Re: Passing parameters to an autologged guest
You can also consider cmsfs, which will let you mount a CMS file system (minidisk) thats maintained under VM. Then linux can read a CMS config file during startup to control your apps, network information, etc. Just alter the script in the config file before startup to affect the characteristics of your server.

Is it possible to mount an IBM 3590 tpe dive to a linux guest so it is usable by tar, etc. ? Yes, it is. But you need SuSE or RedHat distro, IBM provides kernel modules only for specific kernels.. 3590 tape driver kernel modules are available only as OCO modules :( (Object Code Only) But it's working fine!

Re: Válasz: IBM Tape drive
Hi, Kenneth. Detailed instructions for using the IBM supplied tape device driver can be found in Chapter 5 of the Device Drivers, Features, and Commands manual on the IBM Linux for zSeries web site (ftp://www6.software.ibm.com/software/developer/linux390/docu/l26cdd00.pdf Examples are given of setting tape drive on and offline, loading and unloading tapes, enabling compression, and copying a file system to tape.

yast online update
For a while, I have been doing online updates using the sdb.suse.de/download link. This morning, I cannot do any updates. After I go into online update it tries to generate a list of mirror servers. I then get an error message stating that it cannot fetch remote server list. The details show: connection failed for URL: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/suseservers.cgi I cannot ping www.suse.de http://www.suse.de/ . Does this mean that the site is down or did the url change ?

Re: Problems with qeth driver when disabling IPv6...
On Wed, 9 Nov 2005, Brian Bell wrote: SLES 9 qeth driver will not load when ipv6 is disabled According to Novell document # 10098152, I disabled ipv6 module from loading. The qeth driver now fails to load. I talked to Novell support about this, they had no work around about a month ago. It's an qeth issue, the IPv6 has to be disabled at compile time, so if you really want IPv6 off you'll have to compile your own kernel. Why qeth was written this way is a good question.
