A successful IPL, rather than the dreaded wait state and re-IPLing another system, is always what you want to achieve. Unless you are testing or simulating your DR capabilities, no one wants to discuss the wasted downtime on test and production LPARs with the forced restore back to the old system. This all means you need an understanding of the parmlib members and in effect how to analyse them and the sequence followed in the IPL process of z/OS initialization. This presentation will focus on some of the primary members (in particular LOAD, IEASYS, IEASYM, SYSCAT) and the values you’d expect to see in a successful IPL. You need to think of changes via System symbols, Master Catalog and Parmlib Concatenation. Deciding when and not to allow automated responses. What to use for Production and what for DR.
This presentation is for those that will be or are involved in IPL process and indeed upcoming z/OS and sub-systems (JES, VTAM, TCPIP, RACF) release changes, in particular are responsible for making changes to PARMLIB. Though concentrating on the early members in IPL sequence process, we’ll also discuss some of the extensive other members in PARMLIB and the impact they have on the IPL process.
Mike worked in Germany throughout the 1980s with major software houses specialising in migration projects across multiple mainframe platforms (VM, VSE, MVS, BS1000, BS2000). Projects planning encompassed all aspects of the computer centre - hardware, OS, system software, applications software, personnel, etc. Fitz Software & Co. was formed in Ireland in 1991 and introduces niche z/OS products throughout EMEA. Part of their portfolio, with appropriate z-Series background and skills to this presentation, includes the products SAE (Stand Alone Environment) and ICE (Integrity Controls Environment).
