours range, the following message is issued:- CEE2503S The offset from UTC/GMT to local time was not available from the system. OR the following message:- CEEGMTO failed with message number 2503 However, the CLOCKxx parmlib member allows for 15 hours east or west of GMT. Since +/-15 hours is acceptable as an offset from GMT, LE time and date services must allow the same offsets under the z/OS 1.7 environment.
