Program Event Recording (PER) New: Problem determination is greatly extended by the new CP command PER. 3081 Processor Note: VM/SP Release 3 will support AP /MP and 3081 processor Unit Model D16 in the first quarter of 1984. Virtual Machine Options Changed: "Section 1. General Considerations" has undergone a minor structural change so that all Virtual Machine Options are now under one heading. 3088 Multi-system Channel Communication Unit New: The 3088 Multi-system Channel Communication Unit interconnects mUltiple systems. It is fully compatible with existing channel-to-channel adapters when attached to a blocked mUltiplexer channel, Generic Tenns New: This publication now uses the generic terms 'DOS', 'OS', 'VSE,' 'POWER,' 'VSE/POWER,' and 'OS/VS' throughout the book. (See the Preface for a complete listing.) Miscellaneous Changed: Technical and editorial changes have been made throughout this publication to improve the accuracy, clarity and usability. Give special attention to the old examples that have been updated and the new examples that are included in this edition. Summary of Changes to GC19-6212-1 for VM/SP Release 2 Device Support Facility New: The Device Support Facility (program number 5747-DSl) replaces the service routines IBCDADDI, SURFANAL and INITDISK.' CP Serviceability New: Problem determination capability is provided to service personnel and system programmers with the Trace Table Recording Facility. The facility uses the CP command CPTRAP. A CMS utility program, TRAPRED, is included as part of the CPTRAP facility. Summary of Changes iii 3081 Processor Note: VM/SP Release 2 will support AP /MP and 3081 Processor Unit Model D16 in the first quarter 1983. CP Dial Support for Remote 3270 Tenninal Changed: VM/SP Release 2 allows remote 3270 terminals to use the CP DIAL command to be logically connected to a multi-access operating system. Miscellaneous Changed: Various minor technical and editorial changes have been made throughout this publication to promote accuracy, clarity, and usability. Summary of Changes for GC19-6212-0 as Updated by GN25-0820 for VM/SP Service Level 101 3081 Processor Support New: VM/SP now supports the new IBM 3081 processor complex. Each 3081 processor complex includes a 3081 processor and 3082 processor controller. The monitoring and service support facility (MSSF) is an integral part of the processor controller. The support provided allows VM/SP to communicate with the MSSF to obtain system information for a virtual machine using the SCPINFO command and real machine support to physically reconfigure the system using VARY commands. VM/SP also uses the new 3081 hardware instruction TEST BLOCK to validate real storage at system load and initialization. For more information about these topics, see "Section 1. General Considerations. " Elimination of One-Megabyte Segments Changed: 3081 processors do not permit the use of one-megabyte segments. See "Section 1. General Considerations" for details. New: The IBM 4341 Model Group 2 offers intermediate system users expanded function and capacity. The 4341-2 features enhanced block multiplexer channel capability and increased data transfer rate. An optional Extended Control Program Support Expansion feature allows concurrent operation of ECPS:MVS and ECPS:Vlvi/370. 3033 Model Group S New: The IBM 3033 Model Group S processor complex offers large system installations a unique growth advantage within the 3033 processor family. The 3033-S uniprocessor features an increased instruction execution rate for additional processing capability, six channels, and four or eight megabytes of storage. Miscellaneous Changed: Various minor technical and editorial changes.have been made throughout this publication. iv VM/SP Operating Systems in a Virtual Machine Preface This publication is for people who run guest operating systems under the VM/SP I control program, for example, VSE/ AF, VS1/BPE, MVS/SP and VM/SP itself.

However, the reader should have a basic understanding of I BM data processing. VM/370 (Virtual Machine Facility/370) is a system control program (SCP) that tailors the resources and capabilities of a single System/370 computer to provide concurrent users their one unique (virtual) machine. VM/370 consists of a Control Program (CP), which manages the real computer, a Conversational Monitor System (CMS), which is a general-purpose conversational time-sharing system that executes in a virtual machine, a Remote Spooling Communications Subsystem (RSCS), which spools files to and from geographically remote locations, and a Interactive Problem Control System (I PCS), which provides problem analysis and management faci I ities. The first section of the publication is an introduction; it describes what VM/370 can do. The second, third, fourth, and fifth sections describe the Control Program, Conversational Monitor System, Remote Spooling Communications Subsystem, and Interactive Problem Control System respectively. The appendixes include information about VM/370 publication-to-audience relationship and VM/370-related publications for CMS users. , This publication is a prerequisite for the VM/370 system library. --...- --- ---.-- ------- ------ --..- --------- -~-y- Page of GC20-1800-9 As Updated Aug 1, 1979 by TNL GN25-0U89 ~b Edition (Karch 1919) This edition (GC20-1800-~ together with Technical Newsletter GN25-0489. dated August 1, 1919, applies to Release 6 PLC 4 (Program Level Change) of IBM Virtual Machine Facility/310 and to all subsequent releases until otherwise indicated in new editions or Technical Newsletters.
