Hi all,
The site I'm on is replacing GRS with CA-MIM.
This is mainly 'cos they don't have a 'PLEX, but do have two closely coupled
LPARS on different CECS.
Both of those CECS will be moving to different remote sites, and connectivity
will be over FCTC's.
>From what I know, GRS will only "talk" over a FCTC using XRC, and they can't

We've defined all new FCTC's (Exxx and Fxxx unit / CU addresses), and have
defined all LPARS to talk to each other both on the existing CECs and the new
CECs.
CA-MIM provides a procedure for testing the CTC "paths" before going live,
PROCCTC (We have called ours MIICTC)
To run this, you are supposed to start the proc, and pass it the CTC unit
address, i.e. S PROCCTC,/E700 (or in our case S MIICTC,/E700 - you need the /
for a 4 digit unit address)
However, when we start our proc, it fails: -
S MIICTC,/E700
/£HASP100 MIICTC ON STCINRDR
IEF695I START MIICTC WITH JOBNAME MIICTC IS ASSIGNED TO USER STC

/IEF403I MIICTC - STARTED - TIME=08.34.14

-MIICTC ENDED. NAME- TOTAL TCB CPU TIME= .00
TOTAL ELAPSED TIME= .0
/£HASP395 MIICTC ENDED
IEE132I START COMMAND DEVICE ALLOCATION ERROR
The JCL is good, and the unit address correct.
We know that SMS was getting in the mix previously, 'cos they EXCLUDE a bunch
of devices / unit addresses in their "valid dasd", but they changed the ACS
routines to exclude E* and F* devices: -
FILTLIST &VALID_DASD EXCLUDE('3590-1',
64%,92%,B4%,1F%,06%,4A%,E*,F*,
And have put them live. (Don't ask why they do this, I don't know!)
I ran a SMS test case against the ACTIVE SMS CDS on all three LPARs, specifying
an Exxx and a Fxxx unit address, and now they do NOT have a storage class
assigned, whereas they were getting one assigned previously.
However, the proc still fails.
CA-MIM is critical to the CEC move project (of course). I have CA looking at
it, but can anyone else shed some light on what might be happening here?
TIA.
