Symptoms

The DLMHOST STC output is being directed exclusively to the z/OS system log.

Cause

Older versions of the DLMHOST started task JCL in the samplib provided by Dell Technologies contained a parm value for console name.  That parm was EOL and can cause unpredictable results for the DLMHOST log output.

Resolution

Use only the parms specified for DLMHOST in the DLm z/OS Utilities / Command Processors Guide.
 
  • COL 1-10 VTE NODENAME                
  • COL 12-15 COMMAND DEVICE (CMDDEV)    
  • COL 17-20 LOG DEVICE (LOGDEV)        
  • ** COL 22-29 CONSOLE NAME (CONSNAME)    <-- This is EOL.  Do not use this parm for DLMHOST
     
  • example:  
    VTLNODE1   07EF 07FF TAPECON1           
    VTLNODE2   08EF 08FF TAPECON2           
    VTLNODE3   01FE 01FF TAPECON3           
    VTLNODE4   06FE 06FF TAPECON4        
Parms in red text may misdirect DLm VTE log output.  Only use the parms / columns defined in the DLm z/OS Utilities / Command Processors Guide.
