My eyes have seen the glory ... er, uh ... the elegance of an isolated network where this is not needed and not even desirable. Nice when DR looks 100% like your real data center (just virtualized). But that probably doesn't help you in this context.
You can get VM ID and z/VM host node ID from /proc/sysinfo. It's architected. No need for 'hcp' or 'vmcp', just 'grep' for the strings of interest and 'awk' to parse them. You then would want to have some home-grown script (in Linux space) which wraps it all up and automagically sets your DR networking. Not difficult at all, just time consuming. You could also employ (physical) DHCP in your DR network, but your z/VM VSWITCHes would all have to be layer 2. -- R; <>< On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 11:01, Lionel Dyck<ld...@us.ibm.com> wrote: > Does anyone have a z/vm and/or linux script that they could share that can > be used to dynamically change the linux servers network when the server is > brought up at a dr site and/or when the network addressing is changed? > > I've tried playing with it without success - keep missing a piece here or > there. > > thx > > > > Lionel B.
