64-bit linux and tomcat
We installed 64-bit linux from SuSE and installed tomcat from the s390x.rpm file that came with the distribution (4.0.4-49). We installed the 64-bit IBM java. Tomcat failed to come up. When we installed the 32-bit IBM java Tomcat comes up fine. I guess I learned that just because a package has an s390x.rpm name doesn't mean it supports 64 bit. Since there is a 64-bit java, does anyone know if there are any plans for a 64-bit version of tomcat?
SCO sues Novell
SCO sues Novell over Unix rights (http://biz.yahoo.com/rc/040120/tech_sco_novell_1.html). SEATTLE, Jan 20 (Reuters) - SCO Group Inc. (NasdaqSC:SCOX http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=scox - News http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=scox) sued Novell Inc. (NasdaqNM:NOVL http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=novl - News http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=novl) on Tuesday, saying the business software maker was blocking its efforts to collect licensing fees from users of Linux, the freely available operating system. SCO, which claims control over the rights to the Unix software system, charges that some parts of Unix are being used illegally in Linux, the operating system that can be copied and modified freely. SCO sued International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ibm - News http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=ibm) last year, saying the world's largest computer company was responsible for infringing on its copyrights by promoting Linux software containing Unix code. Novell and SCO, both based in Utah, have been arguing intermittently over which company controls the copyright to Unix. SCO is demanding that users of Linux, which include large corporations, academic institutions and government agencies, pay a licensing fee or face litigation. SCO said in a statement that it filed suit against Novell for its alleged bad faith effort to interfere with SCO's rights with respect to UNIX and UnixWare. SCO said that Novell had improperly filed copyright registrations and made misleading claims that it owned the rights to Unix. Novell spokesman Bruce Lowry declined to comment on the specifics of the lawsuit, but said, We will be defending our interests. A week ago, Novell announced a program to indemnify customers using its Linux software, which it acquired through the $210 million acquisition of German Linux developer SuSE Linux.

FW: TSM running on a mainframe LINUX engine
This was originally posted on the VSE side but it was suggested I post it here too. We are looking at how to use our 3590s to help speed up our backups of open systems data living on our SHARK. One of the options we are looking at on a new Z800-003 is going ahead and getting a LINUX engine, running Tivoli Storage Manager on it and letting the mainframe/3590/SHARK horsepower speed up our server backups. One group of vendors says they want us to use a AIX platform for TSM while another says the LINUX platform on the Z800 will be the best bet. Has anyone played with any of these scenarios?

Re: Nagios - CPU and Memory monitoring?
MIB=Management Information Base. That's the tree structure of elements SNMP provides. An OID (Object Identifier) is a particular element in the tree. It has a number like .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.101 that defines it's place in the tree. Many (but not all) also have names, like system.sysDescr.0, and system.sysUpTime.0 The O'Rielly book Essential SNMP gives a pretty good overview of how SNMP works. The nagios plugin check_snmp calls a program calles snmpget to retrieve single element values and checks them against provided limits. If you want to do anything fancy (like retrieve related name/value pairs in corresponding branches), you need to write a script that uses snmpget. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ranga Nathan Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 2:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] Nagios - CPU and Memory monitoring?

CUNY's small foray into Linux
City University Purchases Largest IBM zSeries for Linux Workload City University of New York (CUNY), the largest urban university in the United States, recently inked a deal with IBM for the largest IBM zSeries system ever purchased for a Linux workload - a z990 Model 316 with 15 Integrated Facilities for Linux (IFLs) and one processor dedicated to a z/OS workload. The Linux workload will include email, voicemail, calendaring and BlackBerry wireless handheld devices for 260,000 users. The IBM solution meets CUNY's goals because it delivers state-of-the art technology, cross-campus consolidation and compatibility on one server, consolidating old workloads and new onto one z990. The consolidation provides excellent total cost of ownership and streamlines future procurement and growth.

I'll bet this makes Arty Ecock happy. :) Mark Post -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ferguson, Neale Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 4:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CUNY's small foray into Linux City University Purchases Largest IBM zSeries for Linux Workload City University of New York (CUNY), the largest urban university in the United States, recently inked a deal with IBM for the largest IBM zSeries system ever purchased for a Linux workload - a z990 Model 316 with 15 Integrated Facilities for Linux (IFLs) and one processor dedicated to a z/OS workload. The Linux workload will include email, voicemail, calendaring and BlackBerry wireless handheld devices for 260,000 users. The IBM solution meets CUNY's goals because it delivers state-of-the art technology, cross-campus consolidation and compatibility on one server, consolidating old workloads and new onto one z990. The consolidation provides excellent total cost of ownership and streamlines future procurement and growth.
Re: OSA-2 sharing between Linux LPARS
There is probably more than one way to make this happen but for OSA-2 to support multiple LPARs on the same interface or port you must configure the OSA-2 using OSA-SF. I have been fortunate enough that I have not needed to do this so I can't help with any of the specifics, sorry. IBM has a pretty good red book OSA-2 Implementation Guide that should be able to walk you thru the configuration.

The first LPAR that I activate owns the OSA-2 adapter and the second LPAR does not have network access.

Re: SCO sues Novell
SCO said in a statement that it filed suit against Novell for its alleged bad faith effort to interfere with SCO's rights with respect to UNIX and UnixWare. Interesting. I was wondering when the Continental Airlines strategy would appear. (background: Continental proved in the 1980s that if you're going to go bankrupt, the way to do it is to go over the top in a spectacular blaze of debt and public stupidity first. You then get bailed out by investment groups, and go on to lose even more money with different kinds of stupidity until you eventually reach the point of no return and depend on Federal bailouts to attempt to do it again. ) 100% homegrown market/share price gaming at work. -- db
Re: looking for down load site for: Java JRE 1.3.0 Linux S390
I have LDAP installed with no problems and it is working. I need to use the directory management tool (dmt) that is part of the LDAP package and it requires Java JRE 1.3.0. It looks like the java delivered with LDAP is broken. The resolve is to download a good Java JRE 1.3.0. I enter dmt at the Linux prompt to invoke a graphical interface for the tool.

Re: TSM running on a mainframe LINUX engine
Without reopening the discussion about Tivoli's past policies and failings, TSM on 390 makes most sense when backing up Linux guests on the same frame over hipersockets to z/OS (the only really reliable TSM on 390 with any future or sensible configuration options). Getting enough bandwidth over the LAN for large scale backups is difficult, and the TSM code on the mainframe does not have a number of the later enhancements. It also implies some significant impact on your current hardware configuration. Hate to say it, but you're probably better off with the AIX box, or another backup solution than TSM. Contact me off list if you'd like to discuss some other options. -- db David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mike Moore Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 11:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FW: TSM running on a mainframe LINUX engine This was originally posted on the VSE side but it was suggested I post it here too. We are looking at how to use our 3590s to help speed up our backups of open systems data living on our SHARK. One of the options we are looking at on a new Z800-003 is going ahead and getting a LINUX engine, running Tivoli Storage Manager on it and letting the mainframe/3590/SHARK horsepower speed up our server backups. One group of vendors says they want us to use a AIX platform for TSM while another says the LINUX platform on the Z800 will be the best bet. Has anyone played with any of these scenarios?
