Re: Hipersockets and DB/2

2005-04-14 Thread dclark
When DB/2 starts it (via smoke and mirrors) communicates with TCP/IP and
issues a gethostid() request.  In the tcpip(profile) configuration I did not
have a primaryinterface parameter set and therefore the system defaulted to
the first interface found in the Home stanza which was my hipersocket
definition.

My fix was to assign primaryinterface lcs0 sans quotes which points to my
OSA and the external world and to change the order of the hosts to have the
primary adapter first.

Everything is fine now.

Subject: Re: Problems loading IBMtape into kernel


One possibility is that you might need to run depmod -a manually.
It's possible the module requires another module to be loaded first.  If
so, depmod -a to rebuild the dependency files, followed by a
modprobe
command (_not_ insmod) might do the trick.

If not, I would say that the module wasn't compiled against the version
of the kernel you're running, even though it is labeled as such.

OpenMosix update

2005-04-14 Thread Adam Thornton
There's a new OpenMosix out, that moves a great deal of the patch from
kernel to userspace.
http://freshmeat.net/projects/openmosix/?
branch_id=21918release_id=193392
Most notable is that this should make a PPC port much easier.  It's
been my experience that if you can build it on both PPC and Intel, then
a zSeries or S390 port is usually pretty straightforward because the
word size and endianness issues have been worked out and those parts
where it makes a difference are usually pretty cleanly factored out.

 Subject:  Maintaining SLES9 Colonies?
 
 I am revisiting this again. I implemented a basevol/guestvol system
 similar to what is
 described at http://linuxvm.org/present/misc/basevol.html . This has
 worked for our SLES 8. We now have SLES9 guest up and running and I am
 wondering if we should continue under this methodology. Some say yes, some
 say no.
 
 Out intent is to reduce man hours to apply individual maintenance to each
 Linux Guest or product. Since SLES9 is different, the basevol/guestvol R/O
 scripts do not quite fit. I do not know if this methodology even applies
 to SLES 9.
 
 There is also a local YOU server I believe with SLES 9 that Linux guests
 can be configured to use for updates. But this means that each Linux guest
 must have r/w Linux root file system.
 
 Is there a recommended or official recommendation for maintaining z/VM
 Linux colonies? I appreciate any recommendations, philosophies, and/or
 experiences. As always, thanks.

Re: I want to change Logo Config of z/VM V5.1

2005-04-14 Thread José Raúl Barón Rodríguez
Hi, K. 
Luckily it's not too difficult. These are the steps you should follow: 

First you have to edit file SYSTEM CONFIG. This file is in MAINT CF1. To
achieve this you have to perform: 

- Logon to MAINT
- Vmfsetup zvm cp
- q cpdisk


You will see something like: 

Label  Userid   Vdev Mode Stat Vol-ID Rdev Type   StartLoc EndLoc

MNTCF1 MAINT0CF1  A   R/O  310RES 0441 CKD 326360

MNTCF2 MAINT0CF2  B   R/O  310RES 0441 CKD 361395

Ready;


- cprelease a  
  CPRELEASE request for disk A scheduled.  
  HCPZAC6730I CPRELEASE request for disk A completed.  
  Ready;   

- link maint cf1 cf1 mr  
  Ready;

- acc cf1 z  
  Ready; 

- Edit SYSTEM CONFIG and locate the Logo_Config line

 SYSTEM   CONFIG   W1  F 80  Trunc=72 Size=426 Line=400 Col=1 Alt=0



|...+1+2+3+4+5+6+7.

 

 Logo_Config   LOGOCONFIG -- This is the file that contains
the logos.   


- Now edit your LOGO CONFIG file and modify it as you need, for example:


 LOGO CONFIG   W1  V 80  Trunc=72 Size=63 Line=20 Col=1 Alt=0   
   
|...+1+2+3+4+5+6+7.

/*---*

 CHOOSE_LOGO LOCAL  GESLOC LOGO   -- This is the file for the
LOCAL LOGO.  

/** 
 * Logical Device Logo Definition * 
 **/

 CHOOSE_LOGO LDEV   GESLDEV LOGO  -- These are the files you
have to customize  

etc. etc.

