install of Sles10 and you are in the DASD DISK Management screen ,
selected the DASD you want to use, selected the 'perform Action' of
'Activate', why it takes so long to come back ?.

Hi

It pays to make sure the ssh screen is big enough, I was miss reading some of 
the display:


Sep  8 10:28:50 zlnx02 kernel: s390_process_css: channel subsystem reports link 
incident, source is chpid 83



We had a problem with the physical cable.

Sorted now.

Hi Gerard,
it works without "other" issues. But I'm curious as to why you would
want to set the MTU=8K?

Jumbo frames are typically set on OSA's at 8992, so unless this is
strictly LPAR to LPAR on the same CEC, then "PATH MTU DISCOVERY" may be
in order (or setting all IFs to the same MTU) to prevent segmentation if
packets arrive from a OSA and are bound for the HiperSockets. It all
depends on what packet routing you will be doing.

Without knowing your OS's, applications or network topology its hard to
advise.

Re: SUSE on Native LPAR

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi Martin

This is how I have done all my installs, initial boot off the HMC CD, then 
point to an NFS server ( SuSE PC) I have not been unable to get FTP work, but 
NFS works great, 
check the NFS "exports" are all defined correctly,
Have you checked  /var/log/messages on the PC for any error messages.

The only other problem I had was with the IP address of the zLinux system, it  
had to have the same subnet at the first router it connected to.

Subject: SUSE on Native LPAR

I am very new to Linux and am trying to install Linux on an LAPR on a
z9BC.

 

I can load the initial Kernel by putting the CD (CD1) into the CD-ROM
drive on the HMC and perform a Lad from CD.

 

After setting up the network the Linux kernel wants to read the rest of
CD1.  If I tell him to use the HMC CD-ROM the response is "Unable to
load" (not an exact quote).

 

I have tried to use NFS on a desktop which has SUSE 10 installed (about
a year ago).  I get a error saying the request was rejected error = -1.

 

I have also tried using SMB to point to the CD reader on my Windows
desktop and get the same response as above (both of these take a few
minutes to return).

 

Can someone who has done this give me an idea as to what I am doing
wrong?

 

Thanks,   .Larry

Re: DR and Linux native lpar

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi Michael

Excellent question, I was just about to post the same, we also just have
Linux LPAR's, no z/VM.
The question of DR for the LPAR has been on my mind the last couple of
days, I was going to ask if there was some way to support a VIPA IP
address in LPAR,
The other challenge is going to be the testing before we do a DR test, I
suppose I will need to create a new test LPAR

yast -> Network Devices -> Network Card -> Traditional Method -> Next
Select the first device number of three that you want to use, then ->
Edit to configure it.
If you're on SLES10 SP2, on the first screen for configuring, you'll
need to manually add the "busids" of the three devices so that the
configuration file gets created correctly.  There is a fix for that
coming out that will pre-populate that field the way it used to, but I'm
not sure when.

Network Manager

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi All

We are in a similar situation as David, we were defining a new OSA with
layer2 support for CCL and have clobbered the network definitions for
normal access. 
When I try ifup or ifdown the interfaces I get a message " Network
interface is managed from NetworkManager etc etc" as I am unable to
invoke YAST, how do I turn off NetworkManager, or stop it controlling
the interfaces.

Select the Traditional Method, then Next, and Finish.

Re: Cics Transaction Gateway

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Thanks Rich

Got that one already, nice reference doc. I was looking for folks who
have it up and running production,
Do they have multiple CTG's on the same Linux image, or one CTG task per
image , how much memory allocated ( with z/VM or if in LPAR mode)
Did they migrate from z/OS if so why and easy or some gotcha's.
Was the migration the first application on zSeries Linux or an extension
of a current setup.

Looking for help.

 

This is my first attempt at Linux on the mainframe.  I have a trial copy
of SUSE 10 and am trying to install it into an LPAR on a Z890.

 

I have built an IPL Tape and that works.  When trying to build the
system I need to access the INSTALL folder at an FTP site.  I have that
on a Windows 2000 server but all I can get is "image not found".

 

Can someone give me any insight as to what the response to the "Enter
the directory on the server" should look like?

 

I have no CDROM available.  I also tried NFS from a z/OS 1.7 system with
similar results.

 

Thanks,

What does "ls -l /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/dasd-eckd/" show?


