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 :-

Re: DDR to different VOLSER
Daniel, By the way, you should be able to IPL CMS by issuing IPL 190 instead.? That should get you going so you can edit DMKSNT and build CP. Bob

Re: DDR to different VOLSER
Daniel, On your second level system, you will need to update DMKSNT ASSEMBLE, and change all of the volume references within, then build a CP nucleus and re-ipl. Regards, Bob

Re: DDR to different VOLSER
Now I know how to relabel a volume thanks to the help of the group. My last hurdle is that after IPL, the MAINT account cannot find CMS.. Prior to IPL, I relabeled the DASD,? updated the directory

Thanks.? This was really helpful. I did have to leave out spooling the console to use the control statement deck rather than the console.

Re: DDR to different VOLSER
