3 Preparing for Compatible PAV Operations
System Requirements
Compatible PAV operations involve the volumes on the XP24000/XP20000 disk arrays and require
the following licensed versions:
•
Compatible PAV.
•
Workload Manager (WLM).
•
XP Compatible Hyper PAV. (This license is not required if only Compatible PAV operations
are needed.)
The system requirements for Compatible PAV are as follows:
•
Host software:
For static Compatible PAV:
OS/390 V1R3 (DFSMS/DSF 1.3) with Program Temporary Fix (PTF) or later
◦
VM/ESA 2.4.0 or later
◦ For dynamic Compatible PAV:
OS/390 V2R7 (DFSMS/DSF 1.5) with PTF or later
z/VM5.2 with PTF or later
◦ For XP Compatible Hyper PAV:
z/OS 1.8 or later
z/OS 1.6 with PTF or later
z/VM5.3 or later
◦ PTFs: All customers planning the installation of the Compatible PAV feature on a storage
system are encouraged to obtain the Preventive Service Planning (PSP Bucket) document
from IBM for the 2105 or 2107 device. The title of this PSP document is 2105MVSESA,
and this IBM document can be obtained through IBMLINK.
The PSP document identifies all current IBM PTF items applicable for z/OS and OS/390
support of the 2105 or 2107 device type. The storage system does not have any specific
PTF requirements beyond what is required by the z/OS and OS/390 operating system
to provide minimum support for the 2105 or 2107 device type.
When you use z/VM, it is assumed that you are using z/OS as a guest OS on z/VM.
For further information on the z/OS and OS/390 PAV host software function, see the following
and other IBM documents:
◦ z/OS DFSMS Software Support for IBM Enterprise Storage Server (SC26-7399-00)
◦ IBM Enterprise Storage Server Performance Monitoring and Tuning (SG24-5656)
◦ System/390 Command Reference 2105 Models E10, E20, F10, F20 (SC26-7298)
◦ OS/390 MVS Planning: Workload Management (GC28-1761)
•
Storage systems: The emulation type for a LCU image which controls Compatible PAV devices
must be 2105 or 2107 (see
“Changing the Controller Emulation Type” (page 19) ).
