Re: SUSE s390 - Zebra installation problems
Mark, I also thought that it was part of the distribution, it is on my desktop but not on the Enterprise Server 7. I have been looking for a s390x level zebra from SuSE but as yet been unable to find one. Anybody any idea's ??

It sounds like the version of zebra you're compiling has an out-of-date config.guess and/or config.sub file in it. That would be why it doesn't understand "s390x-unknown-linux-gnu" as a valid system type. You could try copying those files from /usr/share/libtool into where ever you find them in the zebra source tree. I wasn't able to find either RTM_ADD or RTM_DELETE on my system.

linux/390 support
Please forgive any ignorance in this question, yet another MVS techie dipping a toe into the linux world. We are looking to create a Linux/390 LPAR on an H30 and we are trying to figure out the "support" arrangements for the base operating system. With (MVS, OS/390, Z/OS) we ring up the IBM support center for all operating system related problems as part of the cost of licensing the operating system. What is IBM's arrangement with Linux/390? IBM (Australia) has told us that we do not order Linux via IBM but must order through another site, presumably Red Hat or SUSE. If we have installation problems I assume that support is presumably given through the vendor with whom we purchased Linux. My concern is what happens once we have a production application running on Linux/390 and we have an operating system failure. *) Is there any option for getting support from the IBM support center or IBM Global Services? *) Is there a 24x7 support arrangement involved? *) What are typical costs involved with support for Linux/390? *) What type of support does IBM provide? Level 1 equivalent or more? *) How many out there are running production work on Linux/390? *) Does anyone have any experience or war stories with using linux support particularly in Sev-1 or Sev-2 situation? kindest regards for any responses, Tom Rusnak Sydney, Aus.

Re: Expanded Storage Question
Paul, As someone else pointed out, VM still can get some additional performance out of expanded storage. Someone else mentioned xpram, but perhaps the best use is Vdisk for swap. Linux can swap all it wants to the vdisk, and VM will see if parts of that aren't being referenced, and page it out to disk. I'm pretty sure that if you devote part of expanded to xpram, it will all be marked as unusable by anyone else.

Re: Expanded Storage Question
It has been said that the VM paging algorithms are tuned for 3 levels of storage, and you will get better performance by giving VM some XSTORE to play with. I would start with 5 gig of central and 1 gig of expanded storage, and play with the ratio from there. Here is a nice writeup on this: http://www.vm.ibm.com/perf/tips/storconf.html Linux can also use expanded storage for a very fast swap device. The xpram driver will provide access to the xstore as if it were any other block device. Just modprobe xpram ; mkswap /dev/slram0 ; swapon /dev/slram0 and away you go.

Re: Expanded Storage Question
I set up my z/800 z/VM LPAR to be all Central Storage, no Expanded. z/VM supports this. The Linux/390 guests can then use this storage. Linux/390 cannot, to the best of my knowledge, use Expanded Storage at all. Since z/VM and z/Linux are both running 64 bit, this should work well.

They're quite old, and hence vulnerable. I agree that if Pat's company paid for support after the install that DSG should be able to provide them with updated versions.

Red Hat ships with a newer version of RPM than SuSE. Red Hat has used RPM 4.x for quite some time, while SuSE still uses RPM 3.x.

Both part > numbers are long since retired, or even discontinued. Oooh! Ooooh! Mister Kotter! I remember those! The 80130 was a chip that contained an iRMX86 kernel in ROM plus some timer and I/O support glue. The 80150 contained the core of CPM/86 in the ROM but was otherwise the same as the 80130. They came in 40-pin DIPs if I recall. I've still got the databooks around here somewhere, probably. RMX was actually a pretty decent o.s., when used for its intended purposes. The 80130 and 80150 never took off in the marketplace, largely because their mask-programmed ROMs were obsolete too quickly and because EPROMs dropped in price very rapidly at the same time. Also, both of these chips were quirky from a hardware design standpoint; I forget the details, but I remember them being difficult to design-in for one reason or another. The summer I worked for Intel, I did a lot of sysgens of RMX86 for our big, powerful servers. You know, those fully-loaded "minicomputer" chassis with a whopping 768K of RAM and over 5 megabytes of hard disk on line. And I've just realized how far this poor thread has drifted off-topic.

There is a partially working port in SG24-5944 Redbook, "Open Source Software for z/OS and OS/390 UNIX".

Re: Use SSH instead of TELNET
Pat, Perhaps it wasn't installed. If you're running the original SuSE distribution, you need to go to ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/s390/7.0/sec1 and download the RPMs there. You should probably install mod_ssl.rpm, openssh.rpm and openssl.rpm. It wouldn't hurt to install the others as well. The versions there are old, so you might want to be adventurous and get the source RPMs from ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/s390/7.0/zq1 and use the .spec files in them to use as models for building current versions. (I know that sounds like a lot of work, and it is. But, that's what running an old distribution will cause. :( ) If you're running the later SuSE distribution, or Red Hat, the needed RPMs will be amongst the other RPMs for installation.