Mark Post



Hi Mark

It show a long list of DASD that can be seen but not the UCB I need , looking 
further I see all the DASD devices are linked to CSS0, we have 2 CSS defined 
and the UCB I am  looking for is defined in the HCD GEN to CSS1 , I have 
deactivated and reactivated the LPAR with the same results.
Is there a way to activate CSS1 in "/sys/devices/" ?.

Re: Suse disk missing

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi Again

I have finally got the Disk back online to the Linux Lpar but when I reload I 
get the same messages, I can manually bring the device online,
/etc/fstab has the correct mount points, which config file ties up the Device 
address (0.0.a80d) and the /dev/dasd** name ?.
I expect this to be the 'activate' from within YAST2, but as I have the Rescue 
systems I have to update manually.

Possible license cost confirmation

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi All

I am having some difficulty in getting some one from our neck off the
woods to confirm all the possible license costs for SUSE on zSeries.

My take is that there are 2 sets of cost, 

1: the SLES software itself, i.e. the DVD with the software on it, is
this a once off cost, or a per CPU cost that has to be renewed yearly
2: the costs for SLES maintenance, i.e. for the patch's and fix's, 
2.1: does this also include Version upgrades, i.e. SLES 10 to
SLES 11 as example or am I back to point 1

Gerard Ceruti

Ingres installation

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi All

I am trying to install Ingres on SLES 10 and keep getting a message when
running the install script
"System user "ingres" must be created before the installation can
proceed"

I have created a user via YAST called 'ingres' but still get the same
message.

Looking at the install.sh all that is done is a "SU - $USERID -C EXIT"
which I can do manually.

Any ideas

That one 700 instance is running in a 1G VM, while all other 640

I've worked with one customer that was implementing SAP on Linux for
System z.  The memory requirements were obscene.  Get out your

Re: Betr.: SAP Application Servers

Hi Peter

The remark to Mark was perhaps to quick off the keyboard , as one big
issue I am having at the moment in motivating the possible migration of
applications to zSeries Linux is the amount required and then the cost
of zSeries memory.

The last calculation we did the license saving's was eaten up by the
memory cost .

Hi Gerard,
 
first, I think your remark to Mark's post is wrong. z/VM will certainly
save you in the area of memory requirements. And then some in other
areas, like admin, failover setup etc.
 
To get specific:
- we came from Intel some years ago and reduced a farm of 10 two-ways
with a total of 38 GB of memory to a z900 with one CP (also used for
VM/VSE workload) for z/OS and DB2, and two IFL's with 11 GB of memory.
We were on 46C then. Due to our upgrade to ERP2004 / 640 we had to go to
a z9-BC T01 subcapacity CP, again 2 IFL and about 22 GB of memory.
Response times through all that remained more or less the same.

Hi, Gerard.

To the best of my knowledge, the 3270 emulator that IBM packages with
the HMC code, does not support the cut and paste function, nor does it
come with any handy little editor. I much prefer the older OS/2 based
HMC, running PCOMM.

Try looking at the Linux boot messages (use the Linux dmesg command to

Re: RHEL 5 LPAR install

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi Justin


I do not get an error a such, after entering all the info required (
there is no example in the doco, 
But the data required is listed at
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.1-Manual/zseries-install-
guide/ch-parmfiles.html ) 

The installation process seems to define the localhost network config
and I am sure the network link, as defined by the parm's entered before,
You are then instructed to ssh in and  continue the install, but the
eth0 interface is not found.
>From the outside I am able to ping all the IP addr's except the RHEL
LPAR's.

Using the HMC console I can get into the system but ifconfig only shows
the localhost, I also cannot find any messages in /var/log.

My next step is to try get a OSA port that is not shared, which is going
to be difficult.

Gerard Ceruti

Old syslog mssages

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi all

I had a problem with one of the Linux Lpar's, it looked like something
was looping, I  could only get into the HMC's console, saw the system
was hosed,
Did not write down the message number/format etc, thinking I could check
the log after the system was back up.

System back up and I check /var/log/messages and cannot find the
messages any where.

Does the syslog message file get rotated after a reload ?, what other
log files are there I can check.

Best regards
Gerard Ceruti

These messages describe Channel Report Words (CRW) that were sent to
Linux. A CRW indicates that "something happened" to one ore more
element of the I/O subsystem (CRWs are defined in the "Principles of
Operation" document).

rsc=3: Reporting Source is Subchannel
rsid=B20D: Subchannel ID 0xb20d
erc=8: Error Recovery Code: Installed Parameters Modified

In other words: someone changed parameters of subchannel 0xb20d
(note: subchannel numbers are not device numbers, use a tool like
lscss to see the mapping between the two IDs). Possibly this was
caused by someone modifying the I/O configuration for said
subchannels.

