    BPXF029E return codes for failed ROOT mount when ZFS is not initialized

    Recently, we were supposed to remove/comment the FILESYSTYPE TYPE(HFS) statement in our BPXPRMxx, but instead we made the following mistake: FILESYSTYPE TYPE(ZFS) /* Filesystem type ZFS */ ENTRYPOINT(GFUAINIT) /* Entrypoint for defining ZFS */ /* ...

    BPX SYNTAXCHECK validation of FILESYSTYPE

    As part of the work to migrate systems to z/OS 2.5, I believe many customers are converting HFS files to ZFS, and removing the related HFS definitions from BPXPRMxx. Recently we made a mistake of changing the FILESYSTYPE TYPE(HFS) statement to TYP...

    Improvement to BPX SYNTAXCHECK (z/OS v2r5)

    As requested in Case TS011449479, I suggest that BPX SYNTAXCHECK functionality include validation of path. Test on a 2.5 system where the leading '/' was missing from a mount path: EDIT SYS1.PARMLIB(BPXPRMDG) MOUNT FILESYSTEM('ZOS25.ETC.ZFS')TYPE(...

    Improvements to the ability to ascertain whether zFS filesystems are in migration

    There is currently no way to check whether filesystems are in mirroring complete status but waiting for a swap operation to complete other than using the bpxwmigf command. I'd also like a new reason code issued when the user attempts to manually m...

    USS command bpxwmigf need to force a swap

    I am using bpxwmigf uss command to help to migrate from HFS to ZFS, and also from a ZFS to another (extended) ZFS. It is very useful and reliable. But sometimes it fails to swap to the new ZFS due to message : status.......: swap deferred at 08:31...
