Re: Cloning a Sysres and ZFS

Hi Bart, Thanks the below is exactly what I was looking to find out. I think the reason the HFS are all in the master catalog is it worked and nobody thought to change it, now that we are converting to ZFS we need to change it. Thanks James -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe

Re: Cloning a Sysres and ZFS

Hi John, You mention using ZONEEDIT to point the DDDEFs into Never-Never Land to stop production dataset being updated by accident. All our DDDEFs use the volume so the targets always points at the correct datasets but this doesn't work for our HFS or ZFS because they need to be mounted at

Re: Cloning a Sysres and ZFS

To expand on that thought a bit: - You can name the usercatalog using the volume name. - You can use SYMBOLICRELATE on DEFINE ALIAS to point to the catalog thusly named in the master catalog on the production system. - If you have more than one volume in your target volume set, you can

Cloning a Sysres and ZFS

Hi, We use a process of cloning on our Dev lpar to create new Sysres before we apply maintenance, it has worked fine for Zos 1r13 but we only used HFS. We have started to use ZFS for 2r1 which is fine if the Sysres is for the same Lpar the clone process is run on but I am now cloning a Sysres

RE How to change sysplex name

Changing sysplex name will certainly require an XCF 'cold start'. That is, all members must down, then IPL each member into the new sysplex. I can't look at our CDSes at the moment, but in every case where the format control statements contain sysplex name, you must format a new CDS with the new

Re: Cloning a Sysres and ZFS

We also use a form of this strategy so there is NEVER a chance the running environments get impacted. Service is applied to a static environment, and then cloned as necessary to form resvol sets. All running systems us indirect cataloging and symbolics to locate datasets as needed. Jerry

Re: How to Dynamically add SUBSYTEM

I'm reluctant to jump in early with disappointing news, but I think you have to IPL. As promising as dynamic SSI sounded when it was introduced, it soon exhibited limited usability because a subsystem has to be coded to allow dynamic management. Even most IBM subsystems at first did not support

How to Dynamically add SUBSYTEM

Hello, We have a subsystem that did not properly get initialized with the IPL. In SYS1.PARMLIB(IEFSSN00) we have the following statement: SUBSYS SUBNAME(SSI) INITRTN(SSIPINIT) INITPARM('3') Subsystem SSI is an in-house written subsystem. During the IPL, we received the following errors:

Re: Cloning a Sysres and ZFS

Most posts in this thread seem to support the strategy of 'cloning a running system in order to do maintenance'. For as long as I can remember, we have pursued the opposite strategy: the service environment is permanent for the life of a ServerPac and is cloned to produce running systems to

Re: Cloning a Sysres and ZFS

Hi James, We clone our sysres (maintained in sandbox) every month to generate IPL volumes for the Dev and Prod LPARs. Almost all datasets on the sysres volume are in a user catalog on that same sysres, including the VERSION zFS. We don't have a single zFS in the master catalog. We're 2.1 now,

Re: How to Dynamically add SUBSYTEM

I remember zapping the existing subsystem block in memory to some other name and then running the re-init. Probably not something I would do except on a test system or if we were about to IPL anyway. But from Jim Mulder's note, it sounds like 2.2 provides a way to do something similar -

Re: How to Dynamically add SUBSYTEM

To follow up on Jim's comment... there are actually a couple of changes in z/OS 2.2 that makes this behave differently than older releases. First, you can delete a subsystem using the SETSSI DELETE command as Jim noted. Second, in this case, on z/OS 2.2 you wouldn't even need to do that, you could
