This group is for all folks running the original IBM VM/370 Release 6 operating system (or later (e.g. VMTCE (Community Edition)) on Hercules. Like the other early IBM operating systems this version has always been in the public domain and so can be freely distributed. The base version as supplied by IBM is lacking in many facilities. IBM solved this by providing additional extension products which were licensed and so are not available. There are however many user enhancements available which can be installed. In addition, in order to get users up and running quickly updated "releases" of VM/370 included the most popular updates are available for download, so novices can start to learn VM without having to delve into the system internals. It is intended that this wiki will provide information on the base release and these updates.
The available versions are here :-

OSA/SF up and running, was Re: [h390-vm] VM/ESA ADCD package setup?
Yes, I extrapolated from the installation procedure for dirmaint to get that far. And, as luck would have it, I was able to get it all done today. It turns out that the release of OSA/SF for VM/ESA is

Re: VM/ESA ADCD package setup?
I believe that to enable a product it needs to be added to the SYSTEM CONFIG file on the CF1 disk. Look at the entries for those currently ¡°installed¡±. which can be displayed by a Q PRODUCT. The

Re: VM/ESA ADCD package setup?
Do you also have the "OSA Planning" book? The one I have from approximately that era is document number GC23-3870-07, ioa1pg09.boo. I'm not sure if it fills in the gaps, but it looks like it has a

Re: VM/ESA ADCD package setup?
That makes sense. I have a lot of VM/ESA documentation, and in there I found the OSA/SF User's Guide, but nothing that covers its installation. There's a big gap between where I am and where I want to

Dave, In the case of ADCD¡¯s, often times a product is ¡°installed¡± (loaded) but not configured. If you can find a Program Directory or Installation Guide, you should be able to get it running.

Hi Jim, I'm trying to enable OSA/SF. It's in the directory, and its minidisks are present. My concern is that the process for getting it running may be specific to the ADCD distribution. I say this

Hey folks. I want to enable/configure/etc a software package that shipped as part of the VM/ESA 2.4 ADCD distribution. I've not been able to find any references on how to do this. Is it just a matter

Re: Hercules and VM/ESA Routing
I ask just because the z/OS V2.5 announcement letter (https://www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/US-ENUS221-260-CA/name/US-ENUS221-260-CA.PDF) back in 2021 said this: "Withdrawal of support for VTAM? Link

Re: Hercules and VM/ESA Routing
Seconded. I wound up going this route myself, and after figuring out how to do it (I wound up using a bridge device and running it to the Ethernet and tap devices), it works really well. -- Jay

Re: Hercules and VM/ESA Routing
Start using LCS. It is much easier, because you can bridge tap0 and not worry about routing.
