This group is for all folks running the original IBM VM/370 Release 6 operating system (or later (e.g. VMTCE (Community Edition)) on Hercules. Like the other early IBM operating systems this version has always been in the public domain and so can be freely distributed. The base version as supplied by IBM is lacking in many facilities. IBM solved this by providing additional extension products which were licensed and so are not available. There are however many user enhancements available which can be installed. In addition, in order to get users up and running quickly updated "releases" of VM/370 included the most popular updates are available for download, so novices can start to learn VM without having to delve into the system internals. It is intended that this wiki will provide information on the base release and these updates.
The available versions are here :-

No need on VM. "CP Shutdown" is fine.

Re: VM/370 IPL request
Hello,
How do the above Hercules commands compare to the EXIT command after doing
a CP SHUTDOWN?

You may want to read MAINT MEMO on MAINT 5E5.
You may also want to read Melinda Varian's "What Mother Never Told You About VM Service (1983)."

Re: VM/370 IPL request
I believe your problem is related to how you do (or don't) shut down VM. If the warm start data is not saved, then you will get both a TOD and SPOOL question at the next IPL.

Re: VM/370 IPL request
Marco,
yes, logon to maint, do "VMSETUP CP' and "HRCMODS MEMO" lists the user mods for CP. There is a <modnumber> MEMO file for each mod on that disk.
"VMSETUP CMS" will get the "HRCMODS MEMO" file

Re: VM/370 IPL request
That looks correct.
Just for info log on to maint, do "VMSETUP CP" and there is a MEMO file for each mod on the "F" disk.

Re: VM/370 IPL request
If DMKCPI HRC036DK is the guilty party, then yes it is a modification from the Hercules community, like (I believe) everything on MAINT minidisk 094.

Re: VM/370 IPL request
Would that be, in a world of turkeys, a user mod? That would explain why I have not been able to find any mention of it in the manuals available on bitsaver.

I don't have a definitive answer, but when I put in some of the other Perkins-Elmer modifications I did see it was very tight on addressability.
