Directory
The hardware service representative's virtual machine should also
have access to CMS and to the error recording area of the system
residence volume. An EREP program (CPEREP) runs under CMS thus allowing
editing and printing of all VM/370-recorded machine check and channel
check errors.
This directory entry is included in the VM/370 directory provided
with the starter system.
The virtual machine for software support should have the minimum
configuration necessary to recreate (virtually) problems that occur on
the machine. The ECMODE option must be specified in the directory OPTION control statement for this machine. You should assign privilege
class G to the user of this machine. Also, you should assign privilege
class E if he is to examine real storage addresses, and privilege class
B if he is to allocate devices. Sample Directory Entries
The following sample VM/370 directory entries provide an installation
with some of the entries necessary for operation and updating. The
indentations are for readability and are not required by the directory
program. LINK control statements are used whenever possible to minimize
the number of changes to the VM/370 directory whenever a minidisk extent
is moved. A brief explanation of some of the virtual machine user ids
follows.
THE SYSTEM OPERATOR'S VIRTUAL MACHINE (OPERATOR) The userid for this directory entry must be the same as the userid on
the SYSOPER operand of the SYSOPR system generation macro. The USER control statement gives the operator all command privilege classes
except class F. Actually, if other virtual machines are defined with
command privilege classes appropriate for updating VM/370, the
operator's virtual machine only needs class A command privileges. The MDISK control statement defines the 191 minidisk which contains CMS files, EXEC procedures, and service programs to update VM/370.

A VIRTUAL MACHINE TO RECEIVE SYSTEM DUMPS (OPERATNS) The userid for the following directory entry is the userid that was
specified on the SYSDUMP operand of the SYSOPR macro when the V"/310 system was generated. All abnormal termination dumps are sent to this
virtual machine. This user normally is given command privilege classes
A, B, C, and E. If the directory entry contains all of the disks
normally attached to the system, described as full-volume minidisks, the
user can rewrite the V"/310 directory by using the DIRECT command. The
operations group can also examine any disk while it is attached to the
system, when these disks are defined as full-volume minidisks.

This can be accomplished in the above
examples by adding the last 8 control statements of the directory entry
for OPERATNS to the directory entry for OPERATOR. The OPERATOR virtual
machine can then perform all the system functions required to operate
the system.
In addition to the virtual machines discussed up to this point, there
are those virtual machines whose function is to: • Support and update the VM/310 system • Test new releases of the system before placing them into production
status • Provide the hardware service representative with the ability to run
diagnostics and extract recorded error data • Provide other users with a remote file spooling capability
A VIRTUAL MACHINE FOR UPDATING AND SUPPORTING VM/310 (VMSYS) The following directory entry defines a virtual machine (VMSYS) that can
support and update the V"/310 system. The 194 minidisk contains
alterations or fixes to CP; these alterations and fixes are not applied
until they have been thoroughly tested and considered stable. The 394
minidisk contains the distributed source files. The VMSIS virtual 1A6 IBM V"/310 Planning and System Generation Guide
