Re: Changing LPAR Weights
I tried to get this manual Zseries API, but I could not find it. What the manual number.

gsg pisze: I thought the BPXBATCH utility was for Unix or something? Are you saying it will work with a os/2 HMC? GSG (nice name btw), Yes, BPXBATCH is the utility for Unix or something. I would strongly suggest to CHECK IT IN YOUR DOCUMENTATION before asking. Ed suggested several times that you should read the manual. I would suggest something different: don't touch it before you learn the basics. Asking the questions on the forum is not replacement of education. Ad meritum: BPXBATCH is a program which one can use in EXEC statement to run Unix command or program. Unix aka Unix System Services (USS) - part of z/OS.

Re: Changing LPAR Weights
I seem to recall that there are some licensing issues to the effect that customers are not permitted to modify the HMC software or hardware in any way. To do so would impair the CE's ability to service all of the HMC, SE, and the box itself. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of gsg Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 9:45 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Changing LPAR Weights Edward, Do we have to be running our HMC on Unix?

No. The zSeries API has been around for many years--long before the Linux-based HMC/SE. We first started using it on our z800 with an OS/2-based HMC/SE. We used it under OPS/MVS on a 9672, IIRC.

gsg wrote: I thought the BPXBATCH utility was for Unix or something? Yes. BPXBATCH allows you to run z/OS UNIX shell scripts or commands in batch. That capability has nothing whatsoever to do with the HMC. Are you saying it will work with a os/2 HMC? Yes. It has worked this way for many, many years.

Changing LPAR Weights
Just checking, is there any other way to change the LPAR weights other than HMC or the Service Element? No system commands that I'm aware of that allow this, correct?

The books are available from ResourceLink. LPAR weight adjustment is easily done using this interface. You'll have to get comfortable with SNMP and MIBs. You can also enable WLM LPAR Weight Management and let WLM adjust LPAR weights automatically based on real-time sampling. It's slow to react, but it eventually seems to do the right thing. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 5200 W Century Blvd, Suite 800 Los Angeles, CA 90045 310-338-0400 x318 edja...@phoenixsoftware.com http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: Changing LPAR Weights
gsg wrote: Would you be able to share your JCL? Have you read the books on the zSeries API? I'm just using a slightly modified version of IBM's sample hwmcamvs.exe. When you unpax hwmcamvs.tar, you get the source code from which hwmcamvs.exe was built. It has a hard-coded SNMP community name. So, I copied the source, changed the community name on line #4 to match what we specify in our HMC. #define COMMUNITY your-name I then compiled my own hwmcaphx.exe using the following: c++ -c -W c,DLL -I /V1R4M0/usr/include/ hwmcaphx.c c++ -o hwmcaphx.exe hwmcaphx.o HWMCAAPI.x The hwmcamvs and/or hwmcaphx commands can be invoked from any OMVS prompt, SSH, telnet or from a shell script or REXX exec running under an OMVS environment. And, as I indicated, you can launch a script or REXX exec that invokes hwmcaxxx in batch using BPXBATCH.
