Re: Can a VM machine ...
Hi, IMHO, it isn't Hercules responsibility to handle the DIAG8CMD OFF beyond a program check. It is the responsibility of the OS issuing the DIAG to Hercules. Why? It is how it would work with real

Re: Can a VM machine ...
From an emulation point of view, the current behavior is reasonable, since the actual action of a diagnose instruction executed in supervisor mode is completely undefined, and could even potentially

Re: Can a VM machine ...
I would expect it to crash. If its not enabled I assume Hercules generates some type of exception which CP does not trap. The original code is old, and in those days we expected people to have some

Re: Can a VM machine ...
I do not know enough to determine the cause of VM crashing... but nothing is wrong in NOT allowing a diag call to hercules unless explicitly enabled in the configuration, or later by a hercules

You might want to look at VM/Pass-Through documentation. There's not much though, and it was an added cost item.

Honestly, I don't know why you want to ship backups between systems.? K.I.S.S. ¡ª Keep backups simple. I personally don't even do backups from the guest OS instances.? On Linux, I just fully dump

Hello Drew, Thanks! I don't believe I can use RSCS for my VM Backup project. It should lead me in the correct direction, though.

Indeed they can. Great stuff! I assume you mean HECnet in particular, not DECnet in general, and are referring to the recent lengthy mailing list thread regarding debugging of some network stack
