Assistance COnnecting to Samba
Morning, I don't have much experience with linux, and I haven't had to work with this server in quite a while. SuSE Linux 11 SP 1 running in an LPAR (yes, an LPAR, no z/VM). I am receiving the following messages on the HMC Integrated Console (I also see them in /var/log/messages: Sep 9 11:25:44 galileo smbd[7579]: [2013/09/09 11:25:44, 0] lib/util_sock.c:1498(get_peer_addr_internal) Sep 9 11:25:44 galileo smbd[7579]: getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected I think I know the endpoint it's complaining about - my PC. But I can't figure out how to verify that. Also, I can't map a new network drive to the linux server. I think if I could map another drive to the 'proper' directory, it would fix this issue. I have one network drive mapped successfully, to my /home directory, and it works. I should have a second drive mapped to /usr/share/doc/manual directory, but when I try to make the connection, Windows complains. It says one of three things: the server doesn't exist, the server exists but it can't access the directory, or the server exists but I misspelled something. This is Win/7 Pro 64-bit, if that matters.

Re: Can't Connect to Linux LPAR
Mark, It was an issue with the default gateway. I'm not sure why, but the default gateway was set to 157.145.4.150. The proper default gateway IP is 157.145.4.50. So, that part is working, now. However, ssh is still having problems. Putty says that software caused/forced a disconnect. This occurs after I enter the password. If I try cygwin Xterm, after I enter the password I get the following, and se sessions is basically hung. All I can do is close it.

Install a Bacula server on one of your distributed hosts that has access to larger capacity tapes and install the Bacula client on this LPAR. Much easier. If you must do the backups from here, Bacula server and client can deal with 3480s directly on the Linux LPAR. Make sure that the tapes are moved over, then activate them by echo "1" > the appropriate device address node in /proc.

RMAN to disk works fine (in your case, NFS mounting a chunk of disk on another host would be smartest). You probably could do it directly to tape, but Linux and multivolume tape is not straightforward, and RMAN doesn't cope very well with it. -- 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/
Re: Backing up SLES 11 SP1 and Oracle
Thanks Tom, A great help! Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info. Systems Support Analyst County of Ventura, CA 805-662-6731 david.stu...@ventura.org>>> "Tom Duerbusch" 4/6/2011 2:55 PM >>> Can you define a NFS server on the same imageyour can... You can define a lot of things on the same image...but... Linux memory management isn't as strong as VM, VSE or MVS...so one application can cause real problems for others. But it is doable. No, I didn't define a NFS server on the same image. You can define a second LVM on the same image. In this case, the first LVM is for Oracle (if you don't need top performance, LVM for Oracle tablespaces reduces management quite a bit) and the second LVM for Oracle backups. In my case, I defined the LVM on a NFS server, and then mounted space on the NFS on the Oracle image. How did I use z/VSE to backup it up? Wellat first, I cheated. I ran a small tape job on VSE to create the dataset (open, write, close) for Dynam file VT.TAR.3420.ARCH I then varied off the drive and varied it on the Linux LPAR. Here are my notes on what I did then: SUSE 11 Tar Tape Processing *** must install mt_st RPM to use hardware compression on the IBM 3590 drives. *** provides mtst support vary on 5b1 (vary it off on the 390 side first) attach 5b1 linux72 Logon as: root lstape FICON/ESCON tapes (found 1): TapeNo BusID CuType/Model DevType/Model BlkSize State Op MedState N/A 0.0.05b1 3590/50 3590/11 N/A OFFLINE --- N/A SCSI tape devices (found 0): Generic DeviceTarget Vendor ModelType State chccwdev -e 0.0.05b1 Setting device 0.0.05b1 online Done lstape FICON/ESCON tapes (found 1): TapeNo BusID CuType/Model DevType/Model BlkSize State Op MedState 0 0.0.05b1 3590/50 3590/11 autoUNUSED --- LOADED SCSI tape devices (found 0): Generic DeviceTarget Vendor ModelType State dir /sys/class/tape390 total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 19 16:18 ntibm0 -> ../../devices/css0/0.0.0014/0.0.05b1/tape390/ntibm0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 19 16:18 rtibm0 -> ../../devices/css0/0.0.0014/0.0.05b1/tape390/rtibm0 mtst -f /dev/ntibm0 rewind mtst -f /dev/ntibm0 fsf 1 mtst -f /dev/ntibm0 compression 1 tar -b 64 -v -pcf /dev/ntibm0 *.3420 (produce tar file on tape) -b 64 (block at 64 512 byte blocks i.e. 32k) -v show files as they are being processed -p -c -f file to send tar to (/dev/ntibm0) mtst -f /dev/ntibm0 eof 2 mtst -f /dev/ntibm0 rewind mtst -f /dev/ntibm0 fsf 1 tar -b 64 -tvf /dev/ntibm0 (list tar contents from tape tar -b 64 -xf /dev/ntibm0 204344.3420 (retrieve single file to current directory) All 3420 tapes takes about 14GB With hardware compression, that is about 25% of the tape used.

