Re: SYSIPL macro in DMKSYS

 

Hello Mark,

When I woked for Owens Corning Fiberglas Research Center as it lead systems programmer, I wrote a program to backup the spool space every hour.? We didn't use it often, but it saved some people who purged one or more files.

What?do people think of having VM support going down the list concerning IPL startup? By this, I mean that if WARM fails, failover to CKPT, etc., if allowed by the SYSIPL macro.
You can see another discussion of the sequence here: /g/h390-vm/message/4517

This is kind of late in the game for us, but provides some background on the sequencing and why. See page 12.



When I was a sysprog for a university system, I wrote a program to backup spool files, so if we couldn't recover from WARM/CKPT, we would choose COLD and reload those we were sure of from tape, rather than guessing what we might recover from a FORCE.
