The mirrored dasd would be nice. However, we do not have it yet. What we do
have is writing backups to remote tape units. We do Hidro backups to them
because of the speed and lesser line charges. We maintain 5 generations of the
backups. When the backups complete, we send a note to a distributio

I've hated it for years. What's "best" for you is not neccesarily "best"

Of course. Computers aren't the brightest bulbs on the string, but they

Watching ³A Christmas Story² makes me wonder if you can ³shoot your eye

Can anyone point me to a source for z/VM ³Best Practices² that addresses

In HMC the LOADPARM is empty.
OK, I have fixed? it. I have been doing a "load" from the HMC. I did an
"Activate" instead and it worked. Subsequently "load" and "activate" are
working.
Any insight?
Thanks as always.

Hello Everyone,
Just an update, I am finding that the DS6800 cache commands (z/VM and
z/VSE) are a mystery to IBM too.
I have both a Hardware PMR and Software PMR (currently open) on what the
output of the commands mean.
The numbers do not match anything nor do they add up.
I did get a "Col

You can also enter CONS in the LOADPARM field, it will also bypass the
SAPL screen, but pass CONS= to CP
Example: CONSSYSG starts CP on the "Integrated 3270 console"

David,
What are the arguments on the HMC (or from 1st level when IPLing a 2nd
level system) when you IPL?
If you DO include an argument "LOADPARM dev_addr", then the SALIPL screen
will appear, requiring F10 to load the system.
If you DO NOT include the "LOADPARM dev_addr", an IPL should not dis
Are you loading from the HMC and passing a loadparm?

My new ZVM 5.4 IPL stops at the SAPL screen and makes me press F10 to load.
