Z/OS: find the processor information form z/os

Hi, I am new to z/os, i need to find the processor information on z/os unix shell.i'hv tried cat proc/cpuinfo , but it seems that this command
is not supported on Z/OS.

Hi, welcome to LQ!

And no, it wouldn't, z/OS is not Unix/Linux or anything
the like. It's quite different from Unix (-like) operating
systems, but you can quite happily run Linux under z/VM.

To find info about z/OS, go to the IBM web-site and search
for manuals/documentation ...

Cheers,
Tink

P.S.: Moving this thread to General since it's not a linux
question (at all). And since z/OS != Unix I've fixed the
thread title, too.

"Z/OS?" Bah. Humbug...

Coincidence!! I've just been reading about all those old mainframe OS's because of this thread:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ack390-713930/

I was thinking of trying them in the Hercules emulator, but decided I'd be biting off more than I could chew.

Wanna bet ?. Have a read of this.
USS on z/OS has UNIX branding - and in fact you can't IPL (boot) z/OS without USS these days. Personally I don't like it, but that has zero influence on anything.

As to the initial question - I'll never bothered to look, but I'll bet that isn't a base Unix (pseudo) filesystem. What happens when you try that on BSD systems for example.
As Tink suggested, there is also a separate 100% Linux offering on zSeries as well - try your command there if you have it.

z/OS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

"ZOS" redirects here. For the Canadian television miniseries, see ZOS: Zone of Separation.

z/OS is a 64-bit operating system for mainframe computers, created by IBM. It is the successor to OS/390, which in turn followed MVS and combined a number of formerly separate, related products. z/OS offers the attributes of modern operating systems but also retains much of the functionality originating in the 1960s and each subsequent decade that is still found in daily use. (Extreme backward compatibility is one of z/OS's central design philosophies.) It is derived from OS/390 and was introduced in October of 2000.[1]

z/OS supports mainframe staple technologies such as CICS, IMS, DB2, RACF, SNA, WebSphere MQ, record-oriented data access methods, REXX, CLIST, SMP/E, JCL, TSO/E, and ISPF. However, z/OS also supports 64-bit Java, C/C++, and UNIX (Single UNIX Specification) APIs and applications, with UNIX/Linux-style hierarchical HFS and zFS file systems. As a result, z/OS now can host Oracle database (RDBMS software) and SAP(ERP software). z/OS can communicate directly via TCP/IP, including IPv6, and includes a standard HTTP server along with other common services such as FTP, NFS, and CIFS/SMB. Another central design philosophy is support for extremely high qualities of service (QoS), even with a single operating system instance, although z/OS has built-in support for Parallel Sysplex clustering.

Z/OS processor info

i hv IPLed a node, and hv connected it through telnet. is there any command that can display the system information/processor information.
Currently i m using z10 processor, and need some command to display this processor's information. i hv heard of some TSO/E commands, but hvnt found anyone relevent

i hv also tried DM=CPU on MVS, but it didnt work

That is a z/OS (MVS) operator command - you have the syntax wrong; you need a space after the "D"

Code:

d m=cpu

Won't give you all you are used to under Linux, but will give model, serial number, number of on/off-line CPUs ...
