5. S I eee eee E FDR122 Sey A No in fact it is recommended that you leave the service virtual machine running disconnected If you want to monitor every message sent to the console it is recommended that you set up a secondary console either temporarily or permanently depending on your requirements A If you are migrating Linux systems from smaller to larger volumes and you have minidisks defined using the END keyword you should first modify the user directory entries to specify the exact ending cylinder For example if you are moving from 3390 9s to 3390 27s and you have minidisk statements with 1 END you should update all user directory entries with 1 10010 This way the Linux disks will remain the same size and the remaining space will be available for other minidisks No When this operand is coded on the SIMSWAP or SIMSWAPMON statement FDRPAS checks the z OS VTOC Since z VM volumes do not have a z OS VTOC the simulation will produce error messages A Yes although it will not check as much CHECKTARGET YES checks that the target volumes are offline to z OS and that they do not have any data sets in the z OS VTOC Note that on the z VM systems the target volumes must be online and free For volumes in CPVOLUME format the check of the z OS VTOC does not apply and is bypassed A Yes following the procedure in section 320 6 FDRPAS AND IBM GDPS PPRC HYPERSWAP in the z OS FDRPAS manual There is a rule

8. ed support for CP Owned volumes including Page Swap SYSRES and PARM DISK Recent User Experience All our Linux guests and z VM SSIs have been moved to the new storage on the fly with absolutely minimal impact using FDRPASVM Large Government Organization Questions amp Answers Q What is the advantage of using FDRPASVM A Moving z VM and Linux systems to new DASD typically requires an outage FDRPASVM in conjunction with FDRPAS on z OS allows you to accomplish both of these tasks non disruptively Both Linux SYSTEM volumes and z VM CP owned volumes systems can be migrated to new storage controllers all while the systems remain up As your Linux workload under z VM and the IT requirement for Continuous operations grows maintenance outages are not acceptable Can migrate my z VM Single System Image SSI LPARs Yes both SSI and non SSI systems are supported When migrating an SSI system you must run the FDRPAS MONITOR on all members of the SSI cluster and you must update the PDVOL value in both the IPL parameters and the SAPL record How does FDRPASVM ensure that all disk changes are captured on the target DASD A monitor task is run on 2 VM The main SWAP task is run on z OS The monitor task installs intercepts observing all changes to disk so that all tracks changed while the copy is taking place are communicated to z OS and recopied This process continues until the number of updated tracks are a few
9. hundred or less then the disk updates are frozen for less than a second so that the copy can be completed and the new volume is brought online to all LPARS How does FDRPASVM ensure that my DASD are not being updated by systems on other LPARs Either the DASD must be offline to other systems or a FDRPASVM monitor task must be running on all systems with the DASD online For EMC DASD and IBM DS8800 and DS8700 DASD with the Query Host Access QHA feature installed FDRPAS and FDRPASVM can determine which LPAR s have the volume online Which levels of z VM are supported All levels supported by IBM Currently those are z VM 5 4 6 2 and 6 3 What is involved in installing FDRPASVM Two virtual machines a CMS machine to store the code and a service virtual machine to do the monitoring must be defined Then the code can be installed on the first virtual machine The complete install process takes less than an hour OO oa Helpful Hints Questions amp Answers gt to GOO oo gt o Does FDRPASVM support functions other than migrate Yes migrating a volume is called a SWAP There is also a SWAPDUMP function that creates point in time copies of volumes There are also counterpart simulate functions SIMSWAP and SIMSWAPMON so you can test your process before making the actual moves What states do the volumes have to be in on z VM and on z OS On z VM the source volumes must be online and the targe
10. t volumes must be online and free On z OS the source volumes must be online and the target volumes must be offline Can I drive the process from z VM Yes by using the z OS FTP server It has a special mode site filetyoe JES that allows you to submit jobs from z VM with a PUT and copy the output of the job back with a GET Does FDRPASVM provide any reporting tools Innovation has created a REXX EXEC named CALCDASD that can be run on each z VM system and report on the amount and status of the DASD See pages 2 and 3 for a sample of the CALCDASD reporting that is available How fast can migrate my systems Depending on update activity a 3390 9 can usually be migrated in under three minutes Typically users migrate 20 or more volumes concurrently NNOVAT el DATA PROCESSING EDROOIT EDR PLUG AND SWAP FDRPAS VER 5 4 INNOVATION DATA PROCESSING FDR303 CARD IMAGE SWAP TY PE FULE FDR303 CARD IMAGE MOUNT VOL 54PTST SWAPUNIT 4606 RDR233 C PEUB SERTAL O2E2062818 ACKNOWLEDGES THE SWAP OF VOL 54PTST FDRW66 SWAP OF VOL 54PTST TO UNIT 4606 STARTED ON 3 SYSTEMS TDRiZ2 OPERATION oli Shes FOR 3390 VOLUME ee e eee eee S4PTST EDRI22 CY GTINDERSTONEYOCUME sees a 10 017 PEDRI 2 BYTES READ FROM DASD 73569 929 7664 FDR 2 DASD TRACKS SWAPPED on een 285 4 153 648 IID IIL 22 DAS De RS PS a oo ee et er es ee TO El TAR GEE WAS EXCP E e e nets cae 10 248 CPU ETIME SECONDS ie a 22595 ELAPSED TIMEA MINUTE