Once you finish: 

- release z (detach   
  DASD 0CF1 DETACHED  
  Ready;  

- cpaccess maint cf1 a sr

  CPACCESS request for mode A scheduled.

  Ready;

  HCPZAC6732I CPACCESS request for MAINT's 0CF1 in mode A completed.

 

- q cpdisk

  Label  Userid   Vdev Mode Stat Vol-ID Rdev Type   StartLoc EndLoc

Hipersocket Frame size

2005-04-14 Thread Mark D Vandale
Does anyone have any suggestions or guidlines on selecting a frame size in
the definition of hipersockets ?  I did read in the zSeries Hipersockets
that the default Frame size is 16KB, compared with a maximum of 9KB for a
Gigabyte Ethernet.  But Hipersockets can also be defined as 24, 40 or 64KB.
The selection depends on the data characteristics transported over a
Hipersockets, which is a trade-off between performance and storage
allocation.

I want the best performance so what information do I need about the data to
determine what frame size to define, and how much storage will I use if I
define as 64KB ?  All I have right now is that a client wants to transfer
large amounts of data between z/OS and Linux but I don't have any details
about how large.  Is this main storage taken out of the total available on
the processor or does it require more storage for each lpar to accomidate
the hipersocket definitions ?

I appreciate any suggestions.



Thanks,
Mark Vandale

Unless they went backwards in 5.1 it *is*not* necesssary
to logoff maint or restart z/VM. The new logo becomes active
as soon as CP re-accesses it.

Hi, K.
Luckily it's not too difficult. These are the steps you should follow:

First you have to edit file SYSTEM CONFIG. This file is in MAINT CF1. To
achieve this you have to perform:

- Logon to MAINT
- Vmfsetup zvm cp
- q cpdisk


You will see something like:

Label  Userid   Vdev Mode Stat Vol-ID Rdev Type   StartLoc EndLoc

MNTCF1 MAINT0CF1  A   R/O  310RES 0441 CKD 326360

MNTCF2 MAINT0CF2  B   R/O  310RES 0441 CKD 361395

Ready;


- cprelease a
  CPRELEASE request for disk A scheduled.
  HCPZAC6730I CPRELEASE request for disk A completed.
  Ready;

- link maint cf1 cf1 mr
  Ready;

- acc cf1 z
  Ready;

- Edit SYSTEM CONFIG and locate the Logo_Config line

 SYSTEM   CONFIG   W1  F 80  Trunc=72 Size=426 Line=400 Col=1 Alt=0



|...+1+2+3+4+5+6+7.



 Logo_Config   LOGOCONFIG -- This is the file that contains
the logos.


- Now edit your LOGO CONFIG file and modify it as you need, for example:


 LOGO CONFIG   W1  V 80  Trunc=72 Size=63 Line=20 Col=1 Alt=0

|...+1+2+3+4+5+6+7.

/*---*
 * Local Display Logo Definition *
 *---*/

 CHOOSE_LOGO LOCAL  GESLOC LOGO   -- This is the file for the
LOCAL LOGO.

/**
 * Logical Device Logo Definition *
 **/

 CHOOSE_LOGO LDEV   GESLDEV LOGO  -- These are the files you
have to customize

etc. etc.

Once you finish:

- release z (detach
  DASD 0CF1 DETACHED
  Ready;

- cpaccess maint cf1 a sr

  CPACCESS request for mode A scheduled.

  Ready;

  HCPZAC6732I CPACCESS request for MAINT's 0CF1 in mode A completed.



- q cpdisk

  Label  Userid   Vdev Mode Stat Vol-ID Rdev Type   StartLoc EndLoc

  MNTCF1 MAINT0CF1  A   R/O  310RES 0441 CKD 326360

  MNTCF2 MAINT0CF2  B   R/O  310RES 0441 CKD 361395

Re: Problems loading IBMtape into kernel

2005-04-14 Thread Christoph Arenz
Josh,

chatting with some developer, I got the following information:

It looks like the Linux middle level scsi driver scsi_mod.o is not loaded.
zfcp may not loaded into the kernel, either.  Try the following:

 lsmod (check output, see if scsi_mod and zfcp are there)
modprobe scsi_mod
modprobe zfcp
modprobe IBMtape

Can you let us know whether the mid scsi stack modules are loaded?
What is the result of the commands above?