Convert existing mount point to LVM

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi All

Our current disk layout has specific mount points with MOD 9's behind ,
we now need more space on one specific mount point,

Is it possible to turn this mount point into a LVM configuration without
moving the data off ?.

Looking at the doco , the current plan would be to move all the data off
the mount point, delete it then recreate it as LVM and then copy all the
data back ?.

You email is a little confusing?
If I replace all of the occurrences of "mount point(s)" with
"filesystem(s)" is makes a little more sense.

You mention MOD-9s, so its fair to assume that you have a filesystem
that has now reached 6.8GB and is maxed out.

So you need to create at least 2 new PVs each of 1 by 3390-9. Add those
PVs to a new VG. Create an LV of > 6.8GB in the new VG.

Remember to add any new DASD device numbers to your zipl.conf (make a
backup first) and run zipl.

Now you have a choice. Create a new filsystem in the LV and play various
filesystem copy methods using "cp" or "tar", or directly copy the whole
filesystem using "dd".

For "dd", first unmount the existing filesystem. (or at least remount it
RO using "mount -oremount,ro /dev/dasdx1".)
(It would probably be a good idea to run e2fsck on it at this point.)
Use "dd" to copy the /dev/dasdx1 to /dev/vgname/lvname.
"dd if=/dev/dasdx1 of=/dev/vgname/lvname"

Then run resize2fs on /dev/vgname/lvname to grow your filsystem into the
new and larger LV.
(Again running e2fsck on the new LV would be a good idea)

Remember to update your /etc/fstab (make a backup first) with the new LV
/dev/vgname/lvname in place of your old filesystem /dev/dasdx1.
"mount /dev/vgname/lvname" should now mount it in place of the old
filsystem.

If the new filesystem verifies OK - you be the judge of that. Then you
can recycle the old MOD-9. If there are problems then use the backup
copy of your /etc/fstab to remount the old filesystem.

There are many ways to skin a cat, the above is but one of them ;-)

They want to start, like we started, with Linux in an LPAR and have
contacted us for advice.

Seeing how much better life is under z/VM I've been trying to sell z/VM
but they're 'not that far' and are trying to do a proof of concept.

Last time I did Linux in an LPAR it was SLES-7.

Now with SLES 9 being the current derivation, I'm not sure where to
point them for SLES-9 in LPAR mode documentation. Anyone have anything
that might serve as a starting point for these folks?

With all the options available for installing , I have found the best to be
using a Linux PC,
Dug up an old PC installed SuSE 8.1 then 9.1 and now 9.2, copied the CD's to
a directory on the PC and installed using SAMBA and then the last time FTP.
Added bonus the PC is a great playground and you can always get hard drives

I dont remember! It was a long time ago.
One of the problems we had was that the volumes were not INITed for IPL on
the z/OS side. When IPLing, the system could not find the boot record. I
think we had to run a job to put IPL text on the volumes and then
install Linux.

The code 000A000F means that the IPL text could not be found.

We are currently on z/VM where the volumes are initialized under z/VM.

SuSE and GDPS/XRC

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi Folks

We have a small SuSE Lpar that is about to go live and I need to complete a
DRP setup, we have a GDPS/XRC solution already in place and I was thinking
to do a "Sync and Drop" process on the Linux volumes , the LPAR would remain
up during this process. Has anyone else already looked at this ?, would it
be better for me to bring the LPAR down do the "Sync & Drop" and then
restart the LPAR.
As this is the initial system and it might be awhile before we get z/VM and
I would like to get the process in place . Any ideas what the change would
be if z/VM was in place .

Thanks
Gerard Ceruti

SLES9 install y2log too small

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi Folks

I am busy with a SLES9 install but am hitting a problem with
the /var/log/YaST2/y2log ( RAM disk) running out of space.
I am sure this is been caused by the number of disks the install process
is seeing at install time, the disk I am using are spread in the server
frame.
Questions:
-Can I increase the size of the directory structure in memory just after
the install starts (i.e. just pre YAST)
-Can i restrict the dasd range the install will see (with the install
process) otherwise I have to try get disk on a channel set that does not
have as many disks behind it and that might be a problem

Thanks

I was initially trained on OS/2 and DB2 on OS/2 1.3 DBE (Data Base

IMHO if IBM de-emphasizes z/Linux they will be pushing Linux on blades.
  Infact I think they will be pushing either VMWare and/or Zen on Linux and
create many virtual Linux images on each blade.

