Hi All

I am new to RDz UT.

I have completed the following steps regarding the installation of RDz UT environment:

1. Installed Linux. (openSUSE 11.0)
2. Installed x3270
3. Created group ibmsys and userid ibmsys1 in Linux
4. Installed the 1090 package.
5. Customized the several Linux files (sysctl.conf, /etc/profile.local, /etc/profile, .bashrc) as per instructions in the manual.
6. Activated the 1090 token.
7. Completed the AD CD z/OS installation on the recently installed Linux and 1090 package.

However, after giving the awsstart command and launching the x3270 emulator, I get the following error message on the x3270 emulator screen:

EA924D VOLUME SBSYS1 NEEDED FOR PAGE DATA SET WAS MOUNTED: NEW PLPA DATA SET MAY BE REQUESTED; REPLY ‘GO’ OR ‘IGNORE’

Now I checked the status of the SBSYS1 volume using the awsstat command which gave me the following result:
ibmsys1@rc-mainframe:/usr/z1090/bin> awsstat a82
Config file: /usr/z1090/bin/aprof12, IOCDS: None, 3270port: 3270
DvNbr S/Ch --Mgr--- Actv Busy PID -------------------Device Information-------------------
0A82 7 AWSCKD Yes No 4064 Cyl-174, Head-0 /z/SBSYS1

Judging by the above results, the SBSYS1 volume appears to have been mounted correctly. Therefore, could you please help in pointing out what could be wrong here?

I’d be really grateful for your help.

Juzer

In fact the error that I'm receiving is this:

EA924D VOLUME SBSYS1 NEEDED FOR PAGE DATA SET WAS NOT MOUNTED: NEW PLPA DATA SET MAY BE REQUESTED; REPLY ‘GO’ OR ‘IGNORE’

Here's the complete text from the x3270 screen:

IEA247I USING IEASYSCS FOR z/OS 01.11.00 HBB7760
ISG313I SYSTEM IS INITIALIZING IN GRS NONE MODE. RING OR STAR CONFIGURATION
KEYWORDS IN GRSCNF00 ARE IGNORED.
IEA924D VOLUME SBSYS1 NEEDED FOR PAGE DATA SET WAS NOT MOUNTED;
NEW PLPA DATA SET MAY BE REQUESTED; REPLY 'GO' OR 'IGNORE'

Sounds like one of two problems. Either your SBSYS1 volume is corrupted or your devmap specifies your SBSYS1 volume incorrectly.

The problem has been solved :)

The user ibmsys1 didn't have the ownership of the SBSYS1 volume and hence it was getting mounted in read-only mode. Once I changed the ownership of the volume, everything started working just fine.

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi Juzer,

Have you tried replying "IGNORE", to see what happens.

Did you request CLPA when you IPLed? If not you may want to try that.

Hi Domingo

I tried using the IGNORE option but it gives the following message:

REPLY 'DSN=DSNAME' OR 'IGNORE'

I again replied with IGNORE. Then it gave me the following message:

INSUFFICIENT PAGING RESOURCES, IPL TERMINATED

And if you could also guide me how request when IPLing? That would be great

Thanks
