SLES10 install problem

2007-04-27 Thread Westerman, Graeme
Trying to get z/VM set up as per manual z/VM and Linux on IBM System z The 
Virtualization Cookbook
This book relates to z/VM 5.2  SLES10. 
We have got as far as page 47 Section 4.5.4 Shutton down  reIPLing the 
system 
When we issue Q VSWITCH we get...messages as per the sample output on P47 
except we get   
Controller: NONE rather than Controller DTCVSW1 
   

We have double-checked our setup  it is exactly as per the manual. 

NB 
We noticed that when the DTCVSW1 starts up we get error message  
DTCOSD045E OSD device [EMAIL PROTECTED] Error getting XA subchannel id for 
 
device 600 Then device 600 shuts down. 
 
Extra information   
1) the cookbook is at following URL 
http://linuxvm.org/Present/misc/virt-cookbook-S10.pdf   

2) We are running VM V5.2 with absolutely no maintenance whatsoever although 
we have a V5.1 system, with lots of maintenance on it, which is giving the same 
error DTCOSD045E !
 
3) Still have some doubts that the vswitch(s) are working correctly as when 
we start the Linux install it gets to the bit when it is trying to do   
the nfs mount then fails with the message Could not find the SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server 10 Installation Source   

It then throws up a menu when one of the options is to do a manual  
install. Tried using this both for nfs and for ftp and in each case 
comms to the Linux server fails.

We have been able to ping the nfs server from LNXMAINT and also to open 
an FTP session to it. However, LNXMAINT is using the VM IP address, as I
can see when I do netstat home so although this proves we have network
connectivity, I don't think it's using the VSWITCH at all.

Re: SAMBA Active Directory

2007-04-27 Thread Michael MacIsaac
 I'm in the process of building a file server using SAMBA
 but will like to use our current Windows Active Directory
 for authentication purposes. Where can I find more information
 on how to accomplish this task? We are running SLES9 SP3.
I've been out of the loop for a while, but ...
There is a paper on http://linuxvm.org/present/ - Migrating Windows
Servers to Samba.  It's old and based on Samba 2, but it may be good
background material.

Since Microsoft appears to have accepted Linux to some extent, I believe
there has been some progress on the AD side.  If the AD servers are
Windows 2003 server R2, then Windows Services for UNIX is standard (I
believe) and if this service is enabled there are fields for UNIX UID and
GID (I believe but never even logged on to 2003 server). This is
preferable to the winbind mapping of Windows RIDs to UIDs/GIDs.  You'll
still need winbind, you just don't have to worry about also backing up and
restoring the mapping table.

Hope this helps.

Re: Increasing Size of DASD for Root Filesystem

2007-04-27 Thread Michael MacIsaac
 512M/home
FWIW, in the new Virtualization Cookbooks we describe using LVM, NFS,
automount and LDAP to create an automount'ed /home/ (especially, section
12.3).  You can create a big /home/ LV on one server and have it
automatically NFS-mounted on any other server. This way the user's home
directories can follow them around to any (all) virtual servers.  If you
set this up in your golden/master image, then all cloned Linuxes give you
this feature.

Something to think about, perhaps experiment with.

Re: SLES10 install problem

2007-04-27 Thread Michael MacIsaac
 We have been able to ping the nfs server from LNXMAINT
OK, good, your z/VM is on the network.

 q vswitch detail
 VSWITCH SYSTEM VSW1 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 1 Maxconn: INFINITE
 PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF
 VLAN Unaware
 State: Ready
 IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8
 Portname: UNASSIGNED RDEV: 0604 Controller: DTCVSW1 VDEV: 0604 BACKUP
  ^^^
 Portname: UNASSIGNED RDEV: 0608 Controller: DTCVSW1 VDEV: 0608
So it seems the vswitch got a controller the first time

Then you test a reIPL (better to find this now), and you get:
 Controller: NONE

Perhaps the issue is that the controllers were not autologged.  If you
IPLed with the noautolog parameter, then the controllers will not come
up.  Assuming you did not specifiy noautolog, I'd look at AUTOLOG1's
PROFILE EXEC. Be sure it is XAUTOLOGging DTCVSW1 and DTCVSW2.

