Lionel, We just tested such a scenario at a DR exercise this past week. A common script was installed on all our Linux servers and set to execute at an early run-level prior to network initialization.
The script reads a shared CMS file using the cmsfs package then updates config files accordingly. The input file contains network configuration items for both home and DR. By externalizing the data on a CMS disk customization of each Linux server is not required - one script fits all. We plan to use the script for initial builds at home as well. It worked like a charm. If anyone is interested in the details, please contact me off-list. ...Nick. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Lionel Dyck Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 11:01 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Dynamicallhy Changing Linux Guest Network 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.
