Re: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - installing problems
Some success using LCS - I added the following to the Herc conf file 0700.2 3088 10.0.2.5 -n /dev/net/tun -m 01:02:03:04:05:06 and then restarted the install.

Re: Question to smsgiucv
Hi Florian, Please don't use polling. You wakeup your machine even when nothing is happening. If you want to receive files you can use the linux console. When a file is send to a guest a message on the virtual console appears. Trap this message (use SCIF and PROP to monitor your linux consoles, like OPERATOR or similar) and have PROP trigger a script to receive the file. That's how we do it. We send files from VM and linuxguests to linuxguests, either directly or through ftp to remote VM LPARs (we don't have RSCS over there). When a RDR file arrives our PROP user issues a command to the linuxguest to run a script that will receive and process the file.

I've kept meaning to add select() support or similar to vmur since I wrote the original but it's never quite made it to the top of my priority list.

We have an automated daily transfer of accounting data from a Linux application to a z/OS application that works this way. This transfer also uses the FTP client option that calls for reading logon credentials from a file.

Question to smsgiucv
Dear all, I am looking for a possibility using the Virtual Reader under z/VM in z/LINUX. The idea is to process files received from a z/OS via RSCS. Off course I could regullarily start VMUR to poll the RDR but couldn't that be done much smarter with an event starting VMUR ? I thought smsgiucv could do that but I am not sure how.Does there exist a sample? Thank you very much. -- Best regards Florian -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
Re: Need "unusual" Linux ftp client
John -- Not sure I fully understand, but sounds like you may get far using a little shell pipes and either 'curl' or 'wget'. 'curl' writes a URL to standard output by default. 'wget' gets web files to your current directory by default, but can write to stdout. (I suppose you could "get" to stdout with 'ftp', but I have found 'curl' and 'wget' to be more forward moving.) Obviously your URL would start with "ftp://";, so the point is to move away from an FTP-only client to a general web client. YOU MAY eventually not even use FTP on the z/OS box for the task you describe. I was going to suggest immediate use of HTTP there, but you mentioned limits on how much you can change there (or ... limits on how much you can change without getting your fingers chopped or pinched). So that's another reason for going with 'curl' or 'wget'. Note that 'curl' also has a USS counterpart. I don't believe I have ever used it. Now ... to the pipeline ... With 'curl' or 'wget' the "file", which is really SYSOUT, becomes literally "stdout" (of the web reader client). Feed that through your choice of awk, sed, grep and munge it any way you need to. You could also wrap-up a couple of pipelines into a single shell script, throw their output into temp files, and maybe run 'diff' against them. I hope this helps. -- R; <>< Rick Troth Velocity Software http://www.velocitysoftware.com/ On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 14:57, McKown, John wrote: > I download data from z/OS. And I do it repetitively.

Need "unusual" Linux ftp client
I download data from z/OS. And I do it repetitively. Basically, run a job on z/OS to generate a file. Download the file. Process on Linux. Repeat. I do some intermediate work on z/OS between runs. This work changes the output of the job. I want to compare the output from the various runs. I currently do this by starting up the Linux ftp client; do a runique; then get the file. This results in the ftp client creating a series of file on Linux with .1, .2, .3, and so on. What I would like to do is not need to remember to do the runique command, but have it be the client default. I cannot change the z/OS ftp server's defaults. Well, I could, but I'd catch you-know-what if I did. . Is there some way to have the Linux ftp client do this for me? Why not just depend on myself? Because I sometimes mess up. And it only takes once to overwrite a file. Is there some other way to do this? Oh, I guess that I could make an ftp step in the job with an sunique and reverse the roles. However, I'm not actually creating a file. I'm creating a SYSOUT report. And the z/OS ftp server can then make that available to the Linux ftp client.

"Select Device Driver to Load" rings a bell, I've stumbled over that during the F-14 development, too. Bad news for you is that CTC isn't supported anymore as a installation device in RHEL6, I've added support for point-to-point devices back in Fedora-14. This issue is described in the following bug comment and is due to loader (of anaconda) not accepting ptp network devices. CTC does work up to the start of loader since the earlier linuxrc.s390 sets up CTC correctly and this is used for the ssh login. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596826#c22 While the earlier parts in above bug are fixed in RHEL6 and upstream, the following fixes for your encountered issue only seem to be upstream: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commit;h=aec2e17840f2c3f5e5c605b96518e3d80dadf53d http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commit;h=dc68f9a6bc1c36d808a8c8c514f7cb6caac5f769 http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commit;h=fa5ed4e8bbc5d56750a03a82b596dbdf804d1bf0 http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commit;h=d3180ef38db7d4cc2615ebadedfbb59d9fe984cd However, loader (as part of anaconda) accepting ptp devices is only part of the installation solution and NetworkManager also needs to accept ptp devices since anaconda uses NM to manage network devices once loader has started (and thus takes over device management from linuxrc.s390 which runs before loader on s390).
