Re: VM/370 Hercules Optimisation


 

Hello!
I said I knew it was out there, I did not miss one. If nothing I might
have definitely did so, it is because I did not download it
before.now. I just did. Can you describe completely the steps to do
all of that?

And please use simple language. I believe there are people following
our list who're just starting out on this, and do indeed need to know
stuff like this.

And all of this will become clear to the one also named Dave, who is
allowing a group of workers from Asia to run his shop/museum.

Gregg,
You missed one!



and there is an additional optional tape



You need to BUNZIP it ad then you can load the first file which is ABSTRACT ABSTRACT

I think you will find file 39 is stuff you need.
You need to create a user CPWATCH and load the file to its disk...

Hello!
So its been added to the basic system regarding the 6 Pack series? I know
there's a Waterloo tape some place for the basic system and of course the
dreaded additional pack tape that we know how to install but I confess I do
not know how.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls /media/memory0/h390/*.aws.*
/media/memory0/h390/base-source.aws.bz2
/media/memory0/h390/CPR6L0.ddr.aws.bz2
/media/memory0/h390/ptf-616.aws.bz2
/media/memory0/h390/starter-3330.aws.bz2
/media/memory0/h390/VMREL6.ddr.aws.bz2

For example up there is the base-source.aws.bz2 one, and then the CP tape
also packaged as an AWS one and compressed using Bzip2 and that PTF tape,
and the crazy one is marked starter-3330.aws.bz2. That's the one that's got
me a trifle peeved.

I understand making use of the two named as the system ones, as they were
restored a while back, I have kept complete decks or rather drive images.

So are the Waterloo things on those two ones, I've not restored? And how
would I go about bringing the starter one into the Bob set I use.
Of course I could go ahead and bring up next time the current but not Beta
six pack.

Its an add-on so it is only in the "n--packs" The source is on the Waterloo
tape. It may need tweaking as it was originally written on sepp/bsepp.

Hello!
It does? Then why did I get this from a DIAL CPWATCH command string
on the original one, DIAL CPWATCH DMKDIA045E CPWATCH NOT
LOGGED ON
IND from the console not the 3270 shows what it is doing, CPWATCH
from the same place does not.

Does this mean it's a missing entry on the original Bob kit? This
will perfectly be obvious to everyone except the individual reading
this out loud to a crowd of Yeti. (Including one who smokes a brand
of smoking tobacco that's older than most of us.)

Folks



CPWATCH reports paging rate.

Adrian,

In my experience, I doubt you are doing all that much paging.
First off, the
VM/370 CP IND command doesn't show paging stats like it did in later
releases, so it is difficult to know how much you are paging.

If you are a single user VM/370 system, running 16MB real, even if
you had
a 16MB user virtual machine, you would have to go some to cause much
paging beyond a very light amount. If you had several 16MB user
machines running simultaneously with large active working sets, then
maybe you could get the paging rate up to 5-10 pages per second.
With Hercules caching, it just isn't a problem.

Regards,
Bob
