Hello list, We are pleased to announce a new paper "Sharing and Maintaining SLES 11 SP1 Linux under z/VM using FBA disks DCSSs and an NSS". It is on the Web at the top of the page: http://www.vm.ibm.com/linux/dcss/
It describes how to set up "read-only-root" systems on FBA/SCSI disks with SLES 11 SP1 using DCSSs for the file systems and swap spaces. It's an update of a paper published just over a year ago that describes systems on ECKD disks using SLES 11. The work was largely done by Craig Collins and Robert Taylor of the State of Wisconsin. It was verified on our systems by Jeng-Fang (Nick) Wang of IBM. There is also a new short section on disaster recovery. We hope it helps. As always, feedback is welcome on or off-list. Thanks to all who helped out. Mike MacIsaac, Jeng-Fang Wang, IBM Craig Collins, Robert Taylor, State of Wisconsin
