osa layer 2 setup in redhat ???
Hi, I already installed rhel 5.4 , native lpar, osa layer 3. This is up and running. I tried reinstalling rhel 5.4 , native lpar with osa layer 2. During the install it will prompt for a MAC address. Can someone guide me thru this. what is the mac address the rhel installater is looking for ? I tried putting in the mac address of the OSA and it doesn't accept it. I tried putting blank but there is an error later during the initializing of the osa. I tried putting my own administered mac address 02:00:00:00:00:01, this one seems to work but i am confused what this mac address is for. I look at the example of channel bonding setup and all them seems to have the mac addr set to the mac address of the device ? #> ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:06:29:55:2A:01 #> ifconfig eth1 hw ether 00:05:27:54:21:04 should i go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and edit ifcfg-eth0 and change the mac address back to the osa address ? appreciate if you can shed some light on this.

Re: intro, & request for advice ...
This is a great place to start as you start working with Linux. Also keep www.google.com/linux as quick starting point to finding answers. Do you have an open systems group in your shop? Buy a large box of donuts and pay them a visit. Many quick answers can be found just down the hall in many shops. Also set up one or two x86 boxes at home to play with, and install Linux on them, just to keep as a sandbox to test your ideas. One Question, why go with free source code? Will you be putting any production applications on zLinux? Is there a detail play within your organization to use zLinux, or is this just a playground? If this will be a high value application for users that need 7 x 24 x 365 access, then you may want to invest in some system support, both SUSE and RED HAT are great with their support for the z390x platform. And push for zVM, that is where the magic begins, virtualization! New server fully loaded in less than 10 minutes. Seeing the ".gov" in your email, someone has to be accountable to the performance with application running on zLinux.

Re: intro, & request for advice ...
I have been in your situatuion before. I would try the Centos for your project since it is very closely related to Red Hat. This way if management were to decide to spring for a supported license you could use Red Hat and be comfortable with the result. Otherwise the Debian will probably meet you needs. By the way I have not installed DB2Connect under Linux as yet so this is purely from a Linux perspective.

Re: intro, & request for advice ...
Certainly from a support standpoint, DB2 Connect and most vendor software is not certified on the 'free' Linux distributions. You will need a supported distribution from Novell or RedHat. It is possible that the vendor will not even license the software without a supported distribution. If you do get a license, the software may not install due to install-time checks. If you manage to get past all that and have problems you will have no one to call. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Bonno, Tuco Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 8:02 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: intro,& request for advice ... please allow me to introduce myself.

Re: intro, & request for advice ...
I think the answer depends on whether this is simply a 'proof of concept' or if the result is supposed to be a supportable solution. I'm guessing that for now, it's proof of concept.. so as Ruddy suggested, CentOS might be a good choice since it's RH based. I'm sure RH and Novell provide 'trial' periods too. Ultimately, as others have said - you'll need to choose one of the supported Linux distros for DB2Connect if your goal is a vendor-supportable solution. And even if proof of concept -- it's a 'good thing' to try and start with supported solutions and not have to start over when you've proved your concept and now want to run with it.

Re: intro, & request for advice ...
Tuco, I'm a newbie on this list, I've done z/OS programming for fewer years than you have but for longer than z/Linux. You might have seen me on the TCPIP list. A couple of thoughts - Production means that the agency expects to have the same level of infrastructure and operational support as z/OS. Since it's "On the Mainframe" they're ignoring a huge piece of infrastructure because we made it work for z/OS decades ago. We had z/Linux project go from "skunkworks" to production without resolving all the infrastructure and operational issues. It's not pretty. POR's, backup and recovery, accounting, management, the list of things that you don't take into account are impressive. We've spent several man months already and we're only part way through making our installation fully production ready and billable. I recommend that you push back. The only way I would run z/Linux on the LPAR without z/VM is very early proof of concept, and even then I'm not sure. HTH.

Re: SLES11 boot problem
Thanks Ray, We actually circumvented the problem earlier this afternoon by disabling multipathing. Brought the system up in rescue mode, mounted /dev/sda3 (root) at /mnt, mounted /dev/sda1 to /mnt/boot, rebound proc, sys and dev then chroot /mnt. Edited /etc/sysconfig/kernel changing INITRD_MODULES="jbd ext3 zfcp dm-multipath" to INITRD_MODULES="jbd ext3 zfcp" then ran mkinitrd and zipl -V and rebooted successfully. However, we still don't understand why multipathing was broken. I have two other SuSE 11 guests running on this same zVM LPAR with multipathing enabled that weren't having any issues. None the less, just glad it's back.

This way if management were to decide to spring for a supported license you could use Red Hat and be comfortable with the result. And, more importantly, Red Hat has ways to bring you from CentOS to RHEL in a supported manner without requiring a OS reinstall, should your company ever chose to do so. The other options (Debian, Fedora, etc) don't have such methods to go from unsupported to supported without wiping everything and starting anew. -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
