Common Problems and Solutions
While we have tried to eliminate problems before they can cause you difficulty, you may
encounter a problem or error message during your use of the starter system. This section
describes some common error messages and how to resolve them. If your problem is not
listed here, use the process described in "How to Report Problems With the Starter
System" on page 36 to report the problem to Novell.
DDR reports CMS as a invalid operand.
This error is caused by attempting to use the original IBM version of DDR instead of the
version supplied in the CMSDDR package.
The solution to this problem is to ensure that the minidisk containing the CMSDDR
package (usually NOVSTART 19F) is accessed at a filemode prior to S (the location of
the default IBM DDR module).
The COUPLE command reports an error in the PROFILE
EXEC on IPL
This error is normally caused by specifying a VSWITCH or guest LAN in PROFILE
EXEC or in the CP directory entry that does not exist or to which you do not have
permission to connect.
To solve this problem:
SET LAN USERLAN GRANT NOVSTART

SET VSWITCH USERSW GRANT NOVSTART

Installing the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Starter System for System z
1. Verify that you have spelled the VSWITCH or guest LAN name correctly in
NETWORK PARMS on NOVSTART 191.
2. Grant the guest permission to COUPLE to the guest LAN or VSWITCH using the
SET LAN or SET VSWITCH commands. An example of the SET LAN command
might appear similar to:
An example fo the SET VSWITCH command might appear similar to:
SET LAN And SET VSWITCH Are Temporary
The effects of SET LAN and SET VSWITCH are not permanent across IPL of
the z/VM hipervisor. To make these changes permanent, you need to update
SYSTEM CONFIG. Consult the z/VM documentation on how to make this
change.
