r 00, clpa and subsequent "Invalid Reply Format"

[Anyanso]

Hi all,

In my Hercules control panel, I put the command: IPL 148 and that
worked.
In my 3270 terminal, I put the command: r 00,clpa ; and the terminal
display: IEA212A DUPLICATE VOLUME 'SPOOL0' D, 150 OR 151. REPLY
DEVICE ADDR

I tried the following to no avail:
HHCTE006A Enter input for console device 0009
151
IEA305A INVALID REPLY FORMAT - RESPECIFY
HHCTE006A Enter input for console device 0009
0151
IEA305A INVALID REPLY FORMAT - RESPECIFY
HHCTE006A Enter input for console device 0009
D,0151; D,151 and both times I got
IEA305A INVALID REPLY FORMAT - RESPECIFY
HHCTE006A Enter input for console device 0009

Do you have any idea what is the problem? And what must I do with the duplicate Volume issue? Both volumes seem to have data. There are of SPOOL variety but with different device address:

0150 3330 c:/PROGRA~1/mvs38j/dasd/spool0.150 size=62 KB
0151 3330 c:/PROGRA~1/mvs38j/dasd/spool0.151 size=2.46 MB


Thanks a lot!

This early in the IPL process one has to use the "old style" reply format.
And, this early no message IDs are displayed, so the ID used to reply to the
message is 00. Try:

r 00,150

Do you have any idea what is the problem?

You have two DASD volumes at addresses 150 and 151 with the same VOLSER -
SPOOL0.

IEA212A is asking which volume should be dismounted. Reply with the address
of the volume to dismount.

I checked my Turnkey setup and I also have a spool0.150 DASD file of the
same size. It's not referenced in any of the config files that came with my
copy of the Turnkey. Since it has the same VOLSER as spool0.151 I suspect
it was included unintentionally. It's small size suggests that there's
nothing on it. The config file I've been using has the starter system
SYSRES volume, dasd/start1.150, at address 150.

Therefore you have done an install by a different
method, without mentioning that fact. If you
aren't installing via the documented method, but
instead using a "helper" script, then you need to
let everyone know, so that the right support
people will deal.

I'm pretty sure the helper script did not put the
above in the config file. You presumably changed
it yourself. That change is wrong, and causing
you your current problem. Why did you change it
in the first place? Was there some other problem?

Regardless, you need to put it back to how it was,

What else have you changed? I've looked at the
turnkey_mvs.conf and I can't see anything that
you SHOULD be changing. If you change things
without letting anyone know, it makes it very
difficult to figure out what the problem is.

If you start with one problem at a time, there's
more chance of a successful install.

I know it's difficult when 5 people give different
suggestions - but you need to say which one you
decided to choose, as they are usually different
paths to the same end result.

Paul,
What you alluded to was a typo. My installation is in c:/PROGRA~1/mvs38j/dasd/start1.150

I am sorry for the typo...
Thanks
