Re: Installing Sles9 with sp1

2005-05-09 Thread Ihno Krumreich
hi,

to check which packages from which service pack are installed
use the tool SPindent. This is shipped with SLES 9 and every SP.

just call

s390z08:~ # SPident  -v -v

and you get an info which packages are at which service pack
level.

It would be good to look at the actual command line for the rpm
command, e.g. with ps -axf or in the /proc entry for the process that
is chewing away. It could be cron kicks off an rpm -V or maybe there
is a continuous attempt to retrieve updates?

Re: How to share TCPIP and VSwitch from level 1 to level 2

2005-05-09 Thread David Boyes
Well, they're two separate systems (that's what virtualization buys
you). If you want them to communicate, they need a TCP stack.

You could define one VSWITCH 1st level and attach the NICs from the 2nd
level system, but you still need a TCP stack for the NICs to talk to.

Suggestion: Define the VSWITCH 1st level. On 1st level system, grant the
level 2 userid access to the VSWITCH.

1st level: Create at least two NICs with the NICDEF statemetn in the
directory entry for the level 2 userid and couple them to the VSWITCH
either manually or in the PROFILE EXEC for the level 2 userid.

2nd level: Create a VSWITCH. Configure 2nd level TCPIP to control this
vswitch using one of the NICs you defined in the directory entry

2nd level: configure TCPIP to use one of the NICs you defined int the
1st level directory entry. It will look like a real OSA to this stack.
Assign it an address appropriate with the 1st level VSWITCH.

2nd level: treat it the same as your 1st level system and define stuff
for guests, etc.

If you think about the 2nd level VSWITCH as plugging in a small switch
to your bigger network and using that for local traffic, you'll see how
it works quickly.

> 1 and level 2 z/VM?

If what you want to achieve is to have the 1st and 2nd level guests in the
same IP subnet, you could do it a few ways...

1) At the first level directory, add one NICDEF statement for each of the
  guests in your second level z/VM to the directory entry for the 2nd level
  z/VM.  The NICDEFs will attach the NICs to your VSWITCH.  Inside the 2nd level
  system the virtual NICs will appear as a lot of OSAs -- DEDICATE the triplet
  for each of them to one of your 2nd level guests.
2) At the first level directory, add one NICDEF statement with DEVICES as large
  as you can make it to the directory entry for your second level z/VM.  The
  NICDEF will attache the NIC to your VSWITCH.  Inside the 2nd level system you
  would see a single OSA, but you DEDICATE a triplet to each of your 2nd level
  guests thereby sharing the virtual OSA between all your 2nd level guests.

Those two both use the VSWITCH defined at the 1st level, but there are a couple
of ways to get the end result by using a VSWITCH inside 2nd-level:

3) At the first level directory, add one NICDEF statement to the directory
  entry for your second level z/VM.  Inside the 2nd level system, create a
  VSWITCH that connects to the virtual OSA.  Connect all your 2nd level guests
  to the 2nd level VSWITCH.
4) At the first level directory, DEDICATE a triplet from the real OSA through
  to the 2nd level system.  Inside the 2nd level system, create a VSWITCH that
  connects to the real OSA.  Connect all your 2nd level guests to the 2nd
  level VSWITCH.

Note that 1) is pretty much guaranteed to work, but is the most resource-
-intensive (system and sys-prog) method.  2), 3) and 4) I've never done, but
should work just fine.

Of course if your secondary objective is to not run a TCPIP stack at all in 2nd
level, disregard 3) and 4) (the 2nd-level VSWITCH obviously requires it).  In
this case, I'm sure you already realise that you'll only be able to reach
consoles at 2nd level by DIALling from 1st level... :)

Vic Cross

Re: How to share TCPIP and VSwitch from level 1 to level 2

2005-05-09 Thread Rich Smrcina
Sure if you have a NICDEF in the directory entry for your second level
VM, as far as second level goes it is a real QDIO device triplet and can
be treated as such.  You could probably even nest VSwitches (where the
second level address is a second level vswitch).

NFS question

2005-05-09 Thread dclark
I want to setup under Linux the ability to mount an hfs filesystem exported
by our zOS 1.4 system but I cannot get the configuration correct for zOS.  I
have tried diligently to follow the configuration process found in the "z/OS
V1R2. Network File Systems Customization and Operations" manual (pub no.
SC26-7417-02) but without any luck.

I believe I have NFS installed correctly (including support for UNICODE) but
I can't seem to get the EXPORT process to make a filesystem available.  Can
someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Doug

It is my understanding that SLES9 layer 2 support is broken.  There is a
developerWorks patch that was picked up for SLES8, but hasn't been picked
up for SLES9 (that is, hasn't been put in a service pack).  I don't know
which patch fixed the problem.

I have heard from others that Novelle knows about the problem.  If you
have a support contract, ask them for the fix.  Otherwise, try layer 3.

Re: Tape 3490

My experience is that the tar command (and most other commands) on any Linux or
Unix can not handle end of volume well. Your approach of specifying a size so
that tar never gets to the end of the tape is a good approach to the problem for
any system. If tar reaches the end of tape either you need to put less on each
tape or get a bigger tape.

Subject: Tape 3490


Hi all,

anyone knows how to use 3490 tapes to backup a very large file?


This is our /proc/tapedevices

sistemaslinux:/ # cat /proc/tapedevices
TapeNo  DevNo   CuType  CuModel DevType DevMod  BlkSize State   Op
MedState
0   0181349052  349052  autoUNUSED  ---

but when we try to rewind the tape

sistemaslinux: # mt -f /dev/tap0/0181/char/nonrewinding rewind
mt: /dev/tap0/0181/char/nonrewinding: Not a directory

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

System resource use?

2005-05-09 Thread Campbell, Breck
We are running SuSE SLES 8 under z/VM on our z800, and have noticed that
their the LINUX machines have been using lots of system resources during off
hours.  When I VPNed into one of the boxes and ran TOP I noticed that rpm
was the biggest user of resources.  The question is, Why would rpm be
running on an otherwise idle system?

Re: Java compiler for Linux on Z/800

2005-05-09 Thread Smith, Ann (ISD, IT)
As far as Java SDK goes the performance is much better for 1.4 than 1.3.

Mark,
 We have been asked to set-up a web portals on our Mainframe Linux LPAR.
I did some looking around and came across the Apache Portals project
(http://portals.apache.org/). It had a tutorial on setting-up a portal,
which called for the following prerequisites...

1. Install a Java compiler (1.3 or greater)
2. Install Ant (1.5 or greater)
3. Install Maven
4. Install Tomcat 4 (4.1.12 or higher (last tested on 4.1.30)) or Tomcat
5
5. Install Jetspeed (1.5 release or higher). Release 1.5

John Romanowski provided a link to the IBM Java SDK in an earlier reply,
which I have downloaded and am preparing to install. Is their any
advantage to on of these compilers over the other?
So now I am just trying to follow the cookbook and locate each of
the above ingredients to make it all come together. Has anyone else
set-up this project on their mainframe Linux? Would be interested in
hearing your experiences.

Thank you,
Lance Longstreth

Do you want/need a Java _compiler_, or a Java SDK, or just the Java
runtime (JRE)?

If you want a compiler, the GNU Compiler Collection contains one, named
gcj.  If you want the SDK or JRE, IBM provides those here:
http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/lxdk/lxdk-p

Downloading them will require no-cost registration.

Does anyone have a link that they could share, were I can get a copy of
a Java compiler that will run on a Z/800 LPAR running Linux suse sles 8?
My understanding is that it must be specific to the platform it will be
installed on or it will not work.
