Re: Hipersockets - problem with some guests
On 9/20/06, Ranga Nathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Strangely some guests show individual address of hipersockets triad while configuring network via YaST in SLES9. For example, see below: Again, it is only for some guests. Have you preserved the even/odd numbering when you map the real QDIO device onto a virtual one? IIRC the driver in Linux arranges the (virtual) devices in the order that fits the tripod arrangement, but when you swap even and odd devices in the attach, the driver got them wrong. If you simply took the next 3 real devices and attach them as EC00-EC02 for each server, that would suggest half of the guests get them wrong. There's various ways you can ensure the even/odd mapping is retained (including a virt=real mapping, skipping one address between the tripods, alternating swap of the first two, etc).

Understanding F20 ESS and defining a correct IOCDS
I will be installing my first F20 ESS (Shark). It has not arrived but I do know that it is using 36.4 GB drives and has 1.6 Terabytes. I was not able to find a copy of the IBM Total Storage ESS Introduction and Planning Guide GC26-7294 on the web. If any one has this guide or a URL I would appreciate getting a copy. I did download and reviewed the Redbook Implementing ESS in your environment. My understanding is that the ESS will come with 8 by 210 GB arrays/ranks (each having 8 drives) and these will be attached to adapter 1 to 4 in cluster 1 and 1 to 4 in cluster 2. Also, there is going to be only 4 loops with 2 array/groups on each loop. Looks like a very small configuration. Did I understand the manual correctly? This is my first take on the IOCDS. We will not be using PAV and I suspect we will be using 68 3390-3 on Interleave array and x? custom volumes on the NI partition. I assume I can define any size and number of 3390s I wish to use up the approx 15GB of data. Is this then the correct IOCDS? Also is there a way to configure access to all volumes via one or two channels? I have a z/800 two LPAR system. One VM/VSE and one for LINUX. Thanks for you comments and suggestions.

We use FDR, but DFDSS should be able to do it with no problems. Just make sure to stop whichever guest you are backing up before you do your backup. Jon snip Anybody backing up VM volumes using this on z/OS? /snip

Re: DFDSS
Title: DFDSS Yep, I know about all that. I'm talking about the DASD volumes that Linux minidisks are on, not the VM ones. Linux will be down at the time (we have 2 z9-109, well actually soon will be on 5), on 1systemat a time. We just need to shorten that backup downtime in order to be able to do both (all) in the same window and the window needs to get smaller because of the increased load and they have all the fancy HW and 11 LPARs to drive some really fast backups across to the other datacenter (peer to peer tape) until the time we can get full XRC made available to us. So, that's it in a big nutshell. Marcy Cortes This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

OUTPUT
We have some vendor code, actually ESAWEB is being installed, that has a pipeline in it that looks like this: address 'COMMAND' 'PIPE stem xyz. | OUTPUT' This results in an error because there is no OUTPUT REXX, actually no OUTPUT banana, anywhere in the search order of the failing machine. The CGI containing this code fails, of course. We tried creating an OUTPUT REXX that did nothing more than a SHORT command. The CGI ran, but provided a blank screen. Has anyone else run across this? (Yes, Mike, the problem has been reported.) Regards, Richard Schuh
