19. 15/08/14 DASD addresses to avoid when installing z/VM
Care should be used in selecting the DASD addresses
that are used when you install z/VM. Because the
installation programs make use of the CP DEFINE
command, if one of the addresses you use for your
installation volumes is the same as a default
IBM device (for example, CP will assume 1403 is a
printer and 2501 is a card reader) an error can occur.
A list of devices than may cause conflicts with DASD
address can be found in "Appendix B. Device Class and
Type Codes" in "z/VM: CP Planning and Administration".
18. 15/03/26 Installing z/VM 540 as a guest of z/VM 620 and higher
If you are installing z/VM 540 as a second level guest of
z/VM 620 or higher, you must get a copy of the DISKMAP
utility from an older level of z/VM (z/VM 540 or 610, for
example) and put it on the 191 (A disk) of the first
level userid where you will perform the installation.
The DISKMAP EXEC can be found on the MAINT 190 (S) disk
on older levels of z/VM. If you cannot get a copy of the
program from an older level of z/VM please contact z/VM
service for assistance.
17. 14/06/17 Traditional Installation: Part RPIDIRCT CNTRL is
incorrectly missing from the PMAINT 551 disk. To copy
RPIDIRCT CNTRL to the PMAINT 551 disk, do the following:
- Log on to MAINT630
- LINK and ACCESS the 6VMRAC30 651 disk:
LINK 6VMRAC30 651 651 RR
ACCESS 651 G
- LINK and ACCESS the PMAINT 551 disk:
LINK PMAINT 551 551 MR
ACCESS 551 Z
- Copy the file:
VMFCOPY RPIDIRCT CNTRL G1 = = Z1 (PRODID 6VMRAC30%RACF
SPRODID 6VMRAC30%RACF OLDDATE REPLACE
16. 14/04/25 The z/VM installation tools (INSTPLAN, INSTUPGR, etc.) can
be used only when the language setting of the invoking user
ID is that for (mixed-case) American English (Language ID:
AMENG). System message rnpositories for other languages
(such as Uppercase English -- UCENG) are not provided with
these tools, which precludes the use of any language
setting different from AMENG.
15. 14/02/13 Upgrade Install: LOHCOST SAMPPROF not copied to LOHCOST 191
The file LOHCOST SAMPPROF, needed for LOHCOST on z/VM
6.3.0, was not copied to the LOHCOST 191 disk during the
upgrade installation procedure. To ensure that LOHCOST
will startup and function properly, you must copy the
LOHCOST SAMPPROF file from the MAINT630 493 disk to the
LOHCOST 191 disk, renaming the file to PROFILE EXEC. Log
on to MAINT630 on the system you have upgraded and enter
the following commands. If you have upgraded multiple
systems in a multi-member SSI cluster, you must log on to
each member that you have upgraded and enter the
following commands:
SIGNAL SHUTDOWN LOHCOST WITHIN 2
After LOHCOST is shutdown (logged off),
LINK LOHCOST 191 vdev MR
where vdev is a free virtual address
ACCESS vdev fm
where fm is a free filemode

14. 13/10/25 DASD Restriction for XCAT Linux ISO Repository
The "Systems Management Application Programming" book
describes "Configuring the Extreme Cloud Administration
Toolkit (xCAT) for z/VM" in Chapter 4. The section titled
"Defining the Linux ISO Repository for z/VM Images"
describes how to configure the DASD volume names for the
Linux ISO in DMSSICNF COPY. As of October 2013 you can
only specify 3390 ECKD volumes as the DASD for the Linux
ISO. There is a known problem preventing SCSI DASD volumes
from being used for the LINUX ISO repository. z/VM
will delivered in the regular z/VM service stream.
13. 13/10/25 RACF disk DDR instruction changes for Upgrade Install
The instructions for copying the 6VMRAC30 505 disk to the
RACFVM 305 disk in Chapter 29, Step 5, substep 10j, part 2,
are not correct. The RACFVM 305 disk is larger than the
6VMRAC30 505 disk so you should use COPYFILE to copy the
files instead of DDR. The corrected instructions are:
- While logged on to the MIGMAINT userid:
LINK 6VMRAC30 505 1505 RR
LINK RACFVM 305 1305 MR
ACCESS 1505 G
ACCESS 1305 H
VMFERASE PROD 6VMRAC20%RACF FROM H
VMFCOPY * * G = = H (PRODID 6VMRAC30%RACF SPRODID
6VMRAC30%RACF OLDDATE REPLACE
RELEASE G (DETACH
RELEASE H (DETACH
NOTE: If you had previously followed the instructions in
the book and used DDR to copy the 505 disk to the 305
disk then you need to format the 305 disk (to restore
the correct disk size) and then follow the VMFCOPY
instructions above. Remember that you must stop the
RACFVM server and autolog the test server (RACMAINT)
so that you can get the 305 disk in write mode. Also
note that you must follow these instructions for
every member that you have upgraded in your SSI cluster.
