Comments

  • 'z/OS V2R2.0 DFSMSdss Storage Administration' (SC23-6868-xx)
    will need to be updated as follows:
    
    In Chapter 19:
    Under the heading, 'DFSMSdss stand-alone services',
     Replace the second bullet with:
       Supports all supported z System IBM tape libraries and tape
       subsystems.
    
    Under the heading, 'Preparing to run the stand-alone services
    program',
     Replace the third and forth paragraphs with:
      'The Stand-Alone Services program operates on an IBM
      z System  processor in z/Architecture mode. The Stand-Alone
      Services program can run in a z/OS LPAR or in a virtual
      machine under z/VM in an LPAR with a general purpose
      machine processor (CP).'
    
      'The Stand-Alone Services program operates in z/Architecture
      architectural mode and requires 2MB of real storage.'
    
     Remove the following text:
      Virtual Machine (VM) Note: To Specify EC mode while the Stand-
      Alone Services program is running under VM/370, enter:
      CP SET ECMODE ON
    
    Remove the section entitled 'Running stand-alone services in
      370 mode'.
    
    For the heading, 'Running stand-alone services in XA or ESA
      mode',
     Rename this section to 'Running stand-alone services.'
    
     Replace the first sentence under the first sub-bullet as
       follows:
      'For DASD and tape devices:
       -Stand-Alone Services issues Assign and Unsassign commands
        for tape devices, and Device Reserve and Device Release
        command for DASD devices (if the command is supported by
        the device).'
    
    Under the heading, 'Running stand-alone services with a
       predefined console'.
     In the first paragraph:
      Replace 'ES/9000 console' with 'IBM zSystem console'.
    
    Under the heading, 'Using a tape library',
      Replace the first paragraph with:
      'This topic explains how to use supported IBM tape libraries
       to IPL Stand-Alone Services and restore your dump data set
       tapes, and how to use the tape library menu options.'
    
     Under the 'Note:' heading, remove item #1.
    
     In the paragraph following 'Note', replace the first line
      with:
      'The Stand-Alone Services RESTORE and TAPECNTL commands are
       supported by devices within supported IBM tape libraries.'
    
    Under the heading 'IPLing and restoring from a tape library',
     Replace the 'Table 25.' heading with the following:
      'Table 25. Stand Alone Services Options when Using an IBM
       Supported Tape Library.  Procedures referred to in this
       table appear later in this section.'
    
    Under the heading 'Interpreting wait-state codes',
     Replace the first paragraph with the following:
      'DFSMSdss stores a code in the six right-most bytes of the
       programming status word (PSW). The following wait-state
       codes can occur during the Stand-Alone Services IPL.'
    
     Remove the following wait-state code and description:
      '00BCBC
        An attempt was made to IPL a processor that is in BC mode.
        IPL on a processor that supports EC mode.  When you IPL
        from a VM user ID, set it to EC mode. This PSW is only
        loaded if you are IPLing from card or tape.'
    
     Add the following wait-state code and description:
      '0000AA
        An attempt was made to IPL a processor that could not
        switch to zArchitecture.  zArchitecture is required on
        this release of Stand-Alone Services.'
    
    Under the heading, 'TAPECNTL - rewinding and unloading tape':
     Replace the third paragraph with:
      'The TAPECNTL command supports devices that are part of
       supported IBM Tape Libraries.'
    
    
    'zOS/V2R2.0 MVS System Messages, Vol 1 (ABA-AOM)'
    (SA38-0668-xx) will need to be updated as follows:
