3. Use the SCF STATUS TAPE, DETAIL command to display the current state of the tape drive.

4. If the status of the tape drive is stopped or not ready, start the tape drive and put the tape

drive online.

Verify That the CLIMs Are in the Started State

1. Enter the SCF STATUS CLIM command:

-> STATUS CLIM $ZZCIP.*

2. Verify that the state of all configured CLIMs is STARTED:

CIP Status CLIM \MYSYS.$ZZCIP.*

Name Present State Trace

N1002532 Yes STARTED OFF

N1003741 Yes STARTED 1, 2

N1012542 Yes STARTED 2

Verify That the CIP Providers Are in the Started State

1. Enter the SCF STATUS PROV command:

-> STATUS PROV $ZZCIP.*

2. Verify that the status of all providers is STARTED:

CIP Status PROVIDER

Name Status TPStatus Trace

ZCSAM STARTED Started OFF

PROV1 STARTED Invalid (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15)

Check the Status of the Spooler Collector

Check that the spooler collector is active and not 100 percent full.

At a TACL prompt, start SPOOLCOM and issue a COLLECT, STATUS command. For example:

1> spoolcom $spls; collect, status

COLLECT STATE FLAGS CPU PRI UNIT DATA FILE %FULL

$S ACTIVE 3 , 1 154 4 $OPS0.SPL.DATA 44

Check for Sufficient Swap File Space

You must ensure that you have configured kernel-managed swap files of sufficient size for all your

system and application software processes. The optimal amount of swap space varies, depending

on the configuration of your system. You must be a super-group user (255, n) in order to change

the KMSF configuration by adding, altering, stopping, or deleting swap space. Only one super-group

user at a time can use NSKCOM to change the configuration.

KMSF swap files need to be larger than in G-series RVUs. The best practice is to monitor swap file

usage. See the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) Manual for information on configuring swap

file space.

To check the size of the configured swap files for each processor:

1. At a TACL prompt, start NSKCOM:

$SYSTEM STARTUP 5> nskcom

NSKCOM - T5838H01 BASE (01OCT07) - Apr 15 2008

$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ZSYSCFG

KMS.SWAPFILE = 0 $SYSTEM.ZSYSSWAP.SWAP00