Kind Regards
Christoph

If you're running VM, you can certainly divide your mod-27 up into a
whole lot of minidisks, and then use them as separate devices.  No
Linux-level LVM required.
If you're not, it might be possible to create a volume group with just
a single extent in it and then divide that into multiple logical
volumes, but I don't see what benefit you would gain from that.

Re: Can I make LVM by 1 DASD?

2005-04-14 Thread Mrohs, Ray
You can split up the DASD into equally sized minidisks and if you stripe the LV,
then Linux will initiate multiple I/Os across howewever many physical volumes
(minidisks) you have in the group. Depending on how many paths there are to the
mod-27 device, there may be a performance benefit(?).

Really silly SSH question.

2005-04-14 Thread McKown, John
Just for grins and giggles, I created an SSH private key/public key
pair. I can now use PuTTY to logon to Linux without using my Linux
password. Instead, I must use a Passphrase. What have I gained? I did
replace my password with a passphrase, but how is that more secure? I
don't see a way to say: This passphrase must be used when doing an SSH
from that incoming IP address. Am I missing something? (very likely). I
could use a different private/public key for each server that I use SSH
with, I guess. But I've only got one server, so far.

Oh well, it was a learning experience, I guess.

I have never tried this, but I believe if you don't specify a
passphrase your private key is not encrypted on the HD and you won't
be prompted for it.

Have you tried generating a pair without giving a passphrase?

A passphrase is a password to access your private LOCAL key.
The passph is used locally to access your local (on your PC) private
key. A cracker with only the passph will get nowhere (as opposed to
password authentication, where the password is all he needs). He has
to have both the passph AND the key (which means he will have to crack
your local PC to steal it) which is stored in your local computer.

The authentication (server side) is done by using the private key
(which is encrypted locally with a passphrase).

For added security you can also have your key on a physical smart card
(in that case you need a card reader on your PC). Then a cracker will
need both your card and the passph.

Re: Really silly SSH question.

2005-04-14 Thread Post, Mark K
Many systems administrators do _not_ enable logging in via SSH with
passwords.  Key pairs are required.

If you used a good passphrase, you've gained more security.  A good
passphrase will be almost 100% impossible to guess or brute-force.

If you wish, you can change the passphrase on your private key, and never
have to sign in to any other system to do it.  (Most people never do this,
but it is possible.)

You can create separate key pairs for various systems.  It's not required,
but some people like the idea.

If you have a number of people that need access to a particular userid for
some reason, if they have key pairs, each person can log in with their key
pair, and never have to know what the password on the account is (or what
each other's passphrase is).

The list goes on.  In general, a key pair with a really good password is
much, much more secure and flexible than a password.

Just for grins and giggles, I created an SSH private key/public key pair. I
can now use PuTTY to logon to Linux without using my Linux password.
Instead, I must use a Passphrase. What have I gained? I did replace my
password with a passphrase, but how is that more secure? I don't see a way
to say: This passphrase must be used when doing an SSH from that incoming
IP address. Am I missing something? (very likely). I could use a different
private/public key for each server that I use SSH with, I guess. But I've
only got one server, so far.

Oh well, it was a learning experience, I guess.

I see a flaw in your logic here.  If you don't want to type anything to access 
a remote system then your local computer needs to store all the information 
needed to access the remote system.  Anyone that has access to your system can 
steal this information.  If you don't want to store this information then you 
will need to type something every time.

Unix passwords are traditionally limited to 8 characters.  No such
restriction exists on passphrase length.  Mine is somewhere in the 40
or 50 character range, I believe.  Very, very difficult to brute-force.

Hum, I guess I didn't say that very well. My comment on the use of the
passphrase was more how is a passphrase more secure than a password?
than I don't want to type a passphrase. That has been answered.
Another person indicated that the passphrase is only used LOCALLY and
not sent to the server onto which I am logging. From more reading,
apparently what is sent to the server is a one time cert or some such
thing. So somebody intercepting that wouldn't be able to access the
server. I'm learning, albeit slowly.

