Hi Ron, Well for for my CA VSE products I think they will work on any CPU as you say.
I know when I went to the ASG site , through their "Intelligent Service Portal" you can get the temporary keys online. I have ASG-TMON for CICS/TS and also ZEKE from them. Their panel asks for the CPUID of the disaster recovery machine. Anyways going to start them up soon and see what happens Mike -----Original Message----- From: VM/ESA and z/VM Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Schmiedge, Ronald Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 11:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CPUTYPE 2nd Level Mike, When we do DR of our VM systems the license keys we obtain for our VSE guests permit them to run on any processor for a limited time. In the case of CA, it is an emergency key (EKG) that replaces all license keys and allows everything to run but just for a few days.

I have some VSE systems running under the 2nd level system and I would like them to act exactly as during a disaster recovery (to make sure my new license keys work).

The real answer is that for many things, you can get away with ZAPping the CPU type in the virtual machine's VM control block, provided you also zap the "FF" that tells the guest that you're running it under VM. Your mileage may vary! I make no warranties, explicit or implied, as to whether this will cause catastrophic problems with your running guest.

I have been informed that the machine I will be using is a IBM-2064-1C6 with a serial number of 02-00XXXXX Trying to simulate the test now on a 2nd level zVM system. I am presently running on a 9672. I have changed the OPTION statement for this virtual machine adding 'CPUID 0XXXXX' to its directory entry. Will be logging off this machine and re-logging on presently. Since I can't change the cputype on my current system what would be the response from the Q CPUID when I actually use this new machine ? Would it be 'FF0XXXXX20640000' ? Is there anyway I can have the 2nd level zVm system return a different cputype when one either issues the 'Q CPUID' command or uses the DIAG 218 instruction. Thanks Mike Horlick CGI Montreal,Quebec,Canada
