What is the correct syntax to move a file from USS to MVS? I am using: cp file.name "//MVS_data_set(member)" but it's not working. I sent this to the IBM MAIN listserv but I don't think my account is working correctly. -- 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 -- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
Re: detaching dasd attached to a guest
DASD 203E CP SYSTEM ZOSA0E 0 Ready; T=0.01/0.01 18:23:37 But I don't like the look of that; shouldn't it say LNX104? The guest it is attached to is LNX004. We have been labeling the MOD-9 where the OS lives the same as the guest, So when I ask Q 2314 I get: DASD 2314 CP SYSTEM LNX004 1 Ready; T=0.01/0.01 18:27:44 Which is fine. The dasd we add to guest LNX004 is labeled in sequence LNX104, LNX204, etc. It may be wrong on our spreadsheet. To be on the safe side I will just find some free dasd to add to the guest in question and fix it later. We have a production zOS guest with a lot of MOD-9s attached to it and I don't want to mess it up. I will get my part time sysprog to make sure I am re-attaching the correct disks. We are okay for now. We are not in a crunch for dasd yet, and I want to err on the side of caution. I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! Thanks, Neale!

Re: Adding DASD to a guest
Here is a clue to the problem, I think: I attach volumes 2108-210a to system logged in as MAINT. When I q dasd free, I do not see these disks listed as free. I RLDE the EXTENT CONTROL file and log off MAINT (after I have replaced the user direct file for the guest in question). When I log on to the guest I get the not linked message. When I log back into MAINT and q dasd free, the disks in question are showing free again. This says to me I am not attaching them correctly. Am I on the right track?

Re: repo for PHP5 for SuSE 11 sp3
Thanks so much for the much needed education, Mark. The issue is we have not deployed SuSE on z as it should have been done. I think the fixes for this are easy because we are now rather good at cloning, and we can just start from scratch with a proper installation. Does SuSE have any academic licenses?

If you have the option, I would advise to use SFS, much easier, file level control and works across lpars, both in an SSI cluster and/or via APPC/VM connections.

Configuring a second NIC to do NATing
I have some SUSE 11 Linux guests running (VM 5.4- sorry, we are stuck with a z9 until we can upgrade our machine). I want to configure a second virtual NIC (unless I don't need one to do what I want to do) so that I can use one of the guests as NAT router. What is the best way to do this? Additionally, if anyone has some pointers on NATing with SuSE 11 I am all ears, but I think I can follow a video I found on Youtube for this.

Re: Configuring a second NIC to do NATing
Glad we are running SuSE. Thanks. On Wed, Mar 25, 2015 at 4:13 AM, Berthold Gunreben b...@suse.de wrote: Configuring a second virtual NIC is just straight forward. Just add it to the user directory, and give permission to the VSWITCH (if applicable, could also be a directly attached device). Within linux, you can use either yast to configure this, or just call qeth_configure -h qeth_configure parameters to configure the device. To check for the device, you can use lsqeth NAT itself is configured with SUSEfirewall2. The configuration is found below /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 Please search for the term masquerading in that file, it is quite well documented. The SuSEfirewall2 service must be running to really do the NAT of course.

Letting all users log into Tight VNC
Hello again! I am running SuSE 11 SP3, and am using an image that was set up for me. It seems when I use a clone from one of the gurus VNC *always* allows users to log in under their own id/pw. If they are non-root, they, of course, have no root permissions. When I use install media myself I have to 1. go in and configure xstartup to use gnome by default (which now is no problem) and, 2) I can only use VNC as root. I still cannot figure the trick in number 2 out. I looked for the xstartup in the clones I get from more experienced folks in .vnc and *I don't see it*. When I do my own install of VNC xstartup is .vnc. Also, with the clones I don't have to use a VNC password, just the userid and pw of that specific user. Bottom line: I need to let my students log into VNC under their own account. We will talk about why we are using VNC and not CLI solely later. We're working on that one.

Re: Letting all users log into Tight VNC
I read back over my message and see it wasn't quite clear enough. My objective is for them to log in as *non-root*, that is, with the general user account that was set up for them. As it stands now, when I start VNC I am presented with a *VNC* password screen that upon authentication takes me to a root GUI (gnome). What I was trying to explain at first was the clones I use from more experienced admins already has VNC configured, but instead of asking for a VNC password, it merely asks for the Linux id/pw of the user, and logs them into a GUI for *their* account. For some reason, when I install VNC on my own from scratch I can't replicate that behavior. I get the scenario in the 3rd sentence above. That is not what I want. Thanks!

This is either by some local users, or by configuring some remote authentication like LDAP or NIS When connecting to the system with VNC, you will be then presented a GDM (or XDM if GDM is not installed) where all locally available users should be able to logon.

We access z/OS via logging into a VM LPAR and then dialing into the z/OS guest. The 3270 client we use has SSL capability.

Suspending and starting a Linux server
I have what I think is a simple question. Maybe I'm not clear about how to stop and restart a Linux server, but I was under the impressing that if I have a running Linux server in a guest I could suspend it and then return to the state that the server was in when I suspended it. My question comes from a need to go into a guest that has a running Linux server, switch over to CMS to do something, and then resume the server's work. I know how to #cp stop or #cp begin, but the only way I know to get back to the server is to ipl it again. Is there a way I can go back to the processing point I was on the Linux server before I stopped it?

