Yes you can have 12 LPARs sharing a single IFL. Whether it works very well is an It Depends. Well put. I'd pose it as: With VM: can be handled by part of one person, part time dynamically with rare purchases of real resources. Changes are seldom disruptive. Without VM: requires intervention of software *and* hardware team and purchase of real resources for every increase in workload. Which do they want to do?

Re: Backing up SLES 11 SP1 and Oracle
My available tape drives are IBM 3480 (yes, you read that correctly!). With drives that small, you're better off backing up to disk (if you have it) and using an alternate method to back up over the network. At 180M per tape, you'll be doing this forever. I am looking for advice on which software package(s) I need on SLES 11 SP 1 to be able to detect, and back up to, my 3480's. Total data, right now, would be 10 - 12 GB (the oracle DB has not yet been populated). Install a Bacula server on one of your distributed hosts that has access to larger capacity tapes and install the Bacula client on this LPAR. Much easier. If you must do the backups from here, Bacula server and client can deal with 3480s directly on the Linux LPAR. Make sure that the tapes are moved over, then activate them by echo 1 the appropriate device address node in /proc. Echo 0 to the device node when you take them away. Anyone know if Oracle can 'back up' to these drives? Or do I need to have Oracle back up to disk first, and then back that data up to the 3480? I'm having trouble finding this info int he Oracle manuals. And if Oracle backs up to disk, such as an lvm, can I back that up directly, or is there something else I need to do, first. RMAN to disk works fine (in your case, NFS mounting a chunk of disk on another host would be smartest). You probably could do it directly to tape, but Linux and multivolume tape is not straightforward, and RMAN doesn't cope very well with it. -- 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: New User Linux on z10 question
While 12 LPARs can share one IFL they cannot share any memory. Each LPAR must have its own dedicated memory. That's the main reason to run z/VM, to share memory. When I asked why Xen did not support System z, I was told that they didn't see any point in competing with z/VM. Xen is architecture dependend code all the way through. I know it also runs on Power, but the only commonality between Power and x86 is probably the printk routine... with kind regards Carsten Otte IBM Linux Technology Center / Boeblingen lab -- omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est -- 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: Linux, VSWITCH, and??
Jim, Sorry about the previous email. I must clarify that we always use a parm file and a conf file. Here is my parm file: ramdisk_size=4 root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off CMSDASD=191 CMSCONFFILE=GSS6.conf vnc And here is my GSS6.conf file: DASD=100-102 HOSTNAME=z06.z900.redhat.com NETTYPE=qeth IPADDR=192.168.5.56 SUBCHANNELS=0.0.0600,0.0.0601,0.0.0602 NETWORK=192.168.5.0 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 SEARCHDNS=z900.redhat.com:rdu.redhat.com BROADCAST=192.168.5.255 GATEWAY=192.168.5.254 DNS=172.16.52.28:10.11.255.27 MTU=1500 PORTNAME=UNASSIGN LAYER2=0 PORTNO=0 Here is my vswitch definition: NICDEF 600 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM VSW1 Thanks, Justin On 04/07/2011 03:11 PM, Hughes, Jim wrote: Would someone share their Network related PARM statements with us?

Re: read-only
If you're trying to use coalesced SAN volumes (and I believe you said that you are), then you want to INclude block devices under /dev/mapper and EXclude the rest. Something like ... filter = [ a|/dev/mapper/.*|, r|.*| ] Someone should confirm that I have the syntax correct. I can never remember regex. :-SIn a prior life, I used something like it with consistent success. Alternatively, this should work, but requires that the disk ID logic presents the coalesced DM devices and not the individual paths ... filter = [ a|/dev/disk/by-id/.*|, r|.*| ] If the coalesced -vs- path req is met, then the latter may be more to your liking. -- R; Rick Troth Velocity Software http://www.velocitysoftware.com/ -- 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/