 We noticed that when the DTCVSW1 starts up we get error message
 DTCOSD045E OSD device [EMAIL PROTECTED] Error getting XA subchannel id for
 device 600 Then device 600 shuts down.
This confuses me - it seems you use OSA triplet 600-602 for the z/VM
TCP/IP stack, and 604-606 + 608-60A for the VSWITCH. So why would DTCVSW1
(VSWITCH) be trying to use device 600 (VM TCPIP)?  Maybe I'm missing
something but maybe you reversed something.  Look at the DEFINE VSWITCH
statement in SYSTEM CONFIG.

Hope this helps.

On the other hand, the focus of the session was on attracting young
developers to the platform, and the young lady doing the presentation
was pretty clear that her entire background up to the point of joining

Re: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag

2007-04-27 Thread Neale Ferguson
If you have a problem with your system and you need to report it to the
service folks they may ask you to remove the module and try and repeat
the problem. An unsupported module means that it hasn't been verified
for use on the given distribution and as such may be introducing bugs
that are leading to problems.

 Kind of overlays or something.  I'm not sure how it works, but we've got

I hope they're at least mount points, and not part of the root file system.  
Sometimes foolish software such as this can also be tricked by symbolic links

something I would open a problem report about.  Otherwise they'll just keep on

Re: Public Ports of Research compilers.

2007-04-27 Thread T'Dell Sparks
Thanks Jim for info.

For the record though,, The PHP compiler  was a really nice port. However
I'm waiting to see if  Python get the same treatment. What I initially saw
was some lack of support for SMNP lib's  in PERL, but it turned out  was
there after all. PHP however does lack a couple of libraries,, which are
probably not significant. The ALGOL compiler would be  nice addition to the
set of public ports if only for historical reasons.

The other aspect of the has to do with  ( Flamers start your engines  now
) the ECLIPZ project. Rumor and speculation has it that the Micro/Milli
code from z/architecture could likely be ported to a Cell  like chip  to
either replace or supplement the current z/series mainframe. Which hints of
a real virtual like machine that will support many different OS's.. ala
the current Power 5/6 variants.

The reasonable explanation for  is that it would lead to lower development
and manufacturing costs. A feather in IBM's cap, since it consolidates a
lot expensive hardware into a neat package.

I recompiled and rebuilt the package under sles10 but to no avail. I have
not seen much development of this product over the years or seen any

root access.

What other products are out there for logging root commands that are

That is  good news. In that makes a Linux Port a more robust offering  for
mainframes. It places a mainframe boot squarely on throats of Sun and other
Unix wannabee mainframe  class servers.

I suspect that  long  term  the z-Chip is not dead,, just evolving into
something that is a deadly serious computing engine.

 Anyone using curl to mirror the SLES9 patches?
 If so, what's the curl parameters(s) to do the mirroring?

I think you need to use a script wrapped around the curl command to do this.  
There is a Perl script on the curl web site to do this:
http://curl.haxx.se/programs/curlmirror.txt

Also, what version of wget are you using?  Newer versions support NTLM 
authentication.

FYI APAR HIPER flag change (cross posted)

2007-04-27 Thread Kurt Acker
Greetings,
  If you follow HIPER APAR's, please do not be alarmed.  This note
explains some changes that caused us to review all active APAR's, and
change the HIPER flag when needed.

System z, z/VM APAR HIPER and RSU process changes:

IBM's current service guidelines requires all APARs that result in system
outage be marked 'HIPER'.
In z/VM's case, this also applies to APARs that correct virtual machine
outages.
This same APAR may or may not also be marked PERVASIVE.
The previous guideline required any system or subsystem outage APAR to be
marked 'PERVASIVE' in order to have been marked HIPER.  As you can see
this is a switch.

To adhere to the current guideline, system outage APARs that were not
marked HIPER have now been marked HIPER.

zVM's RSU philosophy has been to put all HIPER APARs on the RSU.  This has
been changed.  Now, APARs designated HIPER and PERVASIVE are
automatically included on the RSU.   All HIPER APARs are not necessarily
PERVASIVE and as such may not be put on the RSU.

The HIPER designation is for customer awareness that these problems exist,
they cause a system or subsystem outage, and may or may not be on the RSU.


Here are the newly designated HIPER APARs, currently in supported releases
R510 and R520:

It was later renamed to audit, and is still part of SLES.  One thing my team 
ran into frequently on Intel Linux systems was that you have to be _very_ 
careful not to let the available space on /var drop below 20%, or your system 
will just kind of slow down and stop.  Not crash, just stop.

I just did a quick check; I have several systems in regular use with
less than 20% free in /var, some with less than 3%.

_I_ never heard of such a thing before.
