Re: Missing DASD cylinders. DASD corrupted?
Hi, Chan Kok Leong One possible explanation for this apparent discrepancy is the the command "Q DASD DETAILS 0405" returns information about a real DASD volume at real address 0405. The CPFMTXA command returns information on the minidisk belonging to the issuing virtual machine at (virtual) address 0405. For example, if you are logged onto, say, your RedHat installation id, the CPFMTXA command will show you information on the install user id's 0405 minidisk, which appears to be in this case 156 cylinders. It's easy sometimes to get confused between devices' real and virtual addresses, and which commands take real addresses and which expect virtual ones. Hope this helps some.

Re: Minidisks and DASD model 3/9
Among all the other thoughts that were brought upit depends on what performance you want. For example, I have some test Linux systems, that are a single 3390-9. All software is on it and data. Just something easy to play with. However it is limited as the volume can only be on a single Raid Array. And every Raid Array can end up bottlenecking on I/O, if there is sufficient I/O. Your other Raid Arrays (I have 8 arrays), may be idle. >From a performance side, Oracle seems to like to manage its own disks, and of course, each disk being on separate Raid Arrays. However, from a management side, putting the disks in a LVM and giving it to Oracle, saves people costs. So, how busy is the Oracle? If you are not pounding it, then use LVM and save people costs. That type of consideration also plays for any application that has large pools of disk space, Oracle, DB2, Samba, NFS, FTP Server, etc. Raid Arrays really eliminated most of the dasd performance tuning we use to do on a volume level. But you still may need to do it on a Raid Array level. You may want to try this experiment: Have Linux format 3 volumes. Two volumes on the same Raid Array, and the third on a different Raid Array. When Linux is formatting all three volumes at the same time, it has a "completion graph" shown. The single volume is formatted much faster then the other two. I know, twice as many I/Os should take longer, plus you are doing head seeks to boot. But it shows there is a difference in performance when you are on an Array that is highly used, vs lightly used.

This is the time to decide what model to use 3/9/27… Originally I thought "the bigger the better". We are using DIRMAINT to manage dasd space and now I am not sure what is the best approach. Here are my thoughts about large models: 1. I am concerned about fragmentation.

On System z, that doesn't change the hardware clock, it's just intended to tell the rest of the system whether the clock is set to UTC or local time. You just need to make sure you have it accurately reflect the real situation. And, you need to make sure your time zone is correctly set for the system. Does "date -R" reflect the correct offset for your time zone?

Re: Module is unknown when signing on
Maybe a pam module isn't available for authentication?

Duplicate IP question
Under SLES 10 SP 2, if you bring up an image that has the same IP address as a currently running system, is linux smart enough not to flood the network with packets with duplicate IP addresses? It does figure something out, saying that it can not register the IP address, but does it keep trying and flood the network and/or mess up communications with the box that was running initially? In the old days, when a Windows box came online with a duplicate IP address, the entire network would suffer. What happens in the Linux world?

Re: Module is unknown when signing on
Specifically - look at /etc/pam.d/login .. Compare them between working and nonworking servers... I'm guessing you'll find a difference in the modules called OR the modules are missing on the non-working servers..

Re: Module is unknown when signing on
or - maybe better .. remove the /lib/security and just specify pam_limits.so and let pam use it's default dir (which might be lib64? not sure - don't have a zLinux distro handy at the minute) Anyway - look for the pam_limits.so and specify it correctly in /etc/pam.d/login ...
