Re: zfcp questions
Phil -- I don't immediately see anything wrong with your adapter config file. I would recommend using the scripts included in the S390 Tools package. In particular, ... /sbin/zfcp_host_configure 0.0.0800 1 /sbin/zfcp_disk_configure 0l0.0800 0x597208239950 0x000e 1 The trailing "1" means "online" in both cases. The latter statement, of course, repeats per disk. You may need to take everything back down and then up again. (Bring down the disks, one at a time, even if they are not actually up, then bring down the adapter, then again execute the sequence to get them all online.) In SLES 9, you had to restamp 'mkinitrd' (and then also run 'zipl'). I have seen it go both ways with SLES 10: Most often you don't have to redo 'mkinitrd' and 'zipl', but other times it seems like you have to do them or the disks are not present after reboot. -- Rick; <>< On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 13:29, Philip Tully wrote: > Hello, > > > > I am in the beginning to implement FCP disk connections on a series of linux > machines running SLES 10 sp2+, during startup I receive the following series > of messages: > > Configuring device 0.0.0800 > > > scsi0 : zfcp > > > 09:24:36 zfcp: The adapter 0.0.0800 reported the following characteristics: > > > WWNN 0x5005076400caa584, WWPN 0xc05076efed800400, S_ID 0x00ab004f, > > > adapter version 0x4, LIC version 0x2b, FC link speed 4 Gb/s > > > zfcp: Switched fabric fibrechannel network detected at adapter 0.0.0800. > > > Activating zfcp disk 0.0.0800:0x597208239950:0x000e > > > No configuration file for adapter 0.0.0800 > > > Configuring FCP disk 597208239950:000e > > > > I have 2 questions: > > 1 The startup looks good except for the “No configuration file for adapter > 0.0.0800” message since I have the file > > /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-zfcp-bus-ccw-0.0.0800 included at the bottom. > > 2 When I issue the command hwup 0.0.0800 I receive the following error > message: > > > > cdlvmeng001:/etc/sysconfig/hardware # hwup 0.0.0800 > > Cannot handle subsystem '' > > > > Regards, > > Phil Tully > > > > > > > > cdlvmeng001:/etc/sysconfig/hardware # cat hwcfg-zfcp-bus-ccw-0.0.0800 > > !/bin/sh > > # > > # hwcfg-zfcp-bus-ccw-0.0.0800 > > # > > # Configuration for the zfcp adapter at CCW ID 0.0.0800 > > # > > > > STARTMODE="auto" > > MODULE="zfcp" > > MODULE_OPTIONS="" > > MODULE_UNLOAD="yes" > > > > # Scripts to be called for the various events. > > # If called manually the event is set to 'up'. > > SCRIPTUP="hwup-ccw" > > SCRIPTUP_ccw="hwup-ccw" > > SCRIPTUP_scsi_host="hwup-zfcp" > > SCRIPTDOWN="hwdown-scsi" > > SCRIPTDOWN_scsi="hwdown-zfcp" > > > > # Configured zfcp disks > > ZFCP_LUNS=" > > 0x597208239950:0x000e > > 0x597208239950:0x000f > > 0x597208239950:0x0010 > > 0x597208239950:0x0012 > > 0x597208239950:0x0014 > > 0x597208239950:0x0016 > > 0x597208239950:0x0017 > > 0x597208239950:0x0018 > > 0x597208239950:0x0019 > > 0x597208239950:0x001a > > 0x597208239950:0x001b > > 0x597208239950:0x001c > > 0x597208239950:0x001d" > > cdlvmeng001:/etc/sysconfig/hardware # > > > > > > > > > >

No, it's not successful yet... once you SAVESEG MONDCSS it will activate the skeleton (0038) and purge the current (0011). But you can't as long as the monitor is active and someone is connected to *MONITOR (the user count of 2 says so). And from what I can see here, the old and new are the same. So I'm not sure you did what you wanted to do.

Re: Automated Logoff of CMS user
Of course, VM's ability to disconnect the session from the virtual machine accomplishes the same thing, but it's rather heavy handed. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott _ There are actually two different controls being discussed here (both under NIST SP 800-53): 1.1.1AC-11: Session Lock NIST SP 800-53 Control: The information system prevents further access to the system by initiating a session lock that remains in effect until the user reestablishes access using appropriate identification and authentication procedures. NIST SP 800-53 Control Enhancements: None. We have successfully argued that the workstation screensaver provides this functionality and satisfies this control. Hence, it is an inherited control. 1.1.2AC-12: Session Termination NIST SP 800-53 Control: The information system automatically terminates a session after 15 minutes of inactivity. NIST SP 800-53 Control Enhancements: None. We argued that, in it's literal sense, Session Termination means forcing the z/VM virtual machine off (not FORCE DSC, since the "session" is arguably still active when disconnected), and that this "heavy handed" action would result in potential data loss and lost work (e.g. open Xedit sessions, TDisk/VDisk usage, etc. - any number of things). We were not successful in getting (Federal) auditors to waive the requirement, but once they understood the environment they agreed that taking such action is inappropriate in a z/VM environment. We took what is called a "Risk Based Decision" (RBD) that can be easily defended to both Management and Security types. It's very unfortunate, but these "security standards" that ALL Information Systems are supposed to adhere to were written WITHOUT consideration of individual platform architecture(s) and capabilities. We spend the majority of our time during Federal security audits explaining WHY the control is not applicable to z/VM systems. One of my favorites is the requirement to regularly run software approved for the purpose of identifying and controlling "malicious code". There is no such thing in a z/VM CMS environment, since there is no "malicious code" no "malicious code scanning program" has ever been written. We always have to take an RBD on a control this simply does not apply, and spend hours explaining how "files" might be transmitted to a virtual machine, but require explicit user interaction to load/run them and/or receive them from the virtual card reader. Federal audits are NOT fun, Federal audits of z/VM systems are the hardest of the bunch! J -Mike
Re: Help - Help
Thanks, Bob. I found that I was accessing Maint's 401 disk. Removing the access fixed the problem. My comment in the profile exec for this disk does not match what it is really for.

Re: Help - Help
First thing I would do it check the disks that are accessed from that id. Logon and do AC ( NODISK at the prompt, or if you don't get the prompt IPL CMS then do the AC ( NODISK. Try HELP and see if you still get the problem. Then I would start accessing things you normally have and keep trying the HELP command until it shows up again. In short take it one step at a time until it breaks. Bob Bates Enterprise Hosting Services w. (469)892-6660 c. (214) 907-5071 "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
