Important news

November 18, 2008 z/VSE 4.2.0:
During Fast Service Upgrade to z/VSE 4.2.0 VSE/POWER may terminate with message 1Q000 instead of intended message 1Q05I PAGEABLE AREA [nnnK] TOO SMALL... . This will happen when SIZE of VSE/POWER partition taken from previous system is too small and VSE/POWER can not load all of its phases.

If this this happens during step 2 of FSU, you should restart the old system and increase the VSE/POWER partition SIZE in FSU dialogue by specifying "OWN POWER PARAMETERS......... 1 (YES)" and then providing a larger SIZE (at least 1200K). After FSU or installation make sure that your ALLOC.PROC specifies SIZE=1400K (or more) for the VSE/POWER partition. For details of VSE/POWER partition usage see here. To correct message 1Q000 install DY46901.
July 21, 2006 Under certain circumstances VSE/POWER may fail:
z/VSE 3.1 and VSE/ESA 2.7 customers having installed UD53000 or UD530011 respectively UD52999 or UD53009 should install UD53093 (DY46608) respectively UD53039 (DY46552) to avoid abnormal VSE/POWER termination. Also for z/VSE 3.1 UD53040 (DY46551) is recommended to solve a problem with POFFLOAD using the new Journal function.
July 21, 2006 z/VSE V3.1.2:
z/VSE V3.1.2 is now available. It contains hardware support and functional enhancements first introduced in z/VSE V3.1.1. z/VSE V3.1.2 contains accumulated service since the z/VSE V3.1 GA in March 2005. 

Note: Special instructions have been provided that describe detailed procedures for a) an FSU, or b) a new install of z/VSE V3.1.2.  It is essential that users follow correct procedures to make the process as smooth as possible and to avoid any possible loss of existing definitions.
 
November 25, 2005 z/VSE V3.1.1:
z/VSE V3.1.1 is now available. It contains hardware support for the IBM z9-109, TS1120 Tape Drive, IBM 3953 Tape System and 3584 Tape Library, as well as FCP/SCSI qualification of DS6000 and DS8000 disks. In addition, z/VSE V3.1.1 contains significant enhancements to the VSE Basic Security Manager. Several VSE/POWER enhancements are included as well.  z/VSE V3.1.1 contains accumulated service since z/VSE V3.1 GA in March 2005. For more  information, please see the z/VSE V3.1.1 Release Guide.
 
May 4, 2005 VSE/POWER POFFLOAD Performance Problems
Caused by 'incompatibility' between VSE/POWER tape format and new tape drives:
  • 3490F empties cache for FSF used by POFFLOAD LOAD
    Install DY46164/DY46245 for VSE/ESA 2.7/2.6
  • 3590 syncronizes cache with tape for each WTM
    Install microcode FC0520 on A60 controller + VSE/AF APAR DY45817 + AR cmd TAPE WTM=NOSYNC
    Unfortunately controller A50 is to small to install FC0520

 

March 4, 2005 FSU from VSE/ESA 2.6 or 2.7 to z/VSE V3.1
Please read the important FSU information (PDF, 13 KB) befor performing an Fast Service Upgrade to z/VSE V3.1.
