Except that he is 100% incorrect. One of my client sites is currently running z/OS 1.8 (which is certainly older than 1.10) on a bc12 (2828-H13). It (z/OS 1.8) has the toleration package so that we could run it on the z/114 that they purchased back in 2012, which was since upgraded to a bc12 2

Oops, I may be wrong, I really should read what people have written completely. The z/OS 1.8 system does work on the z13s at the DR site (which is running z/VM, we have not tried it native), but you are correct that it "might" not run on a z14 or z15. It might, but I have no way to test it. I

Query ESM from REXX

Hi, Does anyone know of a way to query an ESM (RACF in this case) from a REXX program running under TSO/E and ISPF? We are currently at z/OS v2.2. I would like to know if a user has a certain access level to a resource in FACILITY. Thanks Gadi -

While IBM may reformat the probability is low that they will. They have a hard enough time updating TSO Help panels when typos are found. However if they do change the format then it shouldn't be difficult to update the parse. With the RLIST just scan to the bottom and you will see this section

Unable to VARY ONLINE DASD after SAN power outage

Hi, I have an old DS6800 running alongside my z114. Due to a power outage the SAN was shut down uncleanly and while it does not appear to indicate any failures in its logs or status displays, I'm having issues trying to IPL my LPARs from it. To try to debug this issue I loaded a z/VM installation

This could be the storage unit went into R/O mode to protect the existing data. We’ve had that happen on similar old storage devices. See if you can check the storage HMC which might reflect the condition. We had to “fix” whatever caused this protective condition allowing R/W access. Good luc

Thanks Jon, I now see two new S/W problems, one mentioning that access to data has been impacted. I looked when the SAN had booted but I guess I might have been a bit too quick before that was self-diagnosed. Oh well, reboot of the SAN it is. On Sun, Aug 2, 2020 at 7:51 PM Jon Nolting wrote:

There is no "might" about it. As shipped by IBM, nothing lower than z/OS 1.12 will run on a z14 or z15. I don't know who you think "might" know more about this particular topic than I do. I implemented the code in z/OS 1.12 which allows it to IPL on a z14. I also know which z/OS 1.12 modul