If you look at the BladeCenter archictecture it is simular to what they have
in the mainframes to day, at a highlevel that is.

I can see IBM developing microcode to allow the blades (think books in the
z990 and z9) to appear to be one box and to logical partition.  You could
have 14 2-way blades with 8 GB RAM each or a total of 28 CPU's and
112 GB of RAM. They all share the same FiberChannel, Ethernet, and/or
Infiband connections.  Could be the next "mini-mainframe."

I can't think of anything as bad as FrontPage. Personally I use Xemacs with

then try Quanta.

Novice software update

Hi all people

I am getting the feet wet by doing an install on a PC before tackling the
install on a zSeries box, all has gone well but  one question has come up ,
I have downloaded all the maintenance rpm's into  a  directory and I now
want to apply it all , but the tool I found kpackage only does one package
at a time.
This there a way to apply all the packages at once (after sorting out any
dependencies) ?, and is there a self checking process available where I may
connect to a web site and the system will download/apply any relevant
maintenance outstanding ?.
 Thanks in advance

Is there doco on how to install the developerworks code, I am waiting for
the powers that be to approve a POC, but I would like to get started with
some self education before.

Thanks
Gerard Ceruti

Thanks Rob

This puts my heart at rest , just when I was thinking the learning curve was
slowing the thought of trying a DeveloperWorks install had me going .

The audience for this code is the distributors and a few skilled people who
hack the stuff themselves. The rest of us will get it in the maintenance
from their distributor at some later time. In most cases you start with a
SuSE or Red Hat distribution which is different from the vanilla kernel
where the DeveloperWorks patches fit on. Reworking the patches to fit some
intermediate level of SuSE or Red Hat is time-consuming. I would suggest to
stick with the distribution for your Proof of Concept. If you really think
there is something vital in the bleeding edge patches that makes the
difference for your PoC, you could ask here for a helping hand or find the
distributor willing to pick up that code.

zSeries , Linux and spin loops

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi People

Perhaps someone can comment ,(assume for the discussion that the business
application requires only ONE CP)
We are looking at a zSeries Linux production setup and the discussion of how
many CP are required has come up, normal rules say we should get another CP
to handle possible spinloops,ensure multi processing, how does this relate
to Linux, does the requirement change if we have z/VM ?.

Thanks
Gerard Ceruti

Initial LPAR install zSeries

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi People

Has anyone done a LPAR install on zSeries and then migrated to a zVM
infrastructure ?, any ideas on this ?.
I would look at the LPAR install just so that we get a head start on the
project , the zVM is part of the IBM bundle that will come a little later in
the project.

Re: Initial LPAR install zSeries

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Thanks Daniel,Frank,David,Rob

I have the HMC opposite my desk, so doing the install off CD no hassle, the
reason for the LPAR install is for us to get some hands on before the
project officially starts. I was just concerned we would have to build from
scratch (which we might do any way) .

Thanks
Gerard

Assuming you can get the DASD used for the Linux LPAR on the new z/VM
system, it would be fairly trivial to make a virtual machine that looks very
much like the LPAR you have now. The Linux system should then run in the
virtual machine like it did in your LPAR  The network configuration may need
some planning ahead depending on where you come from and where you go to. If
the z/VM is on the same machine as your Linux LPAR was, then you could
simply pick up a device on the same shared OSA port.

When you proceed you could either dismantle this Linux server and move
applications and data to other virtual machines, or make changes to exploit
things in VM.

zSeries and Laptop

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi to all

We are looking to start a Proof of Concept (POC) of Linux on zSeries very
soon , to aid my learning curve I want to install a Linux partition on my
laptop, are there any ideas as to what distribution I should install , or
does it not make any difference .
For the sake if discussion , SuSE 8 on zSeries , and 8.2 on laptop , any
problems here.
This would be to facilitate the Linux specific learning , I understand (or
starting to ) the nuances of using Linux Zseries (ctc's etc etc).

Linux and VSAM

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Hi All

I have tried to do a search thru the logs but I am unable to get a result, I
got a question from our Capman guy, is/are there software/plans to let Linux
access VSAM files , perhaps via NFS or natively, as our current zOS systems
all in a Sysplex I would like to leave that alone for the moment (Linux
images would have to be part of the Sysplex etc etc) more the question would
be could we put the VSAM files on a disk and let an application on Linux
read the data.

