Re: Wells Fargo? Well f*&%#d at the moment: Data center up in smoke, bank website, app down . The Register

2019-02-13 Thread Vernooij, Kees (ITOP NM) - KLM
Well, as well as you want to run with data replication on in your normal 
production site, you want to run with replication on in your DR situation when 
production transaction are modifying data.

Just reverse the replication when starting up the DR site.
And reverse replication again after returning to the normal site.

Kees.

Hi,

When I look at the list of scratch volumes in ISMF, I see lots of volumes with 
the status 'REJ BY TAP MGT SYS'
I know that if I alter them and select Scratch, they will be returned to the 
scratch pool.

Is there a way to do this in Batch or for all of the volumes in one operation.
I have more than 500 of these volumes.

Thanks

When you say scratch pool do you mean remove from HSM entirely or do you mean 
mark as available to HSM?

Whichever you decide, you can set the ISMF report to a dataset and write a REXX 
to parse it and generate DELVOL commands.

PPRC power failure

2019-02-13 Thread Peter
Hi

One of our DS box in DR had a power failure last night and our production
LPARS logon got impacted . When I checked up the RMF i saw many DASD
devices were overloaded and flood of PPRC error messages too in SYSLOG.

Once we fixed the power failure and re-established the replication the
logins and all the application started running.

Is there any relationship to system performance with the PPRC failure ?

Why the &*^^%* in 2019 should anyone have to move these modules out of LPA?  
Other than inertia, is there any need for these to be 24 bit?
What else is in 24 bit LPA that should have been upgraded to 31 bit long ago?

Sure, managers have been known to do silly things once or twice  but there 
is no need for a surprise, unplanned rollback, right? A realistic DR drill 
would require a surprise, but the rollback could be planned, no?

Willy-nilly is about notification and opportunity for preparation. For example, 
management declares a surprise DR drill on a Saturday morning. So the techs 
execute their well-rehearsed swap-over plan and begin running production at the 
DR site. Real live transactions with actual customer data. The old production

I can attest that we have a number of customers that swap workloads between two

We have one or two with a third site in the mix! Yikes!!!

HSM question - ML2 copy2 tapes that have no copy1

2019-02-13 Thread Pommier, Rex
Hello list,

I have a few HSM ML2 duplex tapes that no longer have their corresponding 
migrate tapes that I can't seem to get rid of.  If I try to do  DELVOL, I get 
an error saying they're not defined migrate volumes.  What we're doing is 
migrating our HSM ML2 environment into a VTS (replicated) and eliminating the 
duplex tapes.  I have these 4 duplex tapes from 2015 and 2017 that I can't get 
rid of.  I think HSM still knows about these tapes and if I try to scratch them 
in the TMS, it says they're owned by an external data manager (ie HSM).

Any thoughts on how to cleanly get rid of these tapes?  I've looked at TAPEREPL 
but don't know if that would be a solution or not.

TIA,
Rex

From what IBM say it's z/VM that's caused the connection to close, which

Hi,

When I look at the list of scratch volumes in ISMF, I see lots of volumes with 
the status 'REJ BY TAP MGT SYS'
I know that if I alter them and select Scratch, they will be returned to the 
scratch pool.

Is there a way to do this in Batch or for all of the volumes in one operation.
I have more than 500 of these volumes.

Thanks

Gadi

Re: HSM question - ML2 tapes no longer avaialble

2019-02-13 Thread Allan Staller
IMO, an empty tape has no value.
HSM will not even mount attempt to mount it for the recycle.

That being said, HDELVOL volser MIGRATION(PURGE) will also work just fine.

If you have CA1 then there is a utility program CTSSYNC that will do the

When you say scratch pool do you mean remove from HSM entirely or do you
mean mark as available to HSM?

Whichever you decide, you can set the ISMF report to a dataset and write a
REXX to parse it and generate DELVOL commands.

Several years ago, the HSM tapes were migrated from 3490 to 3590.

Re: SYSSTATE (was Abend 052-512)

2019-02-13 Thread Peter Relson
Steve Smith wrote:
>SYSSTATE OSREL=SYSSTATE,ARCHLVL=OSREL 

I agree with Steve. That is what we use for code applicable to the new 
z/OS release. 
At least for the cases where we know that the code will be running on that 
release (an exception being such MIGLIB things as IPCS-related parts that 
might run on an earlier release)

z/OS 2.3 introduced the concept of OSREL=MIGLIB which you might think of 
as the oldest in-full-support release at the time of GA of the release 
(which was z/OS 2.1 as of z/OS 2.3 GA). 

Anyway, the mild caveat is that these work if you have only one release in 
play. A lot of customers (especially during migration) have multiple 
releases in play.

A point: if you invoke z/OS macros, you should expect to provide 
addressability to static storage (such as where a LTORG might put 
something). Relative branch might get rid of the need for inlined data, 
but (even with the immediates) does not intend to get rid of the need for 
static data.

Over time, some macros will "move up" to something more current (even 
"relative branch" is more current that most defaults) even without a 
SYSSTATE specification (in particular when not doing so would be more 
costly than doing so). But my view is that we would not move up to "fully 
current" because we still want you to be able to compile with the "new 
release's macros" but run on older (but supported) releases, and typically 
more releases than are under full support.  So for example, a macro might 
well move up to "assume z/Architecture" but likely not "assume zEC12 
instructions" (which are part of the z/OS 2.3 Architecture Level Set) or 
usually not even "z10" instructions (the z/OS 2.2 ALS) or "z9" 
instructions. There are likely exceptions, but that's the general thought.

Ron,
I'm afraid this has now gone outside my area of expertise...

From what IBM say it's z/VM that's caused the connection to close, which 
suggests that the output on the z/OS side is ok.

Sorry I can't be of any more help.  It would be useful to know what the outcome 
is though.
