If you use disks without alternate cylinders like
3390-2184, you might need to use ICKSADSF R16 or
specify MIMIC(MINI(2184)) to init? For ICKDSF R13
I thought that MIMIC would only work under VM so
MVS ICKDSF R13 might not work without a USERMOD?
It's been many years. I could remember wrong.
MIMIC works on standalone R13.
Do you need ICKDSF R13 PTFs or others from me?
Not for now.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hercules-390/message/55799
IBM redbook SG24-4847 says that you need
ICKDSF 16.0A or later to format emulated dasd
(which has no alternate cylinders).
Earlier versions of ICKDSF can be used but
you would need to add MIMIC(MINI(nnn)) to the
CPVOLUME command (nnn=885 for 3380).
Which I tried with the standalone version of ICKDSF R13.0A, and this is what happened:

A CPVOLUME is formatted with 4KB blocks with

I don't think that:-

MIMIC(MINI(1113))

Tells DSF to format as CP Volume. It tells the system that the disk is a CP
minidisk, and as such:-

1. The cylinder numbers DSF sees are virtual cylinder numbers, and may not
match the physical cylinder numbers.

2. Some features of the device, such as alternate cylinders, may not be
available.

I don't think it alters anything else. However I can't find a DSF manual to
check...

For real success initializing a 3390-1 with
ICKDSF r13 under TK3, see:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hercules-390/message/57221

I may try a 3390-2184 next week-end?

Which is even better and looks to provide full function of ICKDSF for 3390s.
Post by somitcw
Just tried it with hercules 3.06. 3390 volumes get the same error.
3380 volumes work if alternate cylinders exist and the pack is
varied online and then offline before the batch job is run. Looking
at the 390-mvs message it appears I used 3390's before. Perhaps this
level of DSF is too old for 3390's.
somitcw's further isolation of the problem permits correct operation for 3390's with both the standalone and batch versions of ICKDSF R13.

Standalone version was tested with a config entry like:

190 3390 test90 cu=3880

Batch operation probably needs the same 'cu=3880' for each 3390 attempting to be operated on with ICKDSF. Not sure about 3375s & 3380s as we haven't tried them or batch operation yet.

I haven't tried stand-alone. Batch works for

I always define alternate tracks for standard
disk sizes like 3390-1

3380s default to cu=3880 so no need to code.
No problem with older stuff like 3375 because
they also default to control units older than
3990.

9345s will need cu=3880 coded because they
default to cu=9343 which Hercules has cacheing.

To summerize:
3390 need cu=3880 for MVS 3.8j
9345 need cu=3880 for MVS 3.8j
All other disk default to old enough control
units for MVS support.

IBM did reuse. Something has to give.
I believe that we only had one person that
needed 9345. How many need 2302?

I believe that a 9345-2 is the largest
standard disk that we can have?
9345-2 ( 2156 cylinders ) 1.4GB/1.5GB
depending on how you measure.

About the same as need a 2321? I'm not objecting, but will have
to track down a number of programs that have dependencies -
currently they use an AIF for ESA as the cross-over.

I have a simiar issue in MVS. I run ICKDSF with INIT on a 3390 virtual disk, but ICKDSF in MVS 380 doesn't recognize the 3390 device type. THere could be an old PTF somewhere to patch ICKDSF, but I have no idea where to look for it. MIMIC won't work in MVS either.
It's not a killer, I can live without 3390, but it would be nice to have.

Back in the dark ages when we ran MVS 3.8 on real hardware in order to use 3380 devices on the non SP/SE versions of MVS one had install the predecessor to DFP along with a $4000/mo piece of software that allowed the support to run without MVS/SP 1.x ICKDSF R13 is looking for that software. I dont think 3390 devices even existed at this time) The mods that are on the Turnkey allow 3380 devices to work (And updated for 3390 and 3375) but do not install the support that ICKDSF looks for.

I have ICKDSF documentation for R15 and MIMIC(MINI()) is only allowed in the standalone version.

I have a simiar issue in MVS. I run ICKDSF with INIT on a 3390 virtual
disk, but ICKDSF in MVS 380 doesn't recognize the 3390 device type. THere
could be an old PTF somewhere to patch ICKDSF, but I have no idea where to
look for it. MIMIC won't work in MVS either.
It's not a killer, I can live without 3390, but it would be nice to have.
Roger
Back in the dark ages when we ran MVS 3.8 on real hardware in order to use
3380 devices on the non SP/SE versions of MVS one had install the
predecessor to DFP along with a $4000/mo piece of software that allowed the
support to run without MVS/SP 1.x ICKDSF R13 is looking for that software. I
dont think 3390 devices even existed at this time) The mods that are on the
Turnkey allow 3380 devices to work (And updated for 3390 and 3375) but do
not install the support that ICKDSF looks for.

I have ICKDSF documentation for R15 and MIMIC(MINI()) is only allowed in the
standalone version.

Somewhat unrelated Google brought me to Raphael Pereira III's website where I found "IPL from CD: DFSMSdss and ICKDSF STAND-ALONE", how to build it from different versions found SAMPLIBs and how to IPL from Hercules. See

Hi all,

I know this is getting a bit OFF TOPIC. I am sorry for that. But just in case someone is interested in this point, I have checked the contents under http://perso.wanadoo.es/rptv2005/ and they are exactly what they were supposed to be. No malicious contents at all.

Regards,

Rafa.

Please correct me if I am wrong, "perso.wanadoo.es" is a personal home page
hosting site, likely abused by many of its users. While Norton isn't wrong
per se, this link scan stuff is for kids, computer dummies and the naive,
me-know-it-all's. IMHO all others are better off to point their routers at
OpenDNS's free or paid service (http://www.opendns.com/)
and practise the TCP/IP version of "safe sex". However anyone who disagrees
with me should renew the subscription to whatever his/her PC must smoke.

Hey Andreas,



There is no need to get so snappy! I got a warning and I shared it with the
group, that's all.

If you don't like NIS, you may keep it to yourself. I get these warnings on
less than 1% of the sites I visit, so when it happens I pay attention.
Symantec allows the site owner to update the information, and correct any
issues.



Thanks for the tip with OpenDNS though, I will surely pay the a visit.

Hey Roger,

There is no need to get so snappy! You got a false positive from a
questionable tool or source about the content posted by an esteemed
professional and member of our community who's accomplishments I recommended
here. I am also a part-time sysop, run my own websever (apache, mysql) and
my statement about Link Scanners has nothing to do with "feelings" towards
NIS.

I believe BOTH of our intentions were well meant and, although somewhat OFF
TOPIC, served a purpose. THE END (feel free to respond, but let's take it
off-list).