Right now my private key file is on a USB flash drive, which is on a
chain around my neck. The file is definitely NOT on my Windows desktop
at work! I'll only plug it in when I want to SSH onto the Linux system.

Now to see how to setup SSH on the server to disallow passwords, as
indicated in another message.

I haven't built one, nor have I tried using a 2.6 kernel with Woody.
Your best bet at the moment is to install Sarge
(http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-s390/rc3/
images/) and then upgrade the kernel with apt.  I have used 2.6 kernels
with Sarge, and once you get past the different device nomenclature,
it's quite straightforward.
Sine Nomine *will* be releasing a Sarge distribution, as soon as Sarge
is released by the Debian project as the new stable (plus a little
while to package it a nice VM-based installer).

Josh,

chatting with some developer, I got the following information:

It looks like the Linux middle level scsi driver scsi_mod.o is not
loaded.
zfcp may not loaded into the kernel, either.  Try the following:

 lsmod (check output, see if scsi_mod and zfcp are there) modprobe 
scsi_mod modprobe zfcp modprobe IBMtape

Can you let us know whether the mid scsi stack modules are loaded?
What is the result of the commands above?

No, that has nothing to do with it.  Non-GPL modules can call any kernel
function they way.  This message was added to direct people with non-GPL
modules to the people that wrote them, and not expect the kernel developers
to figure out the problem.  They didn't write it, they may or may not have
the source code for it, so don't bother them, essentially.

Christoph,

I doubt that will work.  The whole idea of the depmod/modprobe commands is
to avoid having to do stuff like that.

Josh,

chatting with some developer, I got the following information:

It looks like the Linux middle level scsi driver scsi_mod.o is not loaded.
zfcp may not loaded into the kernel, either.  Try the following:

 lsmod (check output, see if scsi_mod and zfcp are there)
modprobe scsi_mod
modprobe zfcp
modprobe IBMtape

Can you let us know whether the mid scsi stack modules are loaded?
What is the result of the commands above?

Kind Regards
Christoph

Josh,

Try this again as depmod -ae so that it will tell you exactly what
unresolved symbols there are.  (I suspect they're going to match what the
modprobe command reported, but it's worth a shot.)

In the meantime, have you opened a support incident with your support
provider?

Mark, thanks for the reply

I tried as you suggested and ran depmod.  Here's what I got then.

primvr2p:~ # depmod -a
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.21-273-default/kernel/drivers/scsi/IBMtape.o

I don't know what this means.  Do I need the kernel sources installed also?

You need to create a static /dev/console node.  I think it's a
character device, major 5 minor 1.  Also, your DASD spec will have
changed.  Instead of dasd=150-155 or whatever, it'd be
dasd=0.0.150-0.0.155.  Don't forget to rerun zipl.
Further, there are some changes to the chandev layer to get your
network devices working again with the new group devices stuff.
I did that with the creation of a file /etc/groupdev, and the following
script (/etc/init.d/groupdev.sh):
#
# groupdev.sh  S/390 module initialization parameters
#
# Must run before networking but after udev.
#

And /etc/groupdev contains:

Why read-only filesystem?

I just cloned a new SLES9 server in VM from another, working (shut-down) SLES9

When I bring it up, however, the boot disk comes up read-only.

The VM directory shows the disk as MR.

There isn't anything in /etc/zipl.conf or /etc/fstab that would indicate this

 Just for grins and giggles, I created an SSH private key/public key

 password. Instead, I must use a Passphrase. What have I gained?

The keystrokes authorizing the use of the key do not pass over the network,
and they are not incorporated in the values used to authenticate other than
to select wihich authenticator is transmitted to the remote system.

Makes it a lot harder to intercept traffic or your authentication keys
without physical access to your computer.

Re: Really silly SSH question.

 For added security you can also have your key on a physical smart card
 (in that case you need a card reader on your PC). Then a cracker will
 need both your card and the passph.

This is a great way to use small-size USB memory drives, BTW.

