You do not want to run the X server on the Z10, you run the X server on the desktop machine you are going to use as a display. The default startx script tries to start a X server on the same host -- which it's not going to do because z machines don't have frame buffers. If you are in bash on the Linux guest, start X on your desktop system, make sure you have run 'xhost +remote.linux.system' on the desktop system and use: set DISPLAY=your.desktop.workstation:0.0;export DISPLAY on the remote guest. And then run bochs. The DISPLAY environment variable is used by the X libraries to figure out where to actually send the display information. This is true for all X applications. You can test if you set it up right by doing the above set command and then typing: 'xterm '.

CAVMEN Meeting on Thursday, October 22, 2009
The fourth quarter meeting of the Chicago Area VM (and Linux) Enthusiasts will be held on Thursday, October 22, 2009. Due to speaker scheduling problems, the afternoon sessions have not been assigned as yet. Since the IBM z EXPO is being held this week, I may not have the afternoon sessions confirmed until next week. I will send out agenda updates as information becomes available. There is still road construction work in progress in the area around Hewitt Associates. The situation changes weekly, so I will send out a construction update on the Tuesday before the meeting. My intention is to have the handouts for each of the sessions available for download on the website by the Tuesday before the meeting.. This will give everyone a chance to print them in advance if they so desire. I will put them online as soon as I receive them from the speakers. -- Meeting Location: This quarter's meeting will be held at the Hewitt Associates 'East Campus' located at 100 Half Day Road, in Lincolnshire, IL. We will meet in Conference Room 100-M3, in Building 100, just off the cafeteria. If you have not attended a meeting at this location before, or you are not familiar with the area, http://cavmen.home.comcast.net/hewittb99.htmlClick here for additional information on directions, maps, lodging and dining. -- Attendance: We would like to request a count of expected attendees by the Monday before the meeting, so that we may plan appropriately for arranging the facilities, and for refreshments and lunch, should one of the vendors wish to provide them. If you are planning to attend, PLEASE send an E-Mail by that date to mailto:cav...@comcast.netcav...@comcast.net with a subject line of Meeting Attendance. This is meant to be a facilities planning aid and should not be interpreted as a registration requirement. If you suddenly become available at the last minute, please feel free to attend even if you have not responded. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. -- Meeting Agenda: 9:00 AM z/VM Platform Update: Introducing z/VM V6.1 - Advancing the Art of Server Virtualization This presentation will highlight the new functions available with z/VM V6.1, IBM's newest version of advanced server virtualization support for IBM System z. Building on the functionally rich base of z/VM Version 5.4, z/VM V6.1, previewed on July 7, 2009, further enhances the economic attractiveness of consolidating workloads on the mainframe. Find out how z/VM V6.1 on IBM System z10 advances the art of enterprise virtualization. The speaker will also provide an overview of future z/VM support (statements of direction) included in the z/VM V6.1 preview announcement. The speaker will be Alan Altmark of the IBM Corporation. 10:30 AMCoffee Break 11:00 AMSecurity Zones in z/VM In multi-tier network applications, there is usually the concept of demilitarized zones, or DMZs, that each contain a set of servers. Each DMZ is separated from others by firewalls and by access policies to ensure that there is no unwanted user access or flow of data. Learn in this presentation how to properly build virtual DMZs and to integrate virtual servers into your existing DMZs. We will also discuss using the RACF Security Server on z/VM to prevent a red zone server from connecting to a green zone network or green zone data... The speaker will be Alan Altmark of the IBM Corporation. 12:30 PMLunch Break 1:30 PM Administration and Vendor Announcements 1:45 PM Linux on z Update The speaker will present a brief update of recent developments in the Linux under z/VM area. The speaker will be Paul Augustyniak of the IBM Corporation. 2:00 PM Third Presentation The topic is to be determined. The speaker is to be determined. 3:15 PM Coffee Break and Prize Drawing 3:30 PM Fourth Presentation The topic is to be determined. The speaker is to be determined. 4:45 PM Free-for-All Members will attempt to answer any reasonable VM or hardware related questions. If you are having a problem and want to find out if others are experiencing it, or you are installing new hardware or software and want to find out what types of problems others have experienced, here is the place to find out. Members are encouraged to bring ideas for future presentations and speakers to this meeting. -- Please check the WEB site for Map and Directions: http://cavmen.home.comcast.net In addition, you will also find extensive information available on dining and lodging in the Hewitt Associates area.

