Re: Big Dumps
As fas as I know, the Kdump and exec Kernel Dumping Mechanism was a tech preview on RHEL6.3 - its only fully supported by the GSS (Red Hat's Global Support Services) on RHEL6.4 Bellow is a summary of the technical features for RHEL6.4 just for reference: http://www.slideshare.net/ftmiranda/red-hat-enterprise-linux-64-for-system-z-technical-highlights -- Filipe Miranda On May 9, 2013, at 6:46 PM, Shane G wrote: > On Fri, May 10th, 2013 at 2:32 AM, David Boyes wrote: > >> You're probably not going to budge them on that. > > With luck maybe Filipe can bring some more clout to the table ;-) > > Shane ... > > -- > 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/ -- 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/

Shell Account Or zLinux VPS Service
Sigh. I have begun sending out the following form letter to some ISPs: : Alas, after becoming a digex.net refugee in the mid : '90s, radix.net has announced I must find a new : provider of UNIX shell and web page service by the : end of June. For $250 annually, I've had a 10 MB disk : quota and a monthly 200 MB http server transmission : quota (shell networking and CPU unmetered--but watch : it!). Please visit http://www.radix.net/~dlc for all : the information about me you're likely to need to : determine I am an ethical computing professional. I : hope we can do business. I would be interested in leads and other ideas about this need I have. I would prefer to let someone else be the system janitor but I may have to go with a VPS solution. If so, I'd really like it to be a zLinux instance and never have to become an ISP refugee again. -- May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!

Big Dumps
We're running RHEL 5.9 and 6.3. My Linux guys tell me that RedHat support is telling them that the only way to take a dump on System Z is VMDUMP. But our Linuxes tend to be up in the 20-40GB range, and it takes forever (many hours) to take a dump, tons of free dump space in the spool, and many hours to do the DUMPLOAD and of course tons of CMS disk space to hold a dump. I know the IBM dump tools doc says explicitly to use kdump, but apparently RedHat support has been adamant Has anyone else bumped into that message from RedHat?
