Usage Notes
CMS-formatted volume on which SAPL is being installed. If VOLID is not
specified, SALIPL skips the check but displays the volume serial identifier when
installing SAPL.
NOVERIFY
specifies that SALIPL is to perform no check for a matching volume serial
identifier and the volume serial identifier of the vdev should not be
displayed in response to the SALIPL invocation.
volid
is a 1- to 6-character volume serial identifier. If the volume identified by
vdev does not have a matching volid, SALIPL issues an error message and
no new loader is installed on the vdev. If the volume does have a matching
volid or if volid is specified as an asterisk (*), no volume serial identifier is
displayed in response to the SALIPL invocation.
Comments
specifies up to 320 characters of text information that is to be displayed to the
operator if SAPL is given a console address in the load parm when it is IPLed.
text
is the text to be displayed to the operator.
? causes SALIPL to prompt the operator for exactly 4 lines of data to be read
from the console. Each line is either truncated to 80 characters or padded
with blanks out to 80 characters.
Note: When you enter text on the command line, COMMENTS must be the
last option you specify.
Iplparms
specifies information that is to be passed to the loaded program by SAPL.
text
specifies up to 240 characters of text information that is to be passed on to
the loaded program by SAPL.
Note: When you enter text on the command line, IPLPARMS must be the
last option you specify.
The format of the IPL parameters depends entirely on the options supported
by the loaded program. For a list of IPL parameters supported by CP, see
the z/VM: CP Planning and Administration book.
? causes SALIPL to prompt the operator for exactly 3 lines of data to be read
from the console. Each line is either truncated to 80 characters or padded
with blanks out to 80 characters.
1. No special privilege classes are required to run the SALIPL utility. The
command issuer must, however, have write access to the volume on which
SAPL is to be installed.
SALIPL
2. If you are running SALIPL from an exec, it is suggested that you provide
SALIPL with both the label of the volume on which SAPL is to be installed and
the label of the CMS-formatted minidisk from which the module is to be loaded.
This information is used by SALIPL to ensure that SAL is being installed on the
correct volume and is pointing to the correct minidisk on that volume.
3. If both IPLPARMS and COMMENTS are specified with a single ‘?’ as
parameters, the user is prompted to enter the text for the options in the same
order as they were specified on the command line.
