Actually on 390, a storage instruction MAY not necessarily be able to
be re-executed without problem.  You need to specify what store you
are talking about.  A register to storage or storage to register
instruction CAN be re-executed without problem.  However, 390 has
storage to storage instructions, and those instructions can overlap
and DO overlap.  And those MAY have problems if interrupted in the
middle.  In fact, if you look in the Principle of Operations book for
MVCL, you will find an elaborate explanation of the oops that you can
get if you are overlaping a MVCL, and the instruction is interrupted
(which can happen easily with an MVCL on a multi-processing system).
So imagine what could happen with such an instruction when you went
over a page boundary, the new page had different protection, and you
tried to restart the instruction.

Re: SUSE s390 - Zebra installation problems

2002-11-12 Thread Post, Mark K
Michael,

Since zebra comes on the SuSE distribution, I'm wondering why you're trying
to build it from source?

It sounds like the version of zebra you're compiling has an out-of-date
config.guess and/or config.sub file in it.  That would be why it doesn't
understand s390x-unknown-linux-gnu as a valid system type.  You could try
copying those files from /usr/share/libtool into where ever you find them in
the zebra source tree.

I wasn't able to find either RTM_ADD or RTM_DELETE on my system.  I have a
bunch of RTM_somethings in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/rtnetlink.h, but not
those.

Backups of Linux volume

2002-11-12 Thread Gowans, Chuck
One of the selling points I've been using to promote Linux here is the fact
that it appears to be the first truly cost effective means of transporting
Unix/Linux mid-range systems - affordably - to our hot site.  You know the
drill. the Linux file systems reside on 390 DASD, the same DASD we
subscribe to at hot site...  the hardware is the same so we can run our
guests under VM there also, no need to buy duplicate hardware etc.,
etc,.

Our approach has been that I can use our OS/390 LPAR to touch the z/VM DASD
volumes (temporarily) and get full volume dumps using ADRDSSU.  The full
volumes would contain Linux mini disks for one or more of the Linux guests.
The production OS/390 LPAR can then handle the processing of the tapes for
hot site just like all other OS/390 disaster recovery backups we take - i.e.
they fall into a designated tape rotation to our offsite tape vault, and
subsequently can be pulled for transport to hot site.  Once at hot site, we
should be able to restore these full volume dumps and would have all of our
mini disks back and can then fire up z/VM and the Linux guests.  We are
using the same process to backup the z/VM system volumes.

We are not having good luck getting the Linux systems to boot when we have
tested the restore process here.  We (thought we) understood the need to
have the Linux guest quiesced so we could get a clean dump - and as such
issued a 'sync' command hoping all of the buffers would be written to disk
form the affected guest(s).  What (we think) is apparently happening is that
some level of VM caching is still keeping all of the data from getting
written when we expect it, or - even though it's late at night - there is
still some activity going on in the Linux OS that's corrupting the backups.
The IPLs fail at assorted points in the boot process.  We are thinking that
we now may have to shut down the guests in order to get reliable backups.

My questions relating to this are:

Does this seem like a feasible approach?
Is anyone out there backing up a large number of guests in this, or a
similar manner?  If so, how are you doing it?
Is there a better way to temporarily quiesce a 390-Linux system to get good
copies of the mini disk volumes?

We would like the Linux guests to be available as close to possible to
7x24x365 - meaning we would like to avoid a large backup window type
outage; and we are thinking about buying the point-in-time backup
capability for our DASD subsystems to reduce this window.  The process would
be similar to what I described above except the backups would take seconds
per volume - which would mean the Linux guests could resume work after the
Snap occurred - and the snapped copies could be dumped to tape as the
tape drives became available.

Any help would be appreciated.

The VM minidisk cache is probably getting in your way.  Look at the CP SET
MDCACHE command for ways to flush (or turn off) the cache after you have
quieced Linux.  You can do it on a volume or minidisk basis, depending on
how you do your backups.

Where 7x24x365 is required, you should already have load
balancers/sprayers, etc. in place.  Make sure your web/app server
clusters have minidisks on different volumes so you can take down one
server at a time, yet still maintain the service.

Although I only have two LINUX guests under zVM 3.1, I have an exec that
runs the backups using DDR.  I have the operator shutdown each instance
while they run the backup and at the end the EXEC will ask whether to
IPL(boot) or not.  I successfully recovered both LINUX quests when I went

 capability for our DASD subsystems to reduce this window.  The process
 would
 be similar to what I described above except the backups would take seconds
 per volume - which would mean the Linux guests could resume work after the
 Snap occurred - and the snapped copies could be dumped to tape as the
 tape drives became available.

 Any help would be appreciated.

Pat,

Perhaps it wasn't installed.  If you're running the original SuSE
distribution, you need to go to ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/s390/7.0/sec1 and
download the RPMs there.  You should probably install mod_ssl.rpm,
openssh.rpm and openssl.rpm.  It wouldn't hurt to install the others as
well.  The versions there are old, so you might want to be adventurous and
get the source RPMs from ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/s390/7.0/zq1 and use the
.spec files in them to use as models for building current versions.  (I know
that sounds like a lot of work, and it is.  But, that's what running an old
distribution will cause. :(  )

If you're running the later SuSE distribution, or Red Hat, the needed RPMs
will be amongst the other RPMs for installation.  (CD 1 for SuSE.)

