Install tape driver error on zlinux
Our linux is SUSE Enterprise Server 11 SP1 running on z/VM V5.4. Our linux kernel is 2.6.32.12-0.7-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.3.4 gcc-4 setup.1a06a7: Linux is running as a z/VM guest operating system in 64-bit mode. Our tape lib is TS3500, driver is 3592 E05. Our SAN switch is 2498-B24. The connection path from mainframe to tape lib is: fcp channel(A) - input port of san switch(B) - output port of san switch(C) - port of driver(D). The special thing is C point is directly connect D point. Rather than through 3953 tape lib controller. The following is my detail work of installing tape driver: (1) download tape driver from website of System Storage Interoperation Center. Before selecting correct driver, we selected following values to narrow target drivers on website search. Product Family - IBM System Storage Enterprise Tape Product Model - TS3500 (3584) with TS1120 (3592-E05) Drives (I asked this info from HW guy) Product Version - TS3500 (B150) with TS1120 (3592-E05) Drives (D3I1_EE9) (I select the last one of pull-down menu, because I thought it is the up-to-date version) Host Platform - IBM System z Operating System - Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 Adapter Model - FC 3324 (I ask this info from HW guy) SAN or Networking Model - IBM SAN24B-4 (2498-B24) (I checked on SAN switch label) The most unsure item is Product Version. I don't know if it is correct for us. I downloaded 2 files. One is lin_tape-1.61.0-1.src.rpm, the other is lin_taped-1.61.0-sles11.s390x.rpm. (2) I'm sure that zfcp device driver is loaded into kernel, because we have scsi disk connected through zfcp device driver. (3) rpmbuild -rebuild lin_tape-1.61.0-1.src.rpm This step produced lin_tape package on /usr/src/packages/RPMS/s390x/lin_tape-1.61.0-1.s390x.rpm (4) rpm -ivh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/s390x/lin_tape-1.61.0-1.s390x.rpm This step produced below error: Preparing... ### [100%] 1:lin_tape ### [100%] Starting lin_tape: FATAL: module '/lib/modules/2.6.32.12-0.7-default/kernel/drivers/scsi/lin_tape.ko' is unsupported Use --allow-unsupported or set allow_unsupported_modules to 1 in /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules lin_tape loaded I don't know why this error occured. Is it means incorrect version of tape driver I used? (5) rpm -ivh /usr/src//lin_taped-1.x.x.x..0-sles11.s390x.rpm This step install lin_taped daemon. But I got similar error as step 4: Preparing... ### [100%] 1:lin_taped ### [100%] Starting lin_tape: FATAL: module '/lib/modules/2.6.32.12-0.7-default/kernel/drivers/scsi/lin_tape.ko' is unsupported Use --allow-unsupported or set allow_unsupported_modules to 1 in /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules lin_tape loaded Anybody has idea for this error? -- 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/

Hoping for Mark Post to step in here. We do provide native support for SCSI tapes in the distribution. I don't know what lin_tape provides over and above that. If nothing additional is needed, then just don't use it and use the native support. If the OP _has_ to use lin_tape for whatever reason, he needs to understand that running with a tainted kernel _might_ put some additional burden on him in the future. If a support request is opened, and the lin_tape kernel module is suspected of interfering with the normal operation of the system, then the problem will have to be recreated without the lin_tape module loaded. I have run into this before. In one situation a customer was using a 3rd party kernel module that resulted in it looking as though nearly all of /sys was missing. If that module wasn't loaded, everything was fine, so the customer had to go talk to that 3rd party vendor about the problem.

We are running z/VM Version 5 Release 4.0, service level 1001 (64-bit).

Re: Cannot Ping SLES11 guests from z/VM through hypersockets
Maybe, net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter was set to 1. I took one of my SLES11-SP1 guest and set it to 2. It now pings from z/VM. When I set it back to 1, it still pings. When I set it to 0, it still pings. I went to a different SLES11 guest. It did not ping, but once I set net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter to 0, it pinged fine. I returned it to 1 and it still pings. I am confused. Why is it pinging all of a sudden or is it just the nature of the beast. Should I set it to 2 globally?

Re: Install tape driver error on zlinux
We ran it for a while on SLES 10. There was a tainted message there too at boot time, but no special action like SLES 11 seems to require. We needed it to drive an IBM ATL. There is no native Linux support for that. Just know that if you do have a problem and Novell is providing your support, you *may* have to pull it out and recreate the problem without it. Probably pretty unlikely, but just be aware. You also have to rebuild the thing after each kernel update. Kind of a pain.
