VM2000 V12.0 (en)

&pagelevel(5)&pagelevel

This example, which consists of several parts, illustrates the different types of device assignment and release and how the usage mode changs when VM2000 and a guest system are used together.

Guest system operations are marked with “***”. Asynchronous messages are marked with %.

Explicit device assignment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)	The VM2000 administrator creates a VM.
(2)	The VM2000 administrator explicitly assigns the KVP device pair and the devices of the home pubset to VM2. These devices are required by VM2 for startup and thus cannot be assigned implicitly.
(3)	VM2 is started.
(4)	The guest system on the VM2 has reached `SYSTEM READY`.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(5)	The assignment set `SYS2IMPL` is created.
(6)	The VM2000 administrator assigns VM2 the `ASSIGN-BY-GUEST` privilege for the devices in assignment set `SYS2IMPL`. This enables the guest system operator to assign free devices to the VM implicitly (and also to release them again). This privilege could also have been assigned to the VM with `/CREATE-VM` provided the assignment set `SYS2IMPL` already exists at this time.
(7)	The VM2000 administrator wants to make some devices available to VM2 and uses the VM2000 administrator command to obtain information about the state of the devices first.
(8)	All the relevant devices are free. Disk device `990F` has already been assigned explicitly (`VM-ADMIN`) to the monitor VM for shared use with other VMs and therefore has the usage mode `SH(D)` (shared with direct I/O).
(9)	Implicit device assignment is to be permitted for the devices. Therefore, the VM2000 administrator assigns the `ASSIGN-BY-GUEST` attribute to the relevant devices and assigns them to the assignment set `SYS2IMPL`.
(10)	Now, all the devices concerned have the `ASSIGN-BY-GUEST` attribute and are assigned to assignment set `SYS2IMPL`.
(11)	The information output for the assignment set shows the related summary.
(12)	The guest system operator uses the BS2000 command `/ATTACH-DEVICE` to attach the disk and communication devices. These devices are assigned to VM2 implicitly.
(13)	Disks are detected in the guest system on the attached devices.
(14)	The VM and VM2000 administrators are notified about the implicit device assignment to VM2 by asynchronous messages.
(15)	The VM2000 administrator obtains detailed information on the state of the devices. If `INFORMATION=*ALL` is specified for a device which is assigned to multiple VMs for shared use, all of the VMs are output.
(16)	Devices which are not disk devices or CRD devices are assigned to the usage mode `EXCLUSIVE` in the event of implicit device assignment.
(17)	Disk device `990F` is assigned to the monitor VM explicitly and to VM2 implicitly. The usage mode is therefore `SH(I)` (shared with indirect I/O).
(18)	In the case of implicit device assignment, the disk devices are assigned in the usage mode `SHARED`. Input/output takes place by means of direct I/O because the devices are initially assigned to only one VM.
(19)	This command provides a VM administrator with information on his or her VM.
(20)	The type of device assignment (`BY VM-ADMIN`, `BY GUEST`) and the usage mode (`EXCL`, `SHARED`) are displayed for VM2.
(21)	The `ASSIGN-BY-GUEST` privilege for the VM and the assignment set assigned are displayed.
(22)	In the guest system, pubset `4IVL` is imported in exclusive access mode. The pubset consists of the disk devices `FC1C` and `FC1D.`
(23)	The guest system operator obtains information on the VM2000 status of the implicitly assigned disk devices of his or her guest system.
(24)	The output columns `VM-ASSIGN` and `VM-USAGE` also inform the guest system operator about the type of assignment and usage.
(25)	For the disk devices `FC1C` and `FC1D`, the exclusive importing of the pubset has changed the usage mode from `SHARED` to `EXCLUSIVE`.

(26)	The VM2000 administrator obtains detailed information on the state of the devices assigned to VM2.
(27)	For the disk devices, the exclusive importing of the pubset has changed the usage mode from `SHARED` to `EXCLUSIVE`, see (25).
(28)	Nevertheless, the VM2000 administrator wants to set the usage mode `SHARED` for these disk devices again.
(29)	In spite of the exclusive use of the pubset, `SHARED` usage is set again in the guest system.

(34)	The VM2000 administrator assigns the pubset devices explicitly and exclusively to VM2.
(35)	The output of `/SHOW-VM-DEVICE-STATUS` indicates this.
(36)	The devices are attached in the guest system.
(37)	The VM2000 administrator cannot remove the devices because they are still attached in the guest system.
(38)	By means of the `FORCE=NO(WAIT-FOR-UNASSIGN=YES)` operand, the VM2000 administrator changes explicit assignment to implicit assignment (`FORCE=*YES` should only be used in exceptional cases).
(39)	The output of `/SHOW-VM-DEVICE-STATUS` indicates that the devices are now assigned implicitly to the VM. At the same time, the usage mode has also changed (`SH(D)`), see also (18).
(40)	The devices are detached in the guest system and consequently released implicitly.
