Hello Alan, I am a little bit confused because on of your german IBM colleagues told me that hipersocket transfers is the job of the service processor (I/O processor) and will allways run at full speed independent of the capacity setting for the cpu. What is if you downgrade a cpu, will you

I wanted to check the VM prefix page to see if something was enabled, and I have forgotten how to find display CP control blocks in storage. In looking around for a how-to, I found a reference to our old friend Track being able to display the prefix page. Problem solved. A BIG 'Thank You!' to Jim

Yes, but that doesn't give you a formatted display of the prefix page, it just points to it. Since the demise of Kprobe, I don't think that Track has had any serious competition in this arena. Regards, Richard Schuh But for next time, the command is: CP LOCATE symbol E.g. cp locate

One thought on a single LPAR system and DirmSat: You can use DirmSat on a single system to maintain a directory on another volume, such that if you have a problem with your primary CP Directory volume, you have a backup to that that can be quickly activated without having to resort to tape. --

It is my understanding that IBM intends to integrate Cell Blade engine (e.g. playstation 3) technology into the z/Series ecosystem. This would seem to me to be the place where massively parallel high intensity cpu workload would live in the not so far flung future. -Original Message-

If so, then unlikely that CMS would run on cell blade engines, and emulation not required. With IBM now owning platform, who did seem to have this kind of technology, there are feasible options that would actually be marketable. Quay, Jonathan (IHG) wrote: It is my understanding that IBM

The vendor of the pseudo tape unit has changed several things in the response during a Detach so that CP now issues only a single message, HCPERP2215A TAPE 0670 REQUIRES OPERATOR INTERVENTION; MAKE DRIVE READY, which brings up a question. Why does CP care that the drive is not ready when it is

Maybe the device went 'Not Ready' before CP was able to send the Rewind/Unload command and that is why CP wants Operator intervention, to get the tape rewound and unloaded. /Tom Kern On Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:04:44 -0700, Schuh, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrot e: The vendor of the pseudo tape

It is acting more and more like one all the time :-) That is the point of all of this - to not get phony error messages from the devices when performing normal functions (such as RUN during DETACH or Logoff). We have made a lot of progress from streaming unsolicited interrupts, to reflecting a