Thanks

I don't think _accessing_ them is especially tricky. Making sense of
them is another matter, and I think, application-dependant. What fields
are character and so should be translated? What fields are binary?
Should we handle endiannes "just in case" someone takes the files off
to a peecee? What about decimal fields? Floating-point?


Better, I think, to implement access routines (a server) on the zOS
system and chat to it via TCP/IP or UDP/IP. Pass character data in
ASCII, binary integers in NBO.

Quite likely, you can do it in REXX on zOS of performance isn't an
issue.

Hi Daniel

It might have been ctrl+alt+f4 , the reboot resolved the problem , are you
aware where all these shortcuts are documented ?.

Did you really mean rebooting did not help... I'll assume not.  Maybe
you flipped into a virtual console... could it have been ctrl+alt+f4?
Ctrl+alt+f1 thru f6 are virtual consoles though f1 may be busy.  Usually
it's set up so ctl+alt+f7 will get you back to your desktop environment.
But I don't use kde, or SuSE, so maybe what you're describing is
something else entirely?

We have been digging down and there might be an issue with the IOCDS and
that we have not done a POR on the box for awhile (only dynam activates).
this was found out by checking the subchannel and chpids file in /proc .

Let us carry on digging and when we resolve I will post a breakdown.

Thanks to all for the Help

Gerard,

Sure, but yast is on the initrd.  Look at the fourth line put out by the
welcome message: "Then start installation with the 'yast' command."

The fact that you're doing an insmod command for dasd_mod, then both
dasd_eckd_mod and dasd_fba_mod, but nothing is showing up in
/proc/dasd/devices is disturbing.  Do you get any "registration" messages on
the system console (real or virtual) when you do that?  You should see
_something_ if the devices are really attached to the system.  As Leland
suggested, you need to make sure that the system has access to those device
numbers.

It doesn't look like you were.  I just did a "dasdfmt --help" command, and
got this:
   and  is either
   -f /dev/dasdX or --device=/dev/dasdX
   if you do not use devfs
 or
   -f /dev/dasd//device or --device=/dev/dasd//device
   and alternatively
   -n  or --devno=
   in case you are using devfs.
    is your hexadecimal device number.

So, looks like this was changed at some point, and I didn't notice, because
I didn't use the "-n" option very often.  Looks like I need to update my
SHARE presentation.  :P

Gerard,

It looks as though you have your DASD drivers compiled as kernel modules, so
the kernel can't access your DASD to load them, because they're not already
loaded.  Catch-22.  If you're using SUSE SLES8, or Red Hat RHEL3, you
probably have a problem with your initrd not containing the correct modules,
or not having the correct parameters for them.

I would say that you are indeed looking at IPLing a "rescue" system to fix
this.

Re: SuSE SP3

[Ceruti, Gerard G]

Phil

Here is the response I got from Suse on that question:



After you have downloaded the CD image there are two possibilities to make
it available to the system that needs to be updated:

* write it to a CD-R, mount the CD on a work station (for example
  running Linux, Windows or a variation of UNIX) and make it available
  to the zSeries Linux system to be updated, preferably by NFS.

* copy the image to the system to be updated and mount it with the
  loopback driver

  mount -o ro,loop SLES-8-SP2-s390x.iso /mnt2

  for the content of the CD to become available at /mnt2.

Unfortunately, the FTP and HTTP update methods currently do not work
properly.

Note:
In case the Linux system to be updated does not have any HTTP access to
http://www.suse.de please edit the file /etc/sysconfig/onlineupdate and
set

YAST2_LOADFTPSERVER="no"

as the update mechanism uses the YaST Online Update module which tries
to retrieve the current online update server list from www.suse.de on
start.

Next, start YaST and select the module Patch CD Update from the Software
section.

Click the "Expert"-Button (marked as "[Expert]" in the text mode version of
YaST) and select either "NFS" or "Directory" as the type of URL, depending
on whether you provide the disk content via NFS or the loopback mounted
disk image.

Finally, enter the location of the data (host name and path for NFS or
directory for loopback mounted disk image) and press the "Ok" and then
the "Next"-Button. You will see the selection of patches to be applied on
the next screen, when you are satisfied with that selection press "Next"
again. YaST will subsequently start to install the updates.

Note:
The top level directory of the CD contains the files README and
RELEASE.NOTE. Please refer to these files for further instructions
on how to apply the updates.