If you're clever about it, you can also store other personal configuration
files on the same drive, making it easy to move your settings with you.

2005-04-14 Thread Richard Troth
   Instead, I must use a Passphrase. What have I gained?

John ...

I'm not a security expert,
but I believe those who are would put it something like this:
You have more security now because there are TWO things required
for you to connect to the remote system:  what you KNOW (same as
before, but perhaps now longer) and what you HAVE (private key).

A traditional password is what you KNOW.
A passphrase is not a lot different,  as you point out,
except that it is much longer in practice,  and that's a Good Thing.

The private key is a what you HAVE.   It's like a SecurID card.
It's a VERY VALUABLE thing.   Protect it!   As others have said,
with no passphrase on your private key (your local key to PuTTY
or your secret key of the pair) you can automate signing on,
and that's useful,  but dangerous.   But WITH a passphrase,
someone acquiring your secret key has a much more difficult
time breaking in.   You want to avoid that theft,
but you have some protection in case it happens.

The public key matches your private key but does not expose it.
The public key can be swiped from the remote host,  and you have
lost nothing.   (Except that there may have been a compromise of
that system which allowed the rogue to get that key.  But that's
really a different problem.)   Someone taking your public key could
arrange for you to get access to THEIR system(s),  and that's no win
for them.   This is subtle:  Traditional password sign-on requires
that some secret must be shared between you and the target system.
That's a secret which can be taken by a bad guy.   Public key is a HUGE
improvement, reducing the value of stealing info from the target system.

So there are two things:  what you KNOW and what you HAVE,
and that's a big improvement.   Further,  the KNOWn part is removed
from the system(s) you're signing onto.   (That is,  the passphrase
is never stored on any target system,  but is always local
to where the secret key (private key) is held.)

Does this help?

 And /etc/groupdev contains:

 #  qeth is the only one I know about right now.
 #
 #  for qeth, rest is
 #  read-device write-device data-device online
 #  where the devices are four-digit hex
 addresses,
 #  and online is 1 or 0 for whether the
 device should be
 #on- or offline

 qeth0340034103421
 qeth0344034503461

 Hope this helps.

Well, definitely run mkinitrd.  See if that helps.  Although I'm
running my 2.6 systems with no initrd, but then I also built the kernel
from source on them too, and made sure I didn't need an initrd.

Re: problems with kernel 2.6

2005-04-14 Thread Lizbeth Ortiz
i've doesnt yet try to play with mkinitrd (thats gonna
be tomorrow), i've tried to install sarge from
scratch, and now...

i've installed sarge from zero, no dist-upgrade or
anything else, just from scratch, and after that, i've
installed kernel-image-2.6-s390x via apt, the news
is that it doesnt require initrd, so i've rebooted the
vm, and after that, i've received the following:

VFS: Cannot open root device dasda2 or
unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct root= boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 00020001
8000  0030949E

i've modified zipl.conf (now the parm line isnt in
/boot/parmfile, it is in zipl.conf) from:
parameters = ro vmpoff=LOGOFF dasd=201
root=/dev/dasda2

to:
parameters = ro vmpoff=LOGOFF dasd=0.0.0201
root=/dev/dasda2

and its the same, the problem is that kernel 2.6
doesnt see dasda2, how could i resolve this?

thanks

Re: Really silly SSH question.

2005-04-14 Thread Istvan Nemeth
If you use PuTTY on Windows you can install Pageant (this is included in 
the installer package), and load your key (and type your passpharse) only 
_one time_ (when Pageant is running), and than you can logon to every 
system without passwords.

Linux on 390 Port LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU rta 2005.04.14 20:11:13 
idpontban:

 Just for grins and giggles, I created an SSH private key/public key
 pair. I can now use PuTTY to logon to Linux without using my Linux
 password. Instead, I must use a Passphrase. What have I gained? I did
 replace my password with a passphrase, but how is that more secure? I
 don't see a way to say: This passphrase must be used when doing an SSH
 from that incoming IP address. Am I missing something? (very likely). I
 could use a different private/public key for each server that I use SSH
 with, I guess. But I've only got one server, so far.
 
 Oh well, it was a learning experience, I guess.
