Re: OSA/Express Assistance
Dave, after reboot your OSA interfaces can be 'dead', because 1. problem in OSA-device configuration 2. just a missing gateway After reboot invoke from the HMC-console lsqeth -p to check if OSA-devices are available and route to check if the default gateway is defined. And what is contained in /etc/sysconfig/network/route ?

Duplicate MAC address across 2 zVM lpars

The mingetty line comes commented out. # # z900 LPAR SE/HMC VT220/Linux console - uncomment to enable getty on it: # 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear /dev/ttyS1 linux Then once you have done a telinitq or rebooted and gotten all the way up. You click on ASCII Console instead of operating system messages. You get a blank screen. Then position you cursor on the screen and press enter. You should get a login prompt. Ron David Stuart wrote: Hi Ron, I am using the HMC, Operating System Messages, which limits what you can do. I'll check out the ascii console. Yes, I have two ports.

You say both ports. This implies more than one interface. What is your default route set to in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes? Is it set to one of the active interfaces? When you say you are getting martian messages, could you elaborate? Could it be that the firewall got turned on? The interface might be up, but the firewall is disallowing all traffic. Also, there is some sort of OSA support tool that our zOS guy uses. He can go look at the OSA and the what LPARS are attached to an OSA and what addresses they are using. The people who know how to use this tool are out today at a meeting. Do you all have someone who can look at the OSA with this tool and find out if the Linux LPAR is really attached and what address it is using. In my limited experience running Linux in LPARS, there are only a few files that have to be right to get the network up. /etc/sysconfig/network/persistentnetworkname (in our case) ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a100 /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hardware name (in our case) hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a100 /etc/sysconfig/network/routes And possibly /etc/hosts Also, if you all are a member of SHARE, there was a presentation some time back that included some tips on how to get the network up when it does not want to come up. If you do not have ascii console mode running, it might be worthwhile to use google to find this presentation. (A lot of the presentations are on the linuxvm.org website.) If I remember correctly, the presenter said that by using a few echo commands to the right places, you could get a network up. I never tried it though.

Do you have any idea what happened to that? I hoped there would have been a newer version than 3.3 of rexx. The SDK was slimmed down quite a bit for SLE11. It had become a bit of a dumping ground for software that people thought might be useful to our customers, but that wasn't going to be supported. Beginning with SLE11, there is an extras channel for non-SDK software that won't be supported either, but right now there's not much in it. I don't know what selection criteria will be used for that channel. I don't believe Regina is there at the moment. Since neither the SDK nor the extras channel will contain supported software, you might as well just build Regina from source. I'll ask around internally to see if I can find out what sorts of things will wind up in extras.
