Hello lists,
I am pleased to announce a new experimental package named "Mz" ("Managing
z") - a lightweight set of Linux bash scripts that provide both a command
line and a Web interface for systems management of z/VM and Linux. These
scripts work well between LPARs and CECs. An RPM and a PDF are available
under the Artistic License 2.0 at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/managing-z/
If you are expecting quality, well-tested bug-free code, then this package
is not for you (you have been warned :)) If you're the experimental,
"bleading-edge" type, you might want to try it out on a sandbox system.
Here is a "quick start" on how to try it out:
-) Define a virtual machine with class BCDEG privileges and OPTION
LNKNOPAS.
-) Install a recent RHEL or SLES Linux.
-) Install the cmsfs RPM on SLES (on RHEL it's part of s390-tools).
-) Have access to co-req'd RPMs - 'openssh', 'rsync' and 's390-tools' are
easy, 'tree' is on another DVD on SLES (e.g. SLE-11-SP2-SDK).
-) Download the Mz rpm.
-) Install the pre-req RPMs
-) Install it (rpm -ivh mz-2-13.s390x.rpm)
-) Run 'mzmktree'
-) If that works, rum 'mzlstree -d'
-) look in the document /usr/local/share/mz/mz.pdf (also on the
sourceforge site) on how to set up Web access and much more
A longer post coming ...