Re: Windows emulation
If I recall aright, cygwin is a real win since it automagically copes with ssh -X. Other than that, are you sure you've done the equivalent of xhost + hostname so that your laptop will allow the incoming connection? Is your Windows firewalling set up to allow such a connection to make it into the laptop? (As I seem to recall, the Windows firewall is usually delivered to only let malware port connections into the machine... :-) ) (All right, back in Windows 3.11 days, I tended to rename win.com to lose.com... and W95 took the opportunity for that little irony out of my hands.) Why you are running to a Windoze workstation, though...:-) :-) :-) (Don't mind me-- almost 9 years inside IBM had be spoiled since IBM's C4EB was a whole lot better than the Windoze builds in terms of RAM and DASD use... and the Lotus Workplace actually ran faster and felt more stable... followed by 2+ years as a contractor at Verizon where there ain't no Linux access to the VPN grated on my nerves...) -soup On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 8:19 AM, David Boyes dbo...@sinenomine.net wrote: On 10/5/09 11:00 PM, Bernie VK2KAD vk2...@hotmail.com wrote: I am running a windows desktop so I downloaded Xming to use as the Xserver - It installed OK - I then ran Xlaunch to get it going - xming.exe appears as a running process in Task Manager - to configure I selected display number 0 (zero) and accepted all other defaults.

Novell iPrint Server using SLES on System z?
Greeting Listers... I have been getting plenty of questions within our organization lately regarding the support capabilities of the zLinux environment for a variety of service and infrastructure applications we employone of the latest is Novell's iPrint (which we are a heavy user of) I know that iPrint is supported on SLES on the x86 platform, but the question has come up (multiple times) Is iPrint supported under SLES on System z? Can we virtualize it like other infrastructure services on z? It's supported on SLES on x86.why not SLES on System z?SLES and iPrint are both Novell products. you get the idea. This is a common and obviously oversimplified perspective, but it's there nonetheless. ;-) Anyway, the short answer from Novell is: Nothe longer answer is: It is not currently on the map, some reasons technical (undetermined), some reasons business case. But since our organization is looking at everything we can to determine viability for consolidation/virtualization, I wanted to query the list on a few things: 1. Are other organizations out there using iPrint on SLES (on x86) who are also using SLES on System z? 2. If Novell iPrint were an option for SLES on System z (and you were using iPrint) would you host it on System z? If not, can you share your rationale/perspective? 3. Does there appear to be a business case/demand out there for Novell to support iPrint under SLES on System z (that Novell is unaware of)? 4. Is it even worthwhile to explore (like I don't have enough to do already)?

Some of you know this already, and some of you don't: Last month, I was offered a great opportunity at another organization that will allow me to focus my career in a way I have been interested in for quite a while. I accepted that position, knowing that my customers at SNA would be in good hands after I left. As a result, this Friday is my last day with SNA. Sine Nomine and its owners have been quite supportive of my move, for which I am very grateful. I intend to continue reading the Linux on 390 and VM mailing lists, but I am no longer going to be working with zSeries boxes as part of my job (I will continue to play with Hercules in my Copious Free Time), so my advice may grow even less useful than it currently is.

Re: Linux article
Did anyone form here see this? Thoughts?? Couple observations: 1) They're counting only RHEL and SLES. Doesn't count Ubuntu, which seems to power most of the netbooks where there seems to be significant expansion both on the desktop and in the data center (same OS on desktop and server gets points). 2) As noted: in a tight economy, don't fix it if it ain't broke. If people have working stuff, they aren't messing with it. We've finally made the point IMHO that people are the expensive part of IT, and that's what companies are economizing on: people. It takes a lot less people to run what you have rather than try to do something new. 3) I think the virtualization angle is somewhat specious. People just aren't buying hardware if they can avoid it, thus fewer licenses. 4) The support market for Linux is finally maturing to the point that the major vendors aren't the only game in town, and there is a lot of customized distribution creation going on, which isn't counted in this.

