All ASCII control controls will be 0x01-0x1F. In order to ensure fidelity on a round trip (EBCDIC->ASCII->EBCDIC), what you will find is that EBCDIC values that have no ASCII equivalent will be assigned to ASCII codepoints that have no EBCDIC equivalent. For example, 0x85 in Windows is an ellipsis, which doesn't exist in any EBCDIC code page. In UNIX (ISO 8859-1) and its derivatives, it has no meaning. And since NL doesn't exist in ASCII, 0x15 and 0x85 can be safely transposed. If you found an EBCDIC codepage that *did* have an ellipsis, then the translation for that particular codepage to Windows (1252) would have to find some other ASCII code point to contain the NL.

Re: Systems management - quick survey?
One should ask some really tough questions :) When was your last release for this platform? What date is the next planned update? How does that compare to the other platform? Are they on the same level? How many other z customers do you have? Can you give me references? Quiz the marketing rep--- who else is he/she marketing too at the moment? Can we have some joint discussions/presentations? (once bitten twice shy :) I kinda feel for the vendors. This is a very tough and really super educated crowd. (what other computer internet list can you get on and not get ripped apart for being clueless ? :) While that it is good, that just means fewer vendors are going to tread into the z linux space without a good sized handful of customers with checkbooks (unless they are IBM - but hey, not even all their stuff runs on z linux :) Even CA hasn't made good progress in z Linux things and their pockets are probably deep and they do understand the z customers. We've had some success in getting together with other large customers and pressuring the vendors to deliver z linux agents for their stuff (we're not even asking for the servers -- just the darn agents so we can fall in line with the company choices -- choices made by the distributed world czars). Levanta did really help with a lot of the systems management issues that Mike asked about. The interface to the VM directory (whether it be VM:secure, Dirmaint/RACF, or xedit the big file) - call that 'virtual bare metal' if you will, was flawless. They solved the DASD sharing problem transparently to the server with their mapfs filesystem. Being venture capitalist funded...

Sorry that was a mistype. The dasdc should have been: >* Create partition /dev/dasdc1 (2.2 GB) with unknown I was just trying to do a simple install. I thought or wanted to stay away from LVM.

Various iterations through this part either generated warnings on Dasd not selected or something like that. Then /boot and /root missing.

Ok. I am getting errors on the yast install. They are occurring during the mount after format. The selections I have made are below. Under Disk Activation I chose Configure DASD Disks. Then selected 150,151,152 then activated and formatted. Then selected 160 (swap vdisk) and activated. I did not make a DIAG selection. Installation mode = New Install Etc. Partitioning No automatic proposal possible. Specify mount points manually in the 'Partitioner' dialog I have tried many iterations of selecting and dasdfmt and specifying /boot / and have no idea how to setup or the standard name for a LVM. Somewhere along the line it squawked that it needed a /boot or / and that it could not specify on except on a 1 type device. Anyway the latest selection is displayed on the screen scrape below. Well the screen scrape is rejected so here is the partitioning information: Partitioning * Execute dasdfmt on disk /dev/dasda * Execute dasdfmt on disk /dev/dasdb * Execute dasdfmt on disk /dev/dasdc * Create boot partition /dev/dasda1 (35.1 MB) with unknown * Create root partition /dev/dasdb1 (2.2 GB) with unknown * Create root partition /dev/dasdc1 (2.2 GB) with unknown * Use /dev/dasdd1 as swap In execution I received the following error: Error Failure occurred during the following action: Mounting /dev/dasdb1 to / System error code was: -3003 Mount -t auto /dev/dasdb1 /mnt: Mount:you must specify the filesystem type Please help.

Re: wget on Linux - I think Paul already said he wasn't allowed out of Linux to the internet. But perhaps he could set up linux to use the same proxy server that his IE is set up for and sneak out that way :) (update /etc/sysconfig/proxy and run /sbin/SuSEconfig on SuSE - be sure to logout/in to get the new env variables).

You have to put the generated autoinst.xml file somewhere that is accessible from the network.

I presumed that I load the information up onto the starter system NOVSTART and do yast autoyast to generate the autoinst.xml from the template and diff. But where to put the template and diff files?

Actually, the starter system is SP1, which I didn't create a template for. > So I would want the second selection below? Give the SP2 version a try. I think you're more likely to not have a problem. The only difference between the two is the package selections. Starting with SP1, and continuing with SP2 (but less so), some more inter-package dependencies were introduced, so if you try to use the GA version, it will get a "package resolver failure." If the SP2 version fails for you as well, let me know and I'll create an SP1 version.

