zVM Cloud Connector

Failed deploy image

Asked by Rinaldo Akio Uehara

I have installed zVM Cloud Connector and it creates the guest as expected.
My problem is when I try to deploy the image.
In the zvmsdk.log the message is:

[2018-11-30 09:27:02] [INFO] Begin to deploy image on vm LNXS9515
[2018-11-30 09:27:02] [INFO] Start to deploy image rhel to guest LNXS9515
[2018-11-30 09:30:41] [ERROR] Failed to purge reader of 'LNXS9515'. SMUT error: SMUT request failed. RequestData: 'changevm LNXS9515 purgerdr', Results: '{'rs': 12, 'errno': 0, 'strError': u'ULGSMC5900E Specified function does not exist', 'overallRC': 8, 'rc': 900, 'response': [u'(Error) ULTVMU0300E SMAPI API failed: System_RDR_File_Manage, overall rc: 8, rc: 900, rs: 12, errno: 0, cmd: sudo /opt/zthin/bin/smcli System_RDR_File_Manage --addRCheader -T LNXS9515 -k spoolids=all, out: API issued : System_RDR_File_Manage', u'Purge, order, transfer RDR files on target z/VM guest... ', u'Failed', u' Return Code: 900', u' Reason Code: 12', u' Description: ULGSMC5900E Specified function does not exist', u' API issued : System_RDR_File_Manage']}'

Not sure what happened. It seems to be an error in the reader, but the reader and punch are enabled in the zVM Cloud Connector server. The instalation mentioned in topic 5.2.4 about 'The zvmguestconfigure script/service must be installed in the zLinux so it can process the request files transmitted by z/VM Cloud Connector to the reader of the zLinux as a class X file' but I didn't see where I should configure this class X. Is it the zVM Cloud Connector configured as class X? My user direct of the server is as follow:

USER LNXS9511 XXXXXXXX 1G 1G G
   INCLUDE PROFSSI
   IUCV ANY
   OPTION LNKNOPAS APPLMON
   NICDEF 0365 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM VSW1 PORTTYPE ACCESS
   NICDEF 0365 VLAN 333
   MDISK 0150 3390 23372 5007 VL0023 MR RLINUX WLINUX MLINUX
   MDISK 0151 3390 9258 5007 VL0035 MR RLINUX WLINUX MLINUX
   MDISK 0152 9336 143340529 20000000 VL1015 MR RLINUX WLINUX MLINUX

Can you help me? Is there anything that should be configured as well (besides the 'chccwdev -e 000c' and 'chccwdev -e 000d' that I already did?) It was installed in RHEL7.5

Best Regards,

hi , What's the z/VM version you are using? I guess it's z/VM 6.4 but want to double check first
Also, what kind of mention you got z/VM cloud connector code? From pypi or from github directly? which versino you are using? the master branch or v1.0.x or v1.3.x ?

The error means this function System_RDR_File_Manage API can't be found ,it's very likely indicate that the SMAPI you are using is not up to date, http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1VM66120 and https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1VM66168 has some info about how this can be applied ... (note the code is calling this function System_RDR_File_Manage and the APAR contains typo so it's calling System_Reader_File_Manage)

so please help to apply APAR and try again.. thanks