It is documented as suspending and resuming, but it is not a suspend like you suspend a laptop. It is more like hibernation where all active memory is written to a swap DASD before Linux stops.

However, for the most part you probably only want to issue CP commands, so use the vmcp Linux command to do that (as others have stated.) If you want to update CMS files on a minidisk owned by the Linux server, just use another id to do that. Detach the disk from Linux (or re-link it read only), then link and access it r/w from another id and make the updates. No need to stop Linux for either of these methods.

Re: Using DIRMAINT to copy an existing guest
Mark: That is what I call very cool. Let me be clear, DIRM finds available DASD from the pool (in our case MOD 9s) and gives them to the clone? For example, the clones will have volumes E150, E152... E15n, which are all named the same for each clone anyway, and find DASD for them. I want to make sure I'm clear on this.

Re: Which DASD is free
That's why I love this forum. When I have a question that on the surface may appear to be pretty simple, you guys educate me in that with enterprise technologies, nothing is simple. These answers have been extremely insightful. The main guy that sets our physical environment up chimed in and and told me that all is well. He has a storage management strategy that will streamline these issues. It's just that we had a lot of cooks in the kitchen. We will fix that. Thanks again!

A logical volume at the hypervisor level looks like a physical volume to the instance which likely contains multiple logical volumes. With the abstraction of volumes the way they've been of late, the word, I believe, is becoming more and more ambiguous. Though, really, the query for free DASD -- devices -- implies physical volumes. Mind you, with the expanded use of SANs, all bets are off as to where the LUNs really map to.

Re: Which DASD is free
That is the situation. When the volumes were created, they were named to indicate what was free. But two folks did it, and one used the label FREE, but I forget what the other one was. I have enough labeled FREE for me to do what I need to do now, and I can e-mail the person who set this up for the other label. You would think the label itself would indicate (I guess there is no reason to use anything other than FREE) but none of the ones I see ring a bell. They are probably seeing this anyway and will respond before I can send them an e-mail. Thanks.

If the dasd volume is in your LPAR's I/O configuration, it's visible. If a visible volume has been assigned to your VM LPAR it is available. If an available dasd volume has been formatted so as to remove any residual data and assigned a label, it is eligible. If an eligible volume has been placed in the pool of dasd that you take from to satisfy system or virtual machine needs, it is unallocated. When an unallocated volume is subsequently allocated for use by CP, it is a CP-owned volume. When an unallocated volume is allocated for use by one or more virtual machines, it is a user volume. A volume that is currently neither attached to SYSTEM nor a user is FREE according to QUERY DASD. You cannot reliably infer any of the above roles if it says FREE. For example a dedicated user volume will show FREE until the user who has it logs on. Likewise for DEVNO minidisks. And as Scott said, you may have visible dasd that are not available.

You should have enough free devices to do this. All the devices are 3390-9s (10017 cylinders). We started with 439 of these volumes. I don't know how many have been taken already, but there should be enough (80) for your 40 users still free. As for the 191 disk space, these will have to be individually assigned in DISKMAP. I'm kind of surprised that each LINUX user needs 2 full 3390-9 volumes, but if that's what the LINUX guru is saying, then so be it. What is the status of the 8100? There's a huge amount of additional disk space available there, but last I heard (several months ago), it was just getting powered on. I'm pretty sure we have no connected channels to it, since I haven't been asked to update the IOCDS, so it can't be used, although it may have been potentially formatted from its own HMC function.

I am trying to copy either of these guests and replicate them for a class I am teaching: USER LINUX001 LINUX001 1G 4G G INCLUDE LNXDFLT CPU 00 CPU 01 NICDEF F000 TYPE QDIO DEV 3 LAN SYSTEM VSWITCH1 MDISK 191 3390 0001 150 MM2001 MDISK 700 3390 0001 10016 MM2101 MDISK 701 3390 0001 10016 MM2201 MDISK 900 FB-512 V-DISK 409600 MR * ** * USER LINUX002 LINUX002 1G 4G G INCLUDE LNXDFLT CPU 00 CPU 01 NICDEF F000 TYPE QDIO DEV 3 LAN SYSTEM VSWITCH1 MDISK 191 3390 0301 150 MM2001 MDISK 700 3390 0001 10016 MM2104 MDISK 701 3390 0001 10016 MM2204 MDISK 900 FB-512 V-DISK 409600 MR My question: Disks 191 and 900 are exactly the same for both users. For disks 700 and 701, the disks where Linux is going to live, the disks are different slightly in their labeling: 700 is MM2101 on for user LINUX001 AND MM2104 for user LINUX002, etc. I know how to use DISKMAP somewhat. But I'm not completely clear about how to apportion DASD for these users. I sure don't want to overwrite an address and I know DISKMAP will warn you about overlaps but I would hate to mess up the addressing. I was with the VM sysprog when he defined these, but I forgot exactly what I'm supposed to do. Do I find more minidisks labeled MM and assign them sequentially in DISKMAP? I have never allocated DASD before. I am going to need about 30-40 guests and I have the DASD for it.

Re: Missing file for RHEL 5 installation???

The LRECL for the initrd should always show 80, and if you tell me which update of RHEL 5 you're installing I can give you the expected number of records, to make sure the file was transferred correctly.

Remote HMC access
This is not a VM question per se, but maybe the group can help me. I am trying to access my HMC remotely. My school requires I use a VPN.
