More info: The ETR support introduces a new kernel parameter etr that is used to set the initial state for the online attribute of the two ports. The syntax of the parameter is etr=[on | off | port0 | port1]. The default is off. The ETR support introduces a number of sysfs attributes. There are two time synchronization ports etr0 and etr1, which can be accessed via sysfs under: /sys/devices/system/etr Is this for under z/VM as well ? (we are going to be doing XRC r.s.n.).

The third quarter meeting of the Chicago Area VM (and Linux) Enthusiasts will be held on Thursday, June 19, 2008. The Final Agenda is included below. -- Meeting Location: *** NEW MEETING LOCATION *** This quarter's meeting will be held at the Hewitt Associates 'East Campus' located at 100 Half Day Road, in Lincolnshire, IL. We will meet in the Lower Level Conference Room in Building 98. If you have not attended a meeting at this location before, or you are not familiar with the area, http://cavmen.home.comcast.net/hewittb99.htmlClick here for additional information on directions, maps, lodging and dining. -- Attendance: We would like to request a count of expected attendees by the Monday before the meeting, so that we may plan appropriately for arranging the facilities, and for refreshments and lunch, should one of the vendors wish to provide them. If you are planning to attend, PLEASE send an E-Mail by that date to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject line of Meeting Attendance. This is meant to be a facilities planning aid and should not be interpreted as a registration requirement. If you suddenly become available at the last minute, please feel free to attend even if you have not responded. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. -- Meeting Agenda: 9:00 AM z/VM Security Update This session provides detailed information about the security enhancements in z/VM V5.3. We will discuss mixed-case passwords, password phrases, LDAP, directory commands and enhancements to the support for SSL/TLS in TN3270E, FTP and SMTP. The speaker will be Mr. Alan Altmark of the IBM Corporation. 10:30 AMCoffee Break 11:00 AMMigrating to the z/VM Virtual Switch Converting your existing point-to-point or z/VM Guest LAN configurations to the z/VM Virtual Switch can appear to be a daunting task, but it's easier than you think. Here we'll talk about how to move subnet routing off of your z/VM system and onto your networking hardware where it belongs. We'll even talk about how to create IEEE VLANs on a Cisco switch. This presentation is a great way to bridge the buzzword gap between you and your network administrators.. The speaker will be Mr. Alan Altmark of the IBM Corporation. 12:30 PMLunch Break 1:30 PM Administration and Vendor Announcements 1:45 PM Linux on z Update The speaker will present a brief update of recent developments in the Linux under z/VM area. The speaker will be Khaylen Kingsley of the IBM Corporation. 2:00 PM Provisioning Expert for Linux on zSeries - Version 1.4 Update Using the automated instance management feature of Mainstar's Provisioning Expert for Linux on zSeries product, a non-Linux or non-z/VM expert can easily create, configure, and maintain many virtual Linux instances under z/VM. You can also: * Reduce management costs by eliminating physical footprints * Eliminate errors with accurate configuration of Linux instances * Centrally view and manage all Linux instances * Provide efficient and automated resource utilization This session will include an overview of the new features in Version 1.4, an in-depth look at some of the advanced function, and some insight into possible future enhancements. The speaker will be Ms. Shari Killion of Mainstar Software. 3:15 PM Coffee Break and Prize Drawing 3:30 PM SOA: Selling it inside your organization SOA is not a technology, it is a concept. This presentation assumes no knowledge of SOA, and works up to showing very basic code samples and prerecorded demonstrations of SOA in action. If you are beginner to SOA, or are struggling with convincing others in your organization to embrace SOA, come to the presentation. You will be equipped to describe SOA in simple terms that everyone in your organization will understand. This presentation is primarily animations and prerecorded demos, therefore there will be no handout. The speaker will be Mr. Michael Potter of Replatform Technologies. 4:45 PM Free-for-All Members will attempt to answer any reasonable VM or hardware related questions. If you are having a problem and want to find out if others are experiencing it, or you are installing new hardware or software and want to find out what types of problems others have experienced, here is the place to find out. Members are encouraged to bring ideas for future presentations and speakers to this meeting. -- Please check the WEB site for Map and Directions: http://cavmen.home.comcast.net In addition, you will also find extensive information available on dining and lodging in the Hewitt Associates area.

I was informed that you have discovered one of the side effects of the Second Law of Thermodynamics (an unbalanced system tends towards Chaos). Apparently there was some sort of matter distortion wave and the DIRECTXA MODULE was duplicated. Not split in half, mind you, but duplicated. One copy was Evil and went to the 51D. The other, the Good copy, went to the 190. The Oracle and one of her High Priestesses, as one Voice, instruct me to say unto you all: If thou hast z/VM 5.3, then thou hast both Good and Evil. The Resident Evil is to be destroyed at once. Leave not a trace or crumb from which it may regenerate. If thou hast an elder version of z/VM 5.3, then thou art immune and have the protection of the Gods. Sure. Right. This is the problem talking to an Oracle: they talk funny. Delete DIRECTXA MODULE from the 51D and all will be well. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do via a PTF to automatically delete the offending module. (Sysprogs get upset when we start deleting things *we* don't think should be on the system.) Consequently, no need for a call to the Support Center. We will place a notice in the PSP bucket.
