  1. System Configuration Customization, Initialization & Administration

  2. Configuration – System Initialization • The system operator supplies parameters instructing the system to load : The bootstrap code on the IPL volume is loaded into storage at address 0 and control passed to it The bootstrap the reads the IPLTEXT program IEAIPL00 which is given control and the complex task of loading the system starts

  3. Configuration - Initial Program Load (IPL)

  4. Configuration - Hardware Management Console (HMC) – Support Element (SE)

  5. Configuration - Provide device address of SYSRES and SYS1.IPLPARM 1000 0CE3W1

  8. z/OS System Definitions z/OS is highly configurable to best serve a customers workload System definitions (system parameters) are read during z/OS initialization The values of many system parameters can be changed dynamically Default values exist for the majority of system parameters More matured systems change the defaults as their workloads change It is important to develop a back out plan for any system definition change

  10. Configuration - systems are operational & connected to CF (Coupling Facility)

  11. Configuration - IEAIPL00 • IEAIPL00 prepares the system by clearing central storage to zeroes then defines storage areas for the master scheduler • SYS1.NUCLEUS is located and a series of modules loaded which construct the normal environment of control blocks and subsystems • The first part of the Nucleus Initialization Program is then loaded

  12. Hdw IPL IRIMs Nucleus Initialization Program (NIP) Test Block Inst (clean Stor) SCPINFO Get Loadparm Set autostore status on Find LOADxx Find IODF Load Nucleus Build UCBs Load Prefix Reg IRIMs Complete System Parameters Master Catalog No NIP Console; use HMC Use NIP Console Device Pathing to all online Non-DASD Device Pathing to offline tapes • Load from IPL DASD Device • System reset • Build IPL Read CCW • Enable subchannel for IPL Device • Seek Cyl 0, Head 0, Rec 1 (DASD) • Read R1, R2, R4 (Hardware reads R1) • Hardware IPL complete Device Mapping - UCWs to UCBs IPL Flow ( 1 of 4)

  18. Configuration - SYS1.IPLPARM LOADxx member startupparameters

  19. Configuration – System Log (Trail of IEE252I messages) • IEE252IMEMBERmember FOUNDINparmdsname • Explanation: This is an informational message that appears only in the hardcopy log when member member is found in parmlib dataset parmdsname • In the message text: • memberis the parmlib member name that is being processed. • parmdsnameis the parmlib data set where membermember is located. • SystemAction: • The system continues processing. • SystemProgrammerResponse: • Check the hardcopy to see if all the members in parmlib specified in LOADxx • or in operator input are being used correctly and are found in the correct parmlib data set. • Source: Master scheduler, IPL/NIP

  20. Configuration – System Initialization (IEE252I messages)

  21. Configuration - Nucleus Initialization Program (NIP) • Nucleus Initialization Program sets up system storage areas SQA PLPA FLPA MLPA CSA Private - User Region then NIP starts the master scheduler

  22. Storage Map

  23. Configuration - Master scheduler • The master address space starts all the other required address space and initializes the subsystems • Once JES is ready jobs can be started and VTAM and TSO will be started next. • The system is now available to do work

  24. Configuration – Master JCL for Master Scheduler

  25. Configuration – Display IPLINFO and system PARMLIB concatenation

  26. Configuration – Routine to easily find system parm and proc members

  27. Configuration - View the z/OS system PARMLIB concatenation

  28. Configuration - SYSPARM IEASYSxx values in PARMLIB

  29. Configuration - IEASYS00 is read first. IEASYS00 has few parameters

  30. Configuration - IEASYSLV is read 2nd. IEASYSLV has more parameters

  31. Configuration - IEASYSSV is read 3rd. Duplicate parm values are overridden

  32. Configuration - IEASYSVN the last member read has only one parm statement

  33. Configuration - z/OS System Libraries • These are the most important system libraries SYS1.LINKLIB prime system software library • LNKLST concatenation SYS1.LPALIB system subroutines SYS1.NUCLEUS basic supervisor modules SYS1.PROCLIB system procedure JCL • PROCLIB concatenation SYS1.PARMLIB control parameters • PARMLIB concatenation

  34. System search order for programs • Programs (load modules) must be in central storage and therefore in the virtual storage of the address space before they can run • System has a defined search order for a newly requested program

  35. Search order for programs • JCL STEPLIB if present • JCL JOBLIB if present and no STEPLIB • Link Pack Area (LPA) • Dynamic LPA modules • Fixed LPA • Modified LPA • Pageable LPA • Linklist

  36. SYS1.LPALIB • The Link Pack Area (LPA) is built at IPL time from the modules defined in the LPALSTxx member of parmlib. • SYS1.LPALIB is always the first library used unless overridden by a SYSLIB statement • Modules are loaded into common storage at IPL time and so are available to all address spaces

  37. SYS1.LPALIB • Fixed LPA comprises those modules defined in IEAFIXxx that are fixed in central storage • Pageable LPA comprises most other modules whose pages are eligible to be stolen • Modified LPA has modules which are temporary replacements for PLPA modules and is searched first.

  38. Configuration – JES JOB JCL Procedure Library JES2 JCL Procedure Librares are searched for JOB and STC PROCs //PROC00 DD DSN=SYS1.PROCLIB,DISP=SHR // DD DSN=SYS3.PROD.PROCLIB,DISP=SHR //PROC01 DD DSN=SYS1.PROC2,DISP=SHR ... //PROCnn DD DSN=SYS1.LASTPROC,DISP=SHR ... JOB JCL can have personal JCL Procedure Libraries search first //MYJOB JOB //MYLIBS JCLLIB ORDER=(MY.PROCLIB.JCL,SECOND.PROCLIB.JCL) //S1 EXEC PROC=MYPROC1 ...

  39. Configuration - System Symbols • System symbols allow the use of a shared parmlib by two or more systems • Each symbol has a name which can be used in various places and then substituted at IPL time • Major uses are indirect cataloging and substituting system specific datasets such as the page data sets
