Re: SLES and XIV san

2014-09-23 Thread Offer Baruch 
One more thing...
When using xiv it is important to utilize all 6 interface modules (if you
have all 6 of them).
Meaning 6 paths to the xiv. 3 from each fabric.
Use at least 2 zfcp devices... 1 from each fabric

Re: SLES and XIV san

2014-09-23 Thread Offer Baruch 
Hi...
If you are using npiv you can use the following zfcp module parameter:
zfcp.allow_lun_scan=1
This will automatically add the zfcp luns automatically.
All you need is to set the zfcp device online and all luns that are
available through the san will be there dynamically.

Really no need to define them one by one.

I would say that if you're going to be adding (and eventually removing) a fair 
number of LUNs from each guest, then using the YaST dialog would probably be 
more efficient for you.  If ti's only one or two, then manually running a 
zcfp_disk_configure command for each of them won't be too bad.

I recommend that you configure your IBM LUNs very much like you've
configured your EMC LUNs. But might help to put them on different FCP
adapters. (If there is/was any adapter re-use, which often does make
sense.)

How are the EMC volumes defined now? how many paths?

Are you using LVM? If so, you can _possibly let LVM do the actual
migration_. That's a big help.

Is the IBM storage on different switches or the same fabric?

As far as filesystems and data, a LUN is a LUN. Seriously. It should not
be difficult once the layout is identified.

SLES and XIV san

2014-09-23 Thread Smith, Ann (CTO Service Delivery) 
We need to migrate all san luns from EMC vmax2 to IBM XIV.
I've been looking for doc on how to configure XIV luns with SLES11.
For example - are multiple zfcp_disk_configure commands required?
How many fcp addresses are dedicated to VM guest?
I am a bit confused about the additional paths.

If other folks have moved to XIV perhaps they can point me in the correct 
direction.
Thanks

Re: New Redbook: Practical Migration from x86 to Linux on IBM System z

2014-09-23 Thread John McKown 
Well, I've entered a new "memo to self": Don't post a message before
the _second_ diet coke has hit the blood stream. I am basically forced
into being a "morning person" and am not good at it. Oh, the body gets
up at 05:00. The mind, well, "sometime after" that. My apologies for
being slow of mind and fast of mouth.

I have not yet read the Redbook. But I am less than impressed that I must now 
"sign up" for Redbooks in order to download them. And even more irritated that 
if I want to download both the PDF and epub versions, I must "sign up" 
__twice__. Oh well, I guess _somebody_ has to foot the bill for these. And I 
guess marketing is now responsible.
