Re: DMSWRDBK Error
Thanks, Bruce. We are working on the assumption that the SFS server has somehow gotten in an inconsistent state. We did find another server that was looping and hitting the SFS server hard. We are restarting the SFS server and hoping that the condition will resolve itself. The application should be going away soon, so if we can get it limping along again, I'll be happy.

Re: Dropping VM 3270 Session
Turned out to be a wrong duplex setting on the switch in that remote office. Apparently VM was more susceptible to it than OS/390, but we expect that the OS/390 applications were running very slowly even though they weren't dropping.

MVMRUG Meeting April 20 in Columbus - Agenda
Cross posted to MVMRUG-L, IBMVM and LINUX-390 lists. The spring MVMRUG meeting will be held at the offices of State Auto Insurance in Columbus on Friday, April 20. All with an interest in VM are welcome to attend. Details will be available at http://www.mvmrug.org/nextmtg.html early next week. Here is the list of sessions that will be presented. We will also host our traditional Thursday evening Dutch treat dinner beginning at 7:00 pm. If you plan to attend the meeting, please drop me an email (off list) so we can get a count for the refreshments. Let me know if we should reserve a seat at dinner Thursday. * Linux for System z at Nationwide - From Woe to Whoa! How Did We Get Here, Toto! Presenter: Jim Vincent - Nationwide Insurance Abstract: You've probably heard that Linux runs on the mainframe and is the same as anywhere else - from Intel to System z servers. The challenge is that there can be a lot of politics around choosing to run Linux on the mainframe, deciding on a distribution and methodology for installing and maintaining Linux end even who will be responsible for the virtual Linux environments Many decisions and discussions need to be made around processes, tools and solutions to decide if they are right for a virtual Linux farm. This session will give you a candid insight on how Nationwide dealt with those topics along with: * The key to opening the door for building a Linux environment * Why Linux? What did we expect it to do for our business? * What it may take to motivate server, mainframe and even management to work with virtual servers * Choice of distributions to use on zSeries and decision points * Who needs to learn what; the learning curve for both mainframe and server folks The discussion will cover building a Linux Virtualization environment with z/VM on zSeries at Nationwide Insurance, where it is today and some key issues and benefits. * Linux for System z at Nationwide - From Woe to Whoa! Where Do We Go Now? Speaker: Rick Barlow - Nationwide Insurance Abstract: This session will continue the Nationwide story and focus on why, how and what to do to get a server farm built and keep it running. Topics to be discussed include: * Virtual hardware * Virtual network features and setup * High availability * Disaster recovery * Performance challenges * z/VM Platform Update: Introducing z/VM V5.3 Presenter: Dan Griffith, IBM Catch the latest breaking news on z/VM product enhancements. This session will provide you a high-level overview of the new z/VM Version 5.3 product announcement. z/VM V5.3 offers new, leading-edge virtualization capabilities and a pricing model that will help enterprises more easily exploit the on demand capabilities of IBM System z virtualization technology. * Managing Multiple Linux Instances on z/VM Presenter: Shari Killion, Mainstar When you run Linux as a guest of z/VM, the power and resources of the mainframe are utilized as needed, so you don't have to purchase and maintain separate dedicated hardware for each Linux server. Instead, hundreds of thousands of instances can run on just one z/VM host. Unfortunately, repeatedly creating, configuring and updating Linux instances manually can be tedious and time consuming, and all too often, those who are asked to perform these tasks are Linux staff with limited z/VM experience or z/VM staff with limited Linux experience.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 * Free for All Any VM-related question or topic is fair game.
