Re: IP weirdness

Thank you for your explanation and the URL, Vic.

I'd like to check it - if www.vm.ibm.com goes online again :-)
It seems to be off-line since last Friday or Saturday :-(

Does anybody know the reason - or is it only specific German/European
problem ?

Hi, Lutz.

www.vm.ibm.com has moved from 204.146.134.198 to 204.146.134.18.

DNS updates are working their way through the Internet, so it's not just
a German/European problem.

You're welcome, Lutz.

There was a discussion over the weekend on the VM-ESA list about why it
takes so long for DNS updates to propagate. It has to do with the TTL

Re: USER DIRECT file USE ?@ word displayed.

2005-08-08 Thread Dennis Wicks
Two things I learned way back on SP1 were; Don't make volumes CP-owned
unless they need to be, and don't change the file *type*. This is the
source of the confusion here.

When the file type is DIRECT then XEDIT will set the config to not
display the sequence area, and other things. In this case the file type
has been changed so XEDIT is treating it as just a general 80 character
file, and line wrap is the result.

Mr. mainframe_s390 really needs to get some VM-101 training. It will
save him a lot of pain and agony and eliminate a lot of his confusion.

DB2 Data Truncation

2005-08-08 Thread José Raúl Barón Rodríguez
Hi, list. 
I currently have 2 zVM 4.4 partitions running in a zSeries. One of them
is running in an IFL.

Under my zVM IFL system I have installed: 

- SLES9
- DB2 ESE 8

and have connected DB2 ESE to my existing DB2 in the CP zVM. 
I have successfully migrated my DB2/VM database into DB2 ESE under SLES9
and I have connected DB2 VM with DB2 ESE to be able to query my database
under LINUX. But to my surprise all the CHAR and DATE type fields are
returned only half of their length, that is: 

- CHAR(20) returns a CHAR(10) string.
- CHAR(9)  returns a CHAR(5) string.
- DATE returns a 5 char long date string. (e.g. 2005-)

DECIMAL fields do not have this problem. 

Has anyone had the same (or similar) problem ?
Any ideas will be very welcome.



Greetings,

SLES 9 SP 2 install problem...

2005-08-08 Thread Nix, Robert P.
I'm trying to install using SLES 9 Service Pack 2. I get the first part of the 
installation done, and the system shuts down. I then boot from the new /boot 
drive, and it starts to come up, but then complains about bad superblocks in 
the root file system, and comes up to single user mode asking for the root 
password and wanting to fix the problem.

If I start from SLES 9 base, I can do the install without problem.

I'm not sure what is going wrong in the SP 2 install, and was wondering if 
anyone else has seen this.

I am trying to set up /boot as its own minidisk, and two physical volumes in a 
volume group, divided into swap and the root file system. I have an additional 
two volume volume group for the users to install their applications in. 
Everything except swap is ext3.

Re: Samba - multiple connections from a Windows box

2005-08-08 Thread Jon Brock
We are indeed using different userids and passwords for the different shares, 
since these shares are used for storing images of medical forms and such.  My 
Win2K system is as up to date as I can make it -- I can't find any outstanding 
updates to be applied.  I found a couple of user group posts of other folks 
havin the same problem: it seems to be strictly NT and 2000.  

Seems screwy to me.

Thanks,
Jon

The only time I have seen this is when I tried to access network shares
and used different userids and passwords.  If you're not doing that,
then I would make sure your Win2K system is completely up to date, or
try a Windows XP system.

OK, thanks for the confirmation.  We will have to take this into account in any 
future plans.

This has been a (deliberate) limitation in Windows for quite a while.
The OS designers didn't expect anyone would have a legitimate reason to
connect to the same server with different authentication credentials.
Whether this was a good design idea or not is debatable, but the end
result is not: you can't do that.  I suppose you could play games with
your hosts file on the Windows system.  Creating many host names, all
with the same IP address would probably get around the issue.

mksles9root.sh - SP2 files included but not SP1

2005-08-08 Thread James Melin
Does SLES9 SP2 superceed SP1? OR do I need SP1 applied before SP2 on a
*new* SLES9 system?

I see the messages from the mksles9root script that it foudn SP2 CD images
and built them into the install tree. Just was surprised it's not
programmed to include SP1 as well.

I started out with:

.  SLES-9-SP-2-s390x-GM-CD3.iso
SLES-9-s390-RC5a-CD1.iso  SLES-9-s390x-RC5a-CD1.iso
.. SLES-9-s390-RC5-CD2.iso
SLES-9-s390x-RC5-CD2.iso  mksles9root.sh
SLES-9-SP-1-s390x-RC5-CD1.iso  SLES-9-s390-RC5-CD3.iso
SLES-9-s390x-RC5-CD3.iso
SLES-9-SP-1-s390x-RC5-CD2.iso  SLES-9-s390-RC5-CD4.iso
SLES-9-s390x-RC5-CD4.iso
SLES-9-SP-2-s390x-GM-CD1.iso   SLES-9-s390-RC5-CD5.iso
SLES-9-s390x-RC5-CD5.iso
SLES-9-SP-2-s390x-GM-CD2.iso   SLES-9-s390-RC5-CD6.iso
SLES-9-s390x-RC5-CD6.iso

In the directory I built to hold all of the CD images.

I also see that it built a directory sles9root but it's containign broken
symbolic links

drwxr-xr-x6 root root 4096 Aug  8 10:27 ./
drwxr-xr-x3 root root 4096 Aug  8 10:27 ../
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   14 Aug  8 10:27 boot -
sles9/CD1/boot
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   17 Aug  8 10:27 content -
sles9/CD1/content
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   21 Aug  8 10:27 control.xml -
sles9/CD1/control.xml
drwxr-xr-x7 root root 4096 Aug  8 10:26 core9/
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   22 Aug  8 10:27 driverupdate -
sp2-9/CD1/driverupdate
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   15 Aug  8 10:27 linux -
sp2-9/CD1/linux
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   17 Aug  8 10:27 media.1 -
sles9/CD1/media.1
drwxr-xr-x3 root root 4096 Aug  8 10:26 sles9/
drwxr-xr-x5 root root 4096 Aug  8 10:26 sp2-9/
drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 Aug  8 10:27 yast/


None of the symbolic links are 'working' because the sles9/CD1 directory is
empty.

Is that supposed to be that way and you just mount the CD manually at that
point?

Did you double check the checksums from the install CD's had a similar
issue with a bad CD once..

 and two physical volumes
 in a volume group, divided into swap and the root file system.
There was a thread some months back about the wisdom of putting the root
file system into a logical volume.  I believe the concensus was Don't do
it, because when there are problems with the logical volume, the system
becomes difficult to boot (seems now, difficult to install into too :))

Re: SLES 9 SP 2 install problem...

2005-08-08 Thread Uriel Carrasquilla
We follow this advise and created /boot   / (root) and SWAP in one 3390 M2.
Then, we LVM /tmp, /home, /opt and /(site) where /site would have normally
being /usr/local.  Our next step is to LVM /var.
When LVM is not working, we can still come up.  We only depend on one
volume to be there.

That was my advice then, and I still stand by it.  However, if Robert
could send me a console log of the failed re-IPL off-list, I'll take a
look at it.  I suspect I know what is wrong, but would like to look at
the log to be sure.