 Funny, they also did the same for a different OS for the 8086. Both part

Oooh! Ooooh! Mister Kotter! I remember those!

The 80130 was a chip that contained an iRMX86 kernel in ROM plus some timer
and I/O support glue. The 80150 contained the core of CPM/86 in the ROM but
was otherwise the same as the 80130. They came in 40-pin DIPs if I recall.
I've still got the databooks around here somewhere, probably.

RMX was actually a pretty decent o.s., when used for its intended purposes.
The 80130 and 80150 never took off in the marketplace, largely because their
mask-programmed ROMs were obsolete too quickly and because EPROMs dropped in
price very rapidly at the same time. Also, both of these chips were quirky
from a hardware design standpoint; I forget the details, but I remember them
being difficult to design-in for one reason or another.

The summer I worked for Intel, I did a lot of sysgens of RMX86 for our big,
powerful servers. You know, those fully-loaded minicomputer chassis with
a whopping 768K of RAM and over 5 megabytes of hard disk on line.

And I've just realized how far this poor thread has drifted off-topic. I'm

 That sounds a lot more drastic a failure than I would expect if the dump

 zany but it works for me

 I hot add a mirror volume to the raid
 I want for a rebuild to finish
 I hot remove it

 at that point its close enough that the ext3 journalling log replay
 should fix it up, and if not fsck will have almost no work to do. I
 guess the right approach if you run LVM would be to make a snapshot and
 back up the snapshot.

 I don't thinkwhat you are doing is impossible, and its a rather
 important item to get right for a 24x7 OS. In the x86 world drbd seems
 to be the popular approach (basically raid over network)

I would expect _some_ problems because you're backing up a filesystem that's
mounted rw. I would expect the filesystem to be marked dirty and so need some
fscking on boot.

Apparently you _can_ do a coherent backup on Linux if you're using LVM.

Red Hat ships with a newer version of RPM than SuSE.  Red Hat has used RPM

are a little different, but using:

Re: Expanded Storage Question

2002-11-12 Thread Robert J Brenneman
It has been said that the VM paging algorithms are tuned for 3 levels of
storage, and you will get better performance by giving VM some XSTORE to
play with. I would start with 5 gig of central and 1 gig of expanded
storage, and play with the ratio from there.

Here is a nice writeup on this:
http://www.vm.ibm.com/perf/tips/storconf.html


Linux can also use expanded storage for a very fast swap device. The xpram
driver will provide access to the xstore as if it were any other block
device. Just modprobe xpram ; mkswap /dev/slram0 ; swapon /dev/slram0 and
away you go.

Paul,

As someone else pointed out, VM still can get some additional performance
out of expanded storage.  Someone else mentioned xpram, but perhaps the best
use is Vdisk for swap.  Linux can swap all it wants to the vdisk, and VM
will see if parts of that aren't being referenced, and page it out to disk.
I'm pretty sure that if you devote part of expanded to xpram, it will all be
marked as unusable by anyone else.

linux/390 support

2002-11-12 Thread Tom Rusnak
Please forgive any ignorance in this question, yet another MVS techie
dipping a toe into the linux world.

We are looking to create a Linux/390 LPAR on an H30 and we are trying to
figure out the support arrangements for the base operating system.

With (MVS, OS/390, Z/OS) we ring up the IBM support center for all operating
system related problems as part of the cost of licensing the operating
system.

What is IBM's arrangement with Linux/390?   IBM (Australia) has told us that
we do not order Linux via IBM but must order through another site,
presumably Red Hat or SUSE.

If we have installation problems I assume that support is presumably given
through the vendor with whom we purchased Linux.

My concern is what happens once we have a production application running on
Linux/390 and we have an operating system failure.

*) Is there any option for getting support from the IBM support center or
IBM Global Services?
*) Is there a 24x7 support arrangement involved?
*) What are typical costs involved with support for Linux/390?
*) What type of support does IBM provide?  Level 1 equivalent or more?
*) How many out there are running production work on Linux/390?
*) Does anyone have any experience or war stories with using linux support
particularly in Sev-1 or Sev-2 situation?

Michael,

Since zebra comes on the SuSE distribution, I'm wondering why you're trying
to build it from source?

It sounds like the version of zebra you're compiling has an out-of-date
config.guess and/or config.sub file in it.  That would be why it doesn't
understand s390x-unknown-linux-gnu as a valid system type.  You could try
copying those files from /usr/share/libtool into where ever you find them in
the zebra source tree.

I wasn't able to find either RTM_ADD or RTM_DELETE on my system.  I have a
bunch of RTM_somethings in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/rtnetlink.h, but not
those.

Hi,  I have been trying to install Zebra on a z/VM-Linux 390 virtual machine
and
have a problem with the make process.

Everything appears to go well until .