NPIV known problems?
Does anyone know if there are any known problems with NPIV and Suse 10 SP2? We're trying to add NPIV to one of our Suse 10 test systems, and having a spectacularly unsuccessful time. When we turned the NPIV bit on, we lost access to all the fcp dasd that had been working without any problems, so we turned NPIV off on the original channel, and added another channel; all the defined fcp devices started working again, and then we turned NPIV on for the new channel. VM can see the new channel and the addresses that have been dedicated to the Suse test system. Suse can see the channel, and reports the following during boot: scsi3 : zfcp zfcp: The adapter 0.0.f101 reported the following characteristics: WWNN 0x5005076400c36e0d, WWPN 0xc05076fd6b000784, S_ID 0x00701401, adapter version 0x4, LIC version 0x70e, FC link speed 4 Gb/s zfcp: Switched fabric fibrechannel network detected at adapter 0.0.f101. However, when we go into yast2, the fcp function cannot (or will not) define a new device on the new NPIV channel address. It sees the channel address when it does the scan during startup (the address shows up in the add a device pulldown box), but most of the time it doesn't seem to like the WWPN, and we've tried every WWPN we've been able to find that looked like it might work.

Re: emulating a z/OS DDNAME dataset concatenation in Linux
John McKown wrote:

do this as I think you want to. What I assume is that you basically want
to do one open() type function, and have the run time give you the
records from the file(s) in the concatenation without any more work on
your part anod only get an eof() indication at the end of the last file.
Now, I can envision writing a subroutine to do this, but I don't know of
one built in to, say, glibc. Now Perl does this if you do something
like:
I haven;t seen anyone offer a suggestion that will work for a program
that expects one input file that is not stdin. I think this does what
you want.
fred (cat lots of files)
It's called process substitution. and you can read all about it in the
bash manpage. The above example is a special case, one could also filter
input (using grep maybe) or generate a report from a database
(postgresql and psql perhaps), and the analogue for writing also works.
#!/bin/perl
while () {
print $_;
}
and invoke it:
perl -f program.pl file1.txt file2.data
it will read file1.txt and file2.data in that while() loop. But
something like C or Java generally won't.

Hi,
I've searched around and drawn a blank. What I'm wondering is whether there is
a method in Linux that emulates a z/OS DDNAME's facility of allowing multiple
datasets to be concatenated and effectively treated as one file.
I looked at symbolic links, the cat command, variants of the mount command,
but didn't see anything clearly supporting this. The ability supported by the DDNAME concept of
not needing to copy the files to concatenate them is important as we want to avoid as much overhead
as possible.
What we'd like to do is run a job on zLinux that accesses multiple z/OS datasets in one
file, as is done with the DDNAME concept with z/OS JCL.
Can NFS in some way support this? I think NFS will only use the mount
command anyway, but has it another route than that?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Best regards
Peter

Re: Using IPTABLES in SLES10 (NAT)
Samir Reddahi wrote: Hi Florian, You can use the boot.local (/etc/init.d/boot.local) to add the commands. The boot.local is executed right before the runlevel change. That sounds like The Wrong Way. If you use the SUSE firewall tools, it's best to use them properly, not work around things you don't understand. How would your successor be able to do it. I use RHEL-clone and Debian with shorewall, and not SLES much at all so I can't really comment on specifics, but I have the impression that some other parts of SLES expect the firewall scripts to work in a certain way, so substituting others may not be practical. OTHO SUSE configuration tools are, in my estimation, generally better than RH's, and Debian doesn't assume one uses a firewall at all (but provides several tools for managing them). In your position, I'd start by reading the documentation.

Does anyone know if there are any known problems with NPIV and Suse 10 SP2? We're trying to add NPIV to one of our Suse 10 test systems, and having a spectacularly unsuccessful time. When we turned the NPIV bit on, we lost access to all the fcp dasd that had been working without any problems, so we turned NPIV off on the original channel, and added another channel; all the defined fcp devices started working again, and then we turned NPIV on for the new channel. VM can see the new channel and the addresses that have been dedicated to the Suse test system. Suse can see the channel, and reports the following during boot: scsi3 : zfcp zfcp: The adapter 0.0.f101 reported the following characteristics: WWNN 0x5005076400c36e0d, WWPN 0xc05076fd6b000784, S_ID 0x00701401, adapter version 0x4, LIC version 0x70e, FC link speed 4 Gb/s zfcp: Switched fabric fibrechannel network detected at adapter 0.0.f101. However, when we go into yast2, the fcp function cannot (or will not) define a new device on the new NPIV channel address. It sees the channel address when it does the scan during startup (the address shows up in the add a device pulldown box), but most of the time it doesn't seem to like the WWPN, and we've tried every WWPN we've been able to find that looked like it might work. We can see the channel and the address on the HMC, and the switch. So far, it looks like we can see the NPIV channel where ever we look, but that's about it.
