Re: CRON not running for specific user

2014-06-09 Thread Scott Rohling
Anacron is different then cron..   it's normally invoked by cron once a day
..   maybe in /etc/cron.d?  It should be the one running the cron.daily and
weekly stuff.See /etc/anacrontab ..

Anyway - you might see if there are already anacron processes running and
kill them:

ps -ef | grep anacron

CRON not running for specific user

2014-06-09 Thread Vitale, Joseph
Hello,

Oracle schedules jobs via CRON.   Looks like user was editing  his CRON with 
using "crontab -e".

Had some messages showing cron was locked.  See below.

Restarted CRON, stopped/started CRON  no improvement.  I tried to schedule a 
simple CRON  as  oracle, does not run, no mail message.

CRON works Ok for root.

Errors when CRON stopped for oracle:
Jun  3 03:01:01 anacron[20959]: Anacron started on 2014-06-03
Jun  3 03:01:01 anacron[20959]: Job `cron.daily'  locked  by another anacron - 
skipping
Jun  3 03:01:01 anacron[20959]: Job `cron.weekly'  locked  by another anacron - 
skipping
Jun  3 03:01:01 anacron[20959]: Normal exit (0 jobs run)

Simple CRON trying to run for Oracle:
03 20 * * * echo hi > /tmp/oracle.test.cron

Re: NFS migration

2014-06-09 Thread Offer Baruch
You need the root option...
root=clientid[:clientid...]
Specifies which NFS clients have root access to the file system path. If
you specify the root= option, you must specify at least one NFS client
identifier. To exclude NFS clients from the list, prepend the NFS client
identifiers with a minus sign (-).

Re: RHEL 6.5 "golden image" configuration

2014-06-09 Thread Chase, John
DUH!

Yep; the Linux admin is working on some automation scripts for the new "clone", 
and mentioned that he had "bounced" Linux several times before noticing the 
HCP messages.  Since we have not yet set him up to issue XAUTOLOG commands 
from z/VM, and he never asked us to XAUTOLOG the guest, that seems the most 
plausible explanation.

Thanks,

If your Linux virtual machine IPL's CMS, is it done in the virtual
machine's PROFILE EXEC, before Linux is IPLed?

You could put a "CP Q 190 191 19D 19E" just before the "IPL "
statement.

RHEL 6.5 "golden image" configuration

2014-06-09 Thread Chase, John
Hi, All,

We recently installed RHEL 6.5 on z/VM 6.2 using the latest edition of Michael 
MacIsaac's "Virtualization Cookbook", which is written around z/VM 6.3 and RHEL 
6.4.

We "cloned" a new Linux guest from our RHEL 6.5 "golden image", and one of our 
Linux admins noticed some "strange" messages in the clone's boot log:

= Begin paste =
part of the golden image configuration included a section on settings at boot 
time - see section 9.2.6 of the pdf.
in looking at the boot log for ch2lqvpsx I see the following messages
HCPDTV040E Device 0190 does not exist
Error: non-zero CP response for command 'DET 190': #40
HCPDTV040E Device 0191 does not exist
Error: non-zero CP response for command 'DET 191': #40
HCPDTV040E Device 019D does not exist
Error: non-zero CP response for command 'DET 19D': #40
HCPDTV040E Device 019E does not exist
Error: non-zero CP response for command 'DET 19E': #40
= End paste =

The concern is over the HCPDTV040E messages for the MDISKs used at CMS logon 
time.

The cited section of the "Cookbook" states:

= Begin paste =
In order for z/VM 6.3 to relocate guests between single system image (SSI) 
members, there
must not be any links to CMS disks. The LNXDFLT PROFILE creates links to 
minidisks and
assigns virtual device numbers 190, 191, 19D, and 19E. These addresses must be 
detached.
The vmcp module is used to accomplish this.

To do these two tasks, edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, which is run at boot 
time:

# cd /etc/rc.d
# vi rc.local

And add the following lines:

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
chshut halt vmcmd logoff
chshut poff vmcmd logoff
modprobe vmcp
vmcp det 190
vmcp det 191
vmcp det 19d
vmcp det 19e

The z/VM virtual machine should now be logged off when you halt or power off 
Linux.
= End paste =

The appearance of the HCPDVT040E messages seems to suggest that the CMS disks 
are already detached when the rc.local script issues the vmcp det xxx commands. 
 If true, can anybody say when (and by whom or what process) those disks are 
detached, apparently before rc.local runs?  Is that "new" for RHEL 6.5?

TIA,

  -jc-

Re: NFS migration

Is this a netapp exporting the nfs?
If so you need the root= export option?
If this is linux then you need the no_root_squash option...

It's the NFS server that's forbidding it. It's very common in all
but the snazziest of NFS environments for the NFS server to "squash"
the root user of NFS clients and treat it as an unprivileged,
anonymous user. This avoids having a root user on any NFS client
getting root-level access to all exported files on the server.

For a Linux-based NFS server, the export options "root_squash"
(which is the default) and "all_squash" (probably not the case here)
do this. You need an explicit export option "no_root_squash" to allow
root on the chosen NFS clients to be allowed to chown and access
exported files as though they were uid 0 on the server. Other NFS
servers or appliances may present the option differently.