Re: SFTP versus FTP
For reference, these are what you'll be looking for in your od output: CRLF - Carriage Return Line Feed (ASCII x'0D0A', escape sequence '\n'). Used on Windows (DOS) platforms. CR- Carriage Return (ASCII x'0D', escape sequence '\r'). Early Mac, before it became Unix based. LF - Line Feed (ASCII x'0A', EBCDIC x'25'). Unix and Unix-like systems (Linux, AIX, Mac OS X+). NL- New Line or Next Line (EBCDIC x'15'). EBCDIC systems (IBM mainframe, i5/OS). I'd be guessing the file in Unix has x'0D0A' at the end, then when it gets to Linux it just has x'0A'. I believe the z/OS FTP client is expecting the data to end with x'0D0A' to bring it in correctly. I would recommend running a utility on the Linux side to change the data to the way it should be. Look at the dos2unix and unix2dos utilities. Or try sed with somethink like one of these: sed s/.$// > sed s/$/\\x0d/ > Good reference: http://homepage.smc.edu/morgan_david/CS41/lineterminators.htm Other than that you'd have to look at the man pages for the sftp software you are using between Linux and Unix to see if there is something you can specify to make it do a binary transfer. You don't want to do a binary transfer from Linux to z/OS, or else you'll still have to translate the data on z/OS and strip out the end-of-line characters. Of course, it has lots of options for that. We do some transfers where we do binary FTP them to z/OS and then use the iconv and Unix System Services cp command to translate them and transform the end-of-line characters. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edmund R.

My first guess is that this is a difference between CR/LF and LF terminating each line. I think that your FTP and SFTP clients are set to treat line termination differently. (Something like binary mode.) To see what is actually in a file I normally go to the unix utility od (octal dump) which I invoke as od -c to make it easier to interpret - and it will show what is used at end-of-line (with that flag it will show these new-line as\n returnas\r -- --henry schaffer -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
Re: sles 10 install using nfs
Hi Ok exported the .iso file and got an io error when I tried to mount it. So mounted the dvd iso file local and exported that Ftped the vmrdr and initred from the dvd to be sure to vm Started the boot loader and got this message at the end ; starting hald... ok [/license.zip] End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /license.zip or /license.zip.zip, and cannot find /license.zip.ZIP, period. starting syslogd (logging to /dev/tty4)... ok starting klogd... ok starting yast... But was able to get a yast session and that session still failed after analyzing the system and found not software to be install... so.. I just deleted everything I had downloaded from Novell... tried to down load the sles 10 sp1 but it starts and end but only downloads 1k ... some problem there it looks like.. downloading a new copy of the sles 10 base dvd and will test with only that now... -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Post Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2008 1:44 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: sles 10 install using nfs >>> On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 1:11 PM, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Ayer, Paul W" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks mark I did try the dvd to and it could not be mount by got an nfs > error ..

SFTP versus FTP
I have a file on Unix server. When I transfer that file from Unix to Linux using FTP - I'm getting file with the same size. When I use SFTP, I'm getting file smaller by 79 bytes. The file has 79 lines. That file is then FTP from Linux to z/OS - using FTP batch job on z/OS (using "get" command). The file which was FTP-ed (from Unix to Linux) can be read on z/OS, the file which was SFTP-ed (from Unix to Linux) shows only first line. When I used "set list" command (vi editor on Linux) - I can see "$" (end of line character) on both files (in the same column). 1. How can I find out which character is lost during SFTP process? (I'm assuming that some control character is lost). How can I get that file using SFTP without losing any characters? 2. Any other suggestion how to go around the problem? - I have to use the file which was SFTP-ed from Unix to Linux on z/OS (I cannot use the FTP-ed file).

It's called "download the DVD .iso file instead." Anything else would just cause more problems. Alternatively, if you're running z/VM, download the starter system and use that for your install server. You might find some hints in /var/log/YaST2/* as to what the installer is trying to locate, and not finding. This is the main reason I prefer to use http installs instead of NFS.

Re: sles 10 install using nfs
Hi Alan, I had tried many things. One other thing. The nfs side is red hat .. So at one point I exported the directory that has the .iso files and on the yast side it could not even start .. So now I have created the export director and then mounted the four iso files one by one then copied each to a dir CD1 CD2 CD3 CD4 told yast to use CD1 then it finds it and starts then after formatting disks and such it says it gets to the installation step and finds not software to install ...