12. 13/10/25 Correction to Upgrade Installation DASD requirements
In Chapter 20, step 3, substep 10 of the z/VM Installation
Guide the DASD requirement for 3390 model 9 DASD is
incorrect. You will need 6 volumes of 3390 model 9 DASD
to install the upgrade installation work system.
11. 13/10/25 Swap order of steps in Ch. 25 for an Upgrade Installation
If you are performing an upgrade installation and you
have DirMaint enabled and you use an external security
manager, you should perform the security authorizations
listed in Chapter 25, step 2 before completing Step 1
in Chapter 25.
10. 13/10/25 SSI Installation: Volume may not copy correctly
When performing a traditional installation to install
a multimember SSI, DASD volumes from the first system
installed are copied to DASD volumes for the second, third
and fourth systems (according to the number of members
installed.) The installation procedure will fail if
the label used for the RES volume or for a WORK volume
for the first member is the last volume entry in the
USER DISKMAP generated by the installation procedure.
To avoid this error select DASD labels for your first
member that will not be last when all the volume labels
are sorted in alphanumeric order.
9. 13/10/25 Upgrade installation: RACF MACLIB not copied to MAINT 19E
The file RACF MACLIB was not copied to the MAINT 19E disk
during the upgrade installation procedure. To ensure that
all RACF and CP (when RACF is enabled) service functions
perform correctly you should copy the file from the
6VMRAC30 505 disk to the MAINT 19E disk with filemode 2.
Log on to MAINT630 on the system you have upgraded and
enter the following commands. If you have upgraded
multiple systems in a multi-member SSI cluster, you
should log on to each member that you have upgraded
and follow theses steps.
- Copy the file:
LINK 6VMRAC30 505 505 RR
ACCESS 505 G
LINK MAINT 19E 19E MR
ACCESS 19E T
VMFCOPY RACF MACLIB G1 = = T2 (PRODID 6VMRAC30%RACF
SPRODID 6VMRAC30%RACF OLDDATE REPLACE
- Resave the CMS segment:
PUT2PROD SAVECMS
8. 13/10/17 Installation media updated to include RSU 6302
The installation media for z/VM 630 has been updated to
include 6302RSU. This RSU contains some important
service that may be needed by some customers who will
be using the Upgrade Installation procedure. The new
media is recommended for customers who will be upgrading
a VMSSI cluster with 4 members and for customers who are
upgrading systems where DirMaint is enabled. If you
received your product media before September 6, 2013
2013, you can use Shopz to reorder the media. If you
are not going to use the Upgrade Installation procedure
you do not need to order replacement media.
7. 13/09/13 In the z/VM 630 Installation Guide, incorrect link modes
In Table 24 on page 253 of the Installation Guide for
z/VM 630, some link modes in the column with heading
"Indirect link (with mode)" are not correct. In all cases
the link mode given in the column with heading "Directory
link (with mode)" is the correct mode that should be
used for the indirect link mode. Use the mode listed
in the column with heading "Directory link (with mode)"
when authorizing the user IDs for the indirect resources.
6. 13/09/13 After Upgrade Install, files on MAINT 19E need to be
renamed. If you have used the Upgrade Installation
procedure to install z/VM 630 on your existing z/VM 620
system, some files were copied to the MAINT 19E disk with
an incorrect file mode. To correct this problem, log on to
MAINT630 enter the following commands:
LINK MAINT 19E 19E MR

5. 13/07/26 620 APARS required for a mixed release environment.
Before installing a 630 system in a 620 SSI cluster
or upgrading a member of a multi-member 620 SSI cluster
see the z/VM Program Directory, section 5.1.6.1.1.
4. 13/07/26 DirMaint APAR required for an Upgrade Installation.
If you are running DirMaint, before using the Upgrade
Installation process to upgrade a 620 system, the DirMaint
APAR VM65297 must be applied to the 620 system being
upgraded.
3. 13/07/26 During an upgrade installation, RACF build may fail due to
timing problems. If this failure occurs, xedit the
SERVICE EXEC to increase the timer value for the command
that failed.
For example, if the build failed on "CLOSE PRT", to change
the timer value to 1 minute:
1) xedit SERVICE EXEC
2) locate bldracf:
3) locate close prt
4) locate 7timer
5) change /00:10/01:00/
6) file = = a
2. 13/07/26 During an upgrade installation, if you are running
DirMaint and this is not the first member you are
upgrading, you may get warning messages from INSTUPGR
STAGE2 regarding the DirMaint help files. You can ignore
these messages.
1. 13/10/25 After the upgrade installation is complete, if you are NOT
running RACF, it is necessary to copy the 6VMRAC30 590 and
505 disks to the RACFVM 490 and 305 disks. Follow the
instructions in Chapter 29 Step 5 substep 3j, part 1 and
in item 13 above.
This section outlines major errors in the product's published
documentation.
1. YY/MM/DD NO ENTRIES
This section contains general information, i.e. SYSGEN hints/tips.
