Mauro, If you are running on z/VM there is an equivalent CMS based tool called SCSIDISC. It is in the CMS maintenance tree and takes some renaming/copying of components to activate.

Re: Enumerating LUNs on DS8100 (SOLVED)
Hi guys, Thanks for all help! We could connect the LUN to our system now. I found in Google that the LUN number to be added to Linux should have the following scheme: 0x40 + first byte of LUN id + 40 + second byte of LUN id + So, our LUN 0100 would be 0x40*01*40*00* Pieter, I've installed SCSIDISC here, but it could't find anything, so we turned to Linux again.

Re: Enumerating LUNs on DS8100 (SOLVED)
Pieter, I've installed SCSIDISC here, but it could't find anything, so we turned to Linux again. You need to attach the FCP device(s) you have attached to the Linux guest to the CMS running SCSIDISC. So: 1. shutdown and logoff owning Linux, freeing devices 2. attach same devices to CMS 3. run SCSIDISC If SCSIDISC runs correctly you should at least get a list of FCP local wwpn's. Additionally you get a list of any remote wwpn's and lun's visible. If zoning is incorrect there may be nothing to see. 4. detach devices from CMS 5. xautolog owning Linux Best regards, Pieter Harder pieter.har...@brabantwater.nl tel +31-73-6837133 / +31-6-47272537 Brabant Water N.V.

Re: Enumerating LUNs on DS8100
Mark is right about SLES. Fernando is right about the LUN numbering scheme for DS8K. However, it may differ with other storage servers. Additionally, all recent versions of SLES10, SLES11, RHEL5, and RHEL6 should ship the perl script lsluns in the s390-tools package (named s390utils on RHEL). It can query the storage server by means of the report luns scsi command. It's documented per man page and also in the device drivers book on developerworks.

Re: tar with tape drives
I found out what was happening. Summary: We had a problem where tar seemed to be keeping a tape drive for somewhere between 5 and 20 minutes after it completed. But this only happened when using REXEC from VSE. REXEC from VM or an interactive tar from a telnet session, did not show this behavior. While having a vmstat 10 1000 running on the machine that the tar was running on, I discovered the actual problem. The rexecd server in Linux (SLES 11 SP 1), was returning from the tar command before the command had completed. So, why the tape drive showed it was still in use, well the tar was still running. REXECD came back to VSE (a batch job) and then tried issuing additional commands, which failed due to the tape drive was still in use. Additionally, I was producing a listing of files that were being backed up. When I redirected the list of files to a disk file, the tar didn't produce any output once it started. Something...i.e. REXECD perhaps decided that the command did finish without any output and returned back to the client. When I did the same tar command and had the list of files being backed up sent back to VSE, i.e. a very active connection, REXECD didn't return back to the client until the tar was finished. Weird type of thing. I'm not really up on pipes and Linux, but in the VM world, I can pipe output to the console and to a file without blocking the stage. Is there something similar in the Linux world so I can keep the listing and keep the connection active?

Re: A call for people to chair sessions.
Hello to everyone, This e -mail is a request for people to chair sessions for a conference called SHARE. SHARE Inc. is an independent, volunteer run association providing enterprise technology professionals with continuous education and training, valuable professional networking and effective industry influence. History In 1955, just two years after the release of IBM's first computer, a handful of the earliest IT professionals collaborated to form SHARE. Thus came into being the world's first organization of computing professionals. Over the past five decades, SHARE has become synonymous with high-quality, user-driven education and resources to make enterprise computing specialists more effective professionals. SHARE serves more than 20,000 individuals representing over 2,000 of IBM's top enterprise computing customers. Our constituency includes many of the top international corporations (including the majority of the FORTUNE 500), universities and colleges, municipal through federal government organizations, and industry-leading consultants. While independent, SHARE maintains a close partnership with IBM and its subsidiaries, as well as with leading solution providers to continually strengthen SHARE's benefits for its members. Just in case you need it, this is a reminder that SHARE is approaching rapidly and the Linux and VM program is still in great need for session chairs. Therefore, there are some really choice sessions left! Below is a list of the sessions that are left. If you are planning on attending SHARE in Orlando FL. (Aug. 08-12), please volunteer to chair a session or two! Please respond to me, off list, and let me know what you are interested in.

I doubt that's true, I just don't know where to look. :-) These files are not PDS(E), or other things that linux has no concept of, they are just plain, flat files... (They are actually FBM text files, but when linux gets it, I know longer care about the M part, these things will never be printed.

Re: tar with tape drives
And another thing. It isn't a problem with REXEC or REXECD. Instead of executing each command via REXEC to Linux, I created a script which had all the commands in it. So, REXEC only executed the script. But what happened was The tar was being executed. Long before the tar completed, bash started executing the remainder of the commands in the script. However tar was still running (and keeping the tape drive in use). This is similar to tar being executed asynchronously. However, when I run the script interactively, from Putty (actually Kitty), the command runs like it is suppose to. Only when the tar completes does the next command start to executed. So, it seems, at this point, that tar knows when it is being executed remotely and returns control early (and continues to execute). However, executing the script using VM's REXEC, didn't produce the asynchronous behavior. So, REXEC from VSE using the CSI 1.5E stack seems to be telling tar something that REXEC from VM (z/VM 5.2) isn't. Time for a beer.

I would like to change the MVS process to terse the file before sending, but as far as I've been able to find, an unterse is not available on Linux. I doubt that's true, I just don't know where to look. :-) These files are not PDS(E), or other things that linux has no concept of, they are just plain, flat files... (They are actually FBM text files, but when linux gets it, I know longer care about the M part, these things will never be printed. Can somebody suggest where I can get a trsmain equivalent that runs on Linux?