2014 VM Workshop attendee registration remains open, final deadline for remaining FREE STUFF draws near: 23:59 this Wednesday, June 11.

2014-06-09 Thread Mike Walter




The 2014 VM Workshop, June 26-28 2014 will be conducted at North Carolina A&T 
State University, Greensboro NC


The "Early Registration" deadline for guaranteed delivery of a free 2014 VM 
Workshop polo shirt (for regular attendees), T-shirt (for student attendees), 
and to order dorm room lodging, passed at 23:59 Friday May 30.

You have one more chance to register before the final deadline for FREE STUFF 
passes at 23:59 PM this Wednesday, June 11.   The remaining FREE STUFF is 
limited to two items:

1)  admittance to the Thursday Evening Gala Reception and Banquet Dinner, 
and

2)  an 'Aggie' debit card pre-loaded with $65 for food purchases in the 
campus cafeteria.
Due to university ordering deadlines, any attendee registering after that time 
will probably not be able to receive either of these at the workshop.


WHO:

z/VM, and Linux on System z Friends



WHAT:

Location, travel, nearby hotels, travel hints, sponsor information, and 
registration details for the 2014 VM Workshop have all been posted to:   
http://www.vmworkshop.org/2014

Session agenda information will be available later this week.



WHERE:

North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro NC



WHEN:

SESSION DATES: From Thursday morning JUNE 26 until about 1PM EDT, Saturday JUNE 
28.

Choose from multiple concurrent presentations packed full of up-to-the-minute 
technical sessions for all expertise levels of z/VM, and Linux on System z, and 
from Hands-On Labs including:

- z/VM 6.3.0 Installation or Migration (your choice),

-'Linux on System z' Installation (SLES or Redhat, your choice),

- Intro to REXX

Wednesday June 25 is reserved for VM Workshop Volunteer Committee site 
preparation and lab setup, if you are interested in joining just send me an 
e-mail off-list asking to join.



WHY:

Previous VM Workshops have been referred to by the small-minded as: 'a large 
number of system programmers with some limited adult supervision' (do you 
really want to miss this!??).  Expect another wonderful "up close and personal" 
workshop with great content and terrific camaraderie.  Come to meet VM 
old-timers... and *future* z/VM old-timers while learning the latest technical 
z/VM and 'Linux on System z' details.  Don't know where to start with Linux on 
System z?  This is a great place to start!



PRICE:

STILL UNCHANGED from the previous three years, ** ONLY $100 per attendee**.  
This is the best bargain out there for z/VM and 'Linux on System z' education, 
and is quite reasonable for anyone paying their own way.  Parking is available 
on-site for $6 per day.



Regular attendees and sponsor attendees: The $100 registration fee for regular 
attendees includes: access to all sessions and hands-on labs, if registration 
is completed before 23:59 PM Wednesday June 11: a Gala Reception and Banquet 
Dinner on Thursday evening, and... an NC A&T "Aggie" debit card loaded with $65 
to purchase other meals and snacks on campus.



Full-time Students: A $10 registration fee includes: access to all sessions and 
hands-on labs, and optional, same deadline attendance at the Gala Dinner 
Reception on Thursday evening.



Spouse attendees: A $0 registration fee provides: an optional means to purchase 
attendance at the Gala Reception and Banquet Dinner on Thursday evening ($20).



HOW:

Registration is now LIVE, please check it out soon!   (Live servers are 
standing by to take your registration!)

Advice:  onsite registration is not likely, and will involve additional fees to 
the university and thus... to you, so register now!



PARTICIPATE:

Compete in the historical (occasionally hysterical) VM Workshop "Ugly Hawaiian 
Shirt" contest for a chance to win a treasured, but ugly prize!   (B.Y.O.U.H.S.)



Place this event on your calendars and please join us at North Carolina A&T 
State University.  Don't miss this incredibly inexpensive, educational, and fun 
event!


The VM Workshop is sponsoring a 12 question survey to help us all better 
understand the current state of our platform within the organizations we 
support.  The results will help us highlight successes and focus our 
conversations and collective resources to address the major challenges the 
community faces.  This is a survey of the community, for the community. Those 
who respond will receive a summary of the results via email.

The more responses, the better the data!  Please take a few minutes to respond 
at:   https://www.research.net/s/vmcommunity




This e-mail was sent on behalf of the 2014 VM Workshop Volunteer Committee.

NFS migration

2014-06-09 Thread Jake anderson
Hello,

Cross Mounted

Recently we did a migration from one NFS storage server to another NFS
storage server. During this Migration all the copied File had owners as
root. In the recent NFS storage server the FTP server option is no more
available so we have mounted the NFS storage to a linux running on VMware
infra(as a ftp server). So when we try change the owner of any file
mounted to Linux we get a permission denied(Even when we try it as root).
The message we get is "permission denied"(This is the only message). The ls
-l clearly gives that all the file has the owner as root.

Has any undergone this situation ? Why a root cannot change the owner(root)
to someother ID ?
Since the files have the User and Group copied from previous NFS storage.
Aren't there anyways to change the Owner and Group from Linux ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jake