Re: Backups of Linux volume
Chuck, Although I only have two LINUX guests under zVM 3.1, I have an exec that runs the backups using DDR. I have the operator shutdown each instance while they run the backup and at the end the EXEC will ask whether to IPL(boot) or not. I successfully recovered both LINUX quests when I went through a DR in September. Loren Charnley, Jr. Tech Support Administrator Family Dollar Stores, Inc.

Look at the CP SET MDCACHE command for ways to flush (or turn off) the cache after you have quieced Linux. You can do it on a volume or minidisk basis, depending on how you do your backups. Where 7x24x365 is required, you should already have load balancers/sprayers, etc. in place. Make sure your web/app server "clusters" have minidisks on different volumes so you can take down one server at a time, yet still maintain the service.

Re: SSH instead of TELNET - In regards to S/390 ----> Linux
James, There's a port of OpenSSH to OS/390's UNIX System Services environment. That doesn't sound like what you're after, though. (Or does it?) IBM's SG24-5944 Redbook, "Open Source Software for z/OS and OS/390 UNIX" is the place to look, if it is what you want.

The way I dump my live file systems is a little zany but it works for me I hot add a mirror volume to the raid I want for a rebuild to finish I hot remove it at that point its close enough that the ext3 journalling log replay should fix it up, and if not fsck will have almost no work to do. I guess the right approach if you run LVM would be to make a snapshot and back up the snapshot. I don't thinkwhat you are doing is impossible, and its a rather important item to get right for a 24x7 OS. In the x86 world drbd seems to be the popular approach (basically raid over network) Alan

Backups of Linux volume
One of the selling points I've been using to promote Linux here is the fact that it appears to be the first truly cost effective means of transporting Unix/Linux mid-range systems - affordably - to our hot site. You know the drill. the Linux file systems reside on 390 DASD, the same DASD we subscribe to at hot site... the hardware is the same so we can run our guests under VM there also, no need to buy duplicate hardware etc., etc,. Our approach has been that I can use our OS/390 LPAR to touch the z/VM DASD volumes (temporarily) and get full volume dumps using ADRDSSU. The full volumes would contain Linux mini disks for one or more of the Linux guests. The production OS/390 LPAR can then handle the processing of the tapes for hot site just like all other OS/390 disaster recovery backups we take - i.e. they fall into a designated tape rotation to our offsite tape vault, and subsequently can be pulled for transport to hot site. Once at hot site, we should be able to restore these full volume dumps and would have all of our mini disks back and can then fire up z/VM and the Linux guests. We are using the same process to backup the z/VM system volumes. We are not having good luck getting the Linux systems to boot when we have tested the restore process here. We (thought we) understood the need to have the Linux guest quiesced so we could get a clean dump - and as such issued a 'sync' command hoping all of the buffers would be written to disk form the affected guest(s). What (we think) is apparently happening is that some level of VM caching is still keeping all of the data from getting written when we expect it, or - even though it's late at night - there is still some activity going on in the Linux OS that's corrupting the backups. The IPLs fail at assorted points in the boot process. We are thinking that we now may have to shut down the guests in order to get reliable backups. My questions relating to this are: Does this seem like a feasible approach? Is anyone out there backing up a large number of guests in this, or a similar manner? If so, how are you doing it? Is there a better way to temporarily quiesce a 390-Linux system to get good copies of the mini disk volumes? We would like the Linux guests to be available as close to possible to 7x24x365 - meaning we would like to avoid a large "backup window" type outage; and we are thinking about buying the "point-in-time" backup capability for our DASD subsystems to reduce this window. The process would be similar to what I described above except the backups would take seconds per volume - which would mean the Linux guests could resume work after the "Snap" occurred - and the "snapped" copies could be dumped to tape as the tape drives became available. Any help would be appreciated. Chuck Gowans USDA - Nat'l IT Center - Kansas City

Re: SUSE s390 - Zebra installation problems
Michael, Since zebra comes on the SuSE distribution, I'm wondering why you're trying to build it from source? It sounds like the version of zebra you're compiling has an out-of-date config.guess and/or config.sub file in it. That would be why it doesn't understand "s390x-unknown-linux-gnu" as a valid system type. You could try copying those files from /usr/share/libtool into where ever you find them in the zebra source tree. I wasn't able to find either RTM_ADD or RTM_DELETE on my system. I have a bunch of RTM_somethings in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/rtnetlink.h, but not those.

A register to storage or storage to register instruction CAN be re-executed without problem. However, 390 has storage to storage instructions, and those instructions can overlap and DO overlap. And those MAY have problems if interrupted in the middle. In fact, if you look in the Principle of Operations book for MVCL, you will find an elaborate explanation of the oops that you can get if you are overlaping a MVCL, and the instruction is interrupted (which can happen easily with an MVCL on a multi-processing system). So imagine what could happen with such an instruction when you went over a page boundary, the new page had different protection, and you tried to restart the instruction. Lloyd
