Specifying the monitor DCSS name

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS z/VM guest

Specify the DCSS name as a module parameter when you load the device driver module.

About this task

By default, the z/VM *MONITOR record reader device driver assumes that the monitor DCSS on z/VM is called MONDCSS. If you want to use a different DCSS name, you must specify it.

Load the monitor read support module with modprobe to assure that any other required modules are also loaded. You need IUCV support if you want to use the monitor read support.

where <dcss> is the name of the DCSS that z/VM uses for the monitor records. The value is automatically converted to uppercase.

Example

To load the monitor read support module and specify MYDCSS as the DCSS, issue: 
modprobe monreader mondcss=mydcss
