z/VM - SLES11 Hipersocket issue
Hi folks, we are facing a problem regarding hipersockets on SLES11 SP1installed under z/VM 5.4 - We have 2 SLES10 + 1 SLES11 running under z/VM 5.4. The Hipersocketnetwork has address 192.0.1.x - All SLESes ping each other successfully - All SLES10s ping z/VM 192.0.1.x address successfully. - However our SLES11, despite pinging the other SLES10s in net 192.0.1.x fails on pinging z/VM 192.0.1.x address. That is, it seems like z/VM TCPIP can ping every SLES10 Hipersocket but can't ping the SLES11 hipersocket. I tried to attach a jpg picture explaining this but the system didn't allow me to. Has anyone had this problem, and if so, has anyone solved it some way? Thanks in advance, Raul Baron -- -- 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/

You can use SWAPGEN if you're IPLing CMS before Linux, or (if you prefer an all-Linux solution) use an init script to perform the mkswap and swapon the disks (rather than putting them in /etc/fstab).

Re: VDISK Swap
Do you IPL Linux directly in the virtual machine, or do you IPL CMS first? SWAPGEN is a CMS exec which defines the Swap space using CMS commands, before you IPL Linux from within CMS. IPLing CMS first gives you a chance do preface the Linux IPL with some intelligence, such as defining the vDisk swap space and checking to be sure that the Linux guest isn't running on any other z/VM system first, before IPLing it where you are. It can also do some accounting or anything else you'd like in CMS before starting the Linux system. If you IPL Linux directly, then you need to add the mkswap to your start-up there, so that it can happen each time as the system comes up, without the need for CMS and its tools. Either way will work equally well. -- Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation.~.

Re: VDISK Swap
No, the only place I have them defined is in the USER DIR. Where do I put swapgen exec. Assuming all your Linux guests are similar, and that they all IPL from the same virtual address (150 in this example): 1) Create a userid called COMMON and give it a 1-cyl minidisk at 191. 2) log into COMMON, and FORMAT 191 3) Create a PROFILE EXEC on COMMON 191 that looks something like this: /* REXX */ 'say 'Formatting swap disks' 'SWAPGEN ' /* replace xxx with correct swapgen parms */ 'SET CMSTYPE HT' u = userid() 'STATE' u 'EXEC A' If rc ^= 28 then do 'EXEC' u 'EXEC A' end say 'Booting Linux' 'CP IPL 150' 4) On each Linux guest directory entry add the following LINK COMMON 191 191 RR LINK MAINT 190 190 RR (if it isn't already there) And change the IPL card to: IPL CMS PARM AUTOCR 5) shut down the Linux guest, log it off, then log it back on. You should see CMS autostart, SWAPGEN formatting your swap disks, and then the normal Linux startup messages. 6) repeat 4 and 5 for each of your Linux guests. The reason for the COMMON id is to have only one place to make changes, and you can also change things and then stage them into production because the Linux guests only have read access to it. Any changes you make won't take effect until next time each Linux guest IPLs. If you need to customize stuff, you create a userid EXEC on COMMON 191 and you put all the custom bits for that guest in userid EXEC without messing up the others. -- 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: VDISK Swap
You can just do SWAPGEN - you don't need mkswap since SWAPGEN writes the swap signature.
