Re: Mono on s390x
Neal, SLE is SLES 10 SP2. I run it without any patches (simply installed from the DVD) or with all patches applied. Same situation. BTW: Is there a way to fall back to a previous level of the packages with RPM? MONO has a lot of dependencies and when upgraded the packages to e.g. 1.2.6, I was not really able to reinstall the original level.

Mono on s390x
Dear all, I was just confronted with a request to install for a proof of concept a Wiki (Mindtouch DekiWiki) under Linux s390x. The application uses parts developed on .NET which is supposed to run under MONO 1.2.2 and above (I think it is tested till 1.2.6). There exists a noarch.rpm to install it on SuSE SLES10. I cannot make it run under s390x and I don't know why. On purpose I have installed a clean SP2. No patches are applied. I did in the beginning an installation with all the recent updates and it shows the same problem.

Re: LPAR to LPAR communication
I had some problems with this some years ago. So, I learn something... CNC-CTC (SCTC) are for ESCON channels. The 3088 (or BCTC) are for parallel channels, a pair at each side. FICON channels can be defined both as FCTC, and can be one at each side, not necessary a pair. And with a Ficon Director, we can share a unique FICON channel, defining two or more LCUs, one for each LPAR. There are a document about this somewhere into the IBM world.

Re: LPAR to LPAR communication
>>I didn't think a physical cable was require for FICON FCTC. Mark, If I understand this point, you are talking about to use a unique CHPID for a FCTC, acting as Send/Receiver. This one-channel solution needs at least one fiber cable to connect the CHPID to a Ficon Director, but could be one already in use for other devices. The solution that doesn't need any cable is Hipersocket, when the LPARs are on the same CEC. Regards, Clovis.

Re: Missing DASD cylinders. DASD corrupted?
MAINT's virtual 405 is also defined in USER DIRECT. Based on your Q V 405 comment from MAINT, it appears this is some type of system minidisk on real volume 540W01. This is most likely an expected CMS disk for the system and is NOT a minidisk you probably want your Linux guest to access. There is no relationship - in most case - between virtual addresses across different VMs like MAINT and LINUX1. MAINT has a large number of virtual addresses related only to system administration. Also, in most cases, there is no relationship between real/physical addresses and guest virtual addresses like 0405. For your LINUX1 guest, VADDR 191 is 50 cylinders (1-50) which is probably a bit large for a Linux 191 CMS disk. The reason your original VADDR 100 failed at logon was because you exceeded the length of the 3390-3 MV0405 (51 + 3338 cyls). VADDR 101 appears to be a full pack minidisk covering all of MV0406. You need to MAP MV0405 to find out what space is available for VADDR 100 after your 191 minidisk and any other minidisks on that volume. That map should show that cyls 51-156 are available for VADDR 100. If you want to allocate MV0405 as a full pack minidisk to LINUX1, you will need to move the VADDR 191 to another volume and then define VADDR 100 the same as VADDR 101 - 0001 for 3338 on MV0405.

DASD corrupted? Sent by:Linux on 390 Port Hi, Thanks Dave (Jonathan and Bernie too) for the hints. Yes, you're all correct, I do have a virtual/real address issue. But something about this still escapes me: As the MAINT user, I have a virtual dasd at 0405: q v 405 DASD 0405 3390 540W01 R/W156 CYL ON DASD 0403 SUBCHANNEL = 003 I also have a real dasd at 0405 and the volume serial is MV0405: q dasd details 0405 0405 CUTYPE = 2107-E8, DEVTYPE = 3390-0A, VOLSER = MV0405, CYLS = 3339 CACHE DETAILS: CACHE NVS CFW DFW PINNED CONCOPY -SUBSYSTEM YY Y -N N -DEVICE Y- - YN N DEVICE DETAILS: CCA = 65, DDC = -- DUPLEX DETAILS: -- CU DETAILS: SSID = 0085, CUNUM = 0001 Now in the USER DIRECT entry for user LINUX1, there's a MDISK for virtual DASD 100: USER LINUX1 LINUX1 1024M 1024M g INCLUDE LINDFLT MDISK 191 3390 0001 050 MV0405 MR READ WRITE MULTIPLE MDISK 100 3390 0051 3338 MV0405 MR READ WRITE MULTIPLE MDISK 101 3390 0001 3338 MV0406 MR READ WRITE MULTIPLE When I logon as LINUX1, I see this: LOGON LINUX1 00: HCPLNM1151E LINUX1 0100 has not been linked because it is not within CP volme extents. And guest LINUX1 won't have a virtual DASD at 100. After some testing, virtual DASD 0100 will link when I set the cylinder range to be 51 to 156 instead. It seems that LINUX1 doesn't get the real DASD 0405 but the virtual DASD 0405 instead. Am I missing something? Chan K.
