Re: ibmvsm/ZOSMIGV2R3_NEXT_VSM_USERKEYCOMM
Hello Barbara/Bruce, >parm(new) did the trick! This bit of information must have been buried in all >the RUCSA stuff that I skipped over because it doesn't apply to us.< Yes, OA56180 had quite a bit of documentation, but this trick was actually buried in the OA53355 documentation :-) >On one system the HealthCheck triggered, saying event started in middle of >March. review of all SMF data through March found no culprits. IBM support >suggested to find the first IGVH114E in OPERLOG for the system. I found one in >April. Review of April SMF located the bad boy.< I want to add one more (possibly obvious) tip. When you find the first instance of IGVH114E, you only need to look at SMF data from the past hour (or whatever the health check interval is set to, the default interval setting is an hour). For example, if the first IGVH114E was issued on April 16, 2019 at 8:47am, you only need to review SMF data starting at April 16, 2019 at 7:47am. This could save you from having to go over a half a month of SMF data in your scenario. >I read over the apar text of oa56180. I didn't see that it talks about >correcting the audit flag not being set correctly. I must have again >overlooked something.< You are right. We'll add this to the APAR text. As you can tell, OA56180 is sort of a followup to OA53355. The problem was found during OA56180 development.

Re: In-rack FICON DASD
We have been using the Visara 8810 for almost a year, and it has been a reliable, cost effective, rack mounted solution for our older z890 running VM and VSE. It has a small footprint, and is faster than what our old z890 channels can handle, so it is limited only by our CPU. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Mike Shorkend Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2019 8:28 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: In-rack FICON DASD Check out IBM's DS8882F.

Christian, Another choice is the Dell EMC PowerMax which has beentested and qualified to run inside the z14 ZR1 or LinuxOne Rockhopper II LR1with the 16U Reserved feature (FC 0617). The PowerMax delivers new levels ofperformance and efficiency with a future-proof architecture that features end-to-end non-volatile memory express (NVMe) and abuilt-in machine learning engine. PowerMax is built on the comprehensivefunctionality and proven resiliency of Dell EMC’s flagship storage platform. Itis designed for six-nines of availability and offers data-at-rest encryption(D@RE), massive scalability, and best-in-class data protection with SymmetrixRemote Data Facility (SRDF), the gold standard in remote replication. PowerMaxalso enables the potential for significant savings through consolidation withsupport for mixed environments: mainframe, open systems applications, IBM i,and file storage on the same array—simplifying operations and significantlylowering TCO.

Indeed. Long ago, at Mitre -- relatively small account (360/50 running OS/MVT when I joined, 4341 and 4381 running VM as Single System Image when I left) that punched above its weight, we had an FE room with supplies/manuals/etc. -- including microcode listings as long as they were available (very interesting reading!). FE wasn't there full time but he was a regular visitor and great partner. Same for PSR -- wasn't there full-time but came when needed or just to check on how things were going. When IBM announced Support Center it was a very hard sell convincing us (me!) that it would be an improvement over in-person live-person familiar-person who knew the account very well. Since IBM wanted us to be early adopter of Support Center when PSRs were still available, we made them promise we could revert to PSR if we were unhappy, and we got a few accommodations to how we liked to do business. I guess that was the old IBM... "Schuffenhauer, Mark" said: When I was first working we had IBM folks in our building, every day, with their own desks. Opening a ticket involved talking to their desk and explaining. Amazingly someone would often call as soon as I got back to my desk, sometimes even before. The PMR's often were already opened.

HSM dummy question ML1
Hi I am not a storage expert but in one of our shop I have inherited the storage work as well. I was going through the manual which says as DFSMSHSM managed volume, a ML1 and a user volume. When we say ML1 I understand it's a dasd ? So if it a HSM managed where can I list it or do we define a set of pool ?

Re: ibmvsm/ZOSMIGV2R3_NEXT_VSM_USERKEYCOMM
IBM's reply contained this:-
If you take a look at OA53355, you'll see the full description of the
healthcheck and how you can adjust it or reset. Here is the portion
that you'd be interested in:
Add the following new Health check:
ZOSMIGV2R3_NEXT_VSM_USERKEYCOMM
Description:
This check determines if any usage of user key common
storage was detected on the system.
Reason for check:
Allowing programs to use user key common creates a
security risk because common storage can then be
modified by any unauthorized program. This check
provides advanced warning of this potential security
risk so the system programmer can take appropriate action.
z/OS releases the check applies to:
z/OS V2R1 and later.
Parameters accepted:
The following parameters are supported to control WTOs
produced by exception messages when a new user key common
storage usage attempt is detected:
PARM('ALL')
Exceptions should be issued if there are any user
key common storage usage attempts made on this
system since the last IPL.
==> PARM('NEW(text value)') <===
Exceptions should only be issued for user key common
storage usage attempts that are detected after this
parameter is set. The 'text value' is
free-form and is not used by health check
processing. It should contain text to help the user
uniquely identify this particular parameter set.
The following are examples of PARM specifications for
ZOSMIGV2R3_NEXT_VSM_USERKEYCOMM:
PARM('NEW(/mm/dd hh:mm)')
PARM('ALL')
