Dear,

We are trying to copy volumes from production mainframe to a zpdt.following  the chapter 12.8 of the redbook https://books.google.lu/books?id=j-tDDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA228&lpg=PA228&dq=OGDEN.out+z/os&source=bl&ots=UKaar0MdZ7&sig=ap3cRLBp8PVyf1q_KvZcNjdjf08&hl=fr&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi9g93KnZzcAhWEIcAKHfijAtcQ6AEILzAB#v=onepage&q=IODF&f=false

Volumes have been created successfully with the cmd alcckd,

We updated the devmap aprof file with addr of volumes from the production mainframe.

After restarting the zpdt we've tried to perform the command vary ADDR,ONLINE for one volumes.Volume is currently located on the addresse 5E51 that is not included on the IODF of the zpdt.

The command failed to vary on the volume.

Could you please let us know if we should update addresses on the IODF files or it should be done automatically ?

Thanks in advance.

David

I think the volumes can be mounted at any convenient address that is defined in the IODF as a 3390, for example: 0300-0318

6.3.2 IODF device numbers 
We must know the device numbers (commonly known as addresses) used by the z/OS
system. (These may be changed after the z/OS system is installed. Changing involves
creating a new IODF data set, new IPLPARM member or members, and IPL of z/OS again.)
Most users of the AD-CD system accept the device numbers in the IODF supplied with the
AD-CD system. These are listed here:
ADDRESS DEVICE Purpose
00C 2540R Card reader. Useful as an emulated device.
00E-00F 1403-N1 Line printers. Useful as an emulated device.
120-15F 3380 Disks. (Control units defined for 120-127)
300-318 3390 3390 disks
400-40F OSA OSA
550-55F 3420 Round tape drives
560-56F 3480 Without COMPACT feature
580-58F 3490 Tape drives
590-59F 3590 Tape drives
600-60F 3990 Disks
700 3270 Terminal. AD-CD systems use as NIP & z/OS master console
701-73F 3277 Terminal. Normally for VTAM (TSO, CICS, etc)
900-910 3277 Terminal. Normally for VTAM (TSO, CICS, etc)
908 3270 Could be used as a z/OS console
909-91F 3277 Terminal. Normally for VTAM (TSO, CICS, etc)
A80-AFF 3390 Disks
E20-E23 CTC 3172s or CTC devices
E40-E43 CTC 3172s or CTC devices
1A00-1AFF 3390
2A00-2AFF 3390
3A00-3AFF 3390

Hi David,

In order to create a new volume for zPDT to use, there are several steps. You have missed the ICKDSF step. Also the device number should be set to be according to your IODF settings.

You can refer to https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSTQBD_12.0.0/com.ibm.zsys.rdt.guide.adcd.doc/topics/createuservol.html for all the steps.

Basically, here is what I did (here I assigned '2020' as the device number because it is defined as a 3390 device):

1. issued linux commands:
alcckd TSTVO1 -d3390-1

2. add the following to the devmap:
device  2020    3390    3390    /home/jamiel/zdt/volumes/TSTVO1

3. start the emulator

4. submit the following JCL:
//JMINIVOL JOB 1,MSGCLASS=X                          
// EXEC PGM=ICKDSF,REGION=40M                        
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                               
//SYSIN DD *                                         
INIT UNIT(2020) NOVALIDATE NVFY VOLID(TSTVO1) PURGE -
VTOC(0,1,05)                                         
/*                                                  

5. reply U to a ICK003D console message for each volume

6. issue console commands:
vary 2020,online
 

create new iodf file with required range.