You know that with the CSI stack, you can ftp to/from a tape. Good to have it mounted first else the FTP will timeout. I have sent a tar file, as binary to the tape drive. Then I had to work on production stuff and haven't got back to it. What still needs to be done: I need to ftp get the tar from the tape to another filename. Do a tar to list the contents of the tarfile (validate nothing got changed during transmission). Perhaps extact the files, to another directory and compare the results to the original directory.

If you can afford to take your Oracle image down, perhaps frequently, or you can afford lots of disk space, you can replace the NFS server with a LVM setup on your Oracle image, just for backups. Having separate images is nice as it allows you to take the non-Oracle images down and make changes. But if you only have a single LPAR for Linux and no VM, you can do everything in one server.

Re: FTP Security Issue
Mark, Yes, they can sign on successfully. The failing user-id is oracle, which we used to install the oracle DB. If I do a "ftp 127.0.0.1" it connects, but when I sign on, it still gives me the login failed message. I don't have a local firewall configured/active. I do have the proxy configured, because without it, I can't get outside our local network. Beyond that, I don't know what else to look for. What's puzzling is that my user-id works.

FTP Security Issue
Afternoon, A fairly new linux admin here. I am running SLES 11 SP 1. I activated an FTP server, and I can sign on successfully, using my 'user' id, using the same credentials that I use to sign on to the SLES 11 system. But other users can't sign on. When they try to sign on, they receive a 530 Login incorrect error. Some of the failing users were created after the FTP Server was setup/activated, if that makes any difference. And I can't find anything, via YaST(2) regarding authentication for the FTP server.

SUSE 11 SP 1, Oracle 10g Install - Network Config Assistant Fails
Morning all, A fairly new Linux Admin here. I'm trying to install Oracle 10G 10.2.0.2 on to my SUSE 11 SP 1 server, with help from one of our local Oracle DBA's. But she's stumped, too. I've run into several problems, most of which I've been able to get by with assistance via Google. But I've run into one that I can't seem to get by. Too many conflicting posts. The network configuration assistant failed, and I couldn't get the DB config assistant to run (it always retried the Net CA). I received the following messages int he OUI window: The "/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/configToolFailedCommands" script contains all commands that failed, were skipped or were cancelled. This file may be used to run these configuration assistants outside of OUI. Note that you may have to update this script with passwords (if any) before executing the same.

A Mix of LDAP and non-LDAP Users
Afternoon, New admin here. I am configuring a SLES 11 SP 1 system. LDAP has been mentioned for authenticating users. I can't seem to find anything in the manuals, but may very well be looking in the wrong places. Is it possible to have a mix of both LDAP-authenticated and locally-authenticated users on the same Linux system? The LDAP Server that would be accessed is either a Windows Active Directory or a Novell Meta-Directory Server. I'm not sure which is actually being used today. Thanks, Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

Re: Error Creating LVM Volume Group
Mike, I'm pretty sure this is a 'user error'. Right now, I think I skipped a step or two in the 'Cookbook', where you define a partition on the disk and tell it 'Do not mount, do not format'. Don't know how I did that, and I'll know for sure if that's the problem, just as soon as I finish my coffee. Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

I vaguely remember seeing a 4010 return code and vaguely associate it with trying to make a physical volume (PV) out of a disk with a PV signature already on it. That's probably why you ran into this the second time, but not the first. Did you reformat the disks at the "DASD Management" screen? I'm guessing not. Try the install again making sure you activate and format all disks that will need to become PVs. Also, in the "Add Partition on " screen, heed the statement in the Cookbook: "The disk /dev/dasdb1 will be used in a logical volume. Select "Do not format partition" and "Do not mount partition". I believe this will prevent the 4010 error. Hope this helps.

You might want to check to see if level 3 starts the font server (xfs); your remote workstation might be expecting to find it.

Mark, I ran the command, and the output is attached. And as I said previously, the YaST GUI worked during, and for a while after, the initial install. But when I went back to do some other things, it's not working any longer. Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

Based on the fact that he gets DISPLAY set properly when using ssh -X, I would guess "yes." Now, there are a number of other packages that need to be installed for the YaST GUI to work, as opposed to the ncurses interface. Those might not be there. "bash -x /sbin/yast2" will show some of the tests that are made to figure that out.

Dave, Don't be so hard on yourself so quickly! I just recently converted a RHEL 4 system running on an x86 box from run level 5 to run level 3. After the change I can still connect via "ssh -X ..." and run X applications on the Linux box just fine. (I'm using Xming on a Windows 7 box to connect to the Linux system.) I don't have any experience with SLES11, but on the RHEL box the big difference between the two run levels is that level 5 starts a local X server on the Linux box while level 3 does not. You shouldn't need an X server running on your SLES system in order to run X apps on that box, the X server needs to run on your remote workstation of course. You might want to check to see if level 3 starts the font server (xfs); your remote workstation might be expecting to find it. Also, permit me a dumb question: when you installed SLES11, did you install the X runtime libraries that your apps are going to require?

Extending a Logical Volume
Morning again, New linux admin here. I've added a new volume to the Volume group, and now I am trying to extend a logical volume. I'm following section 11.3 of the SLES 11 SP 1 Virtualization Cookbook, page 199.

SLES 11 SP 1 - Ncurses version of YaST
Morning all, New user here. I followed parts of the Virtualization Cookbook for SLES 11 SP1 when I installed the System (LPAR, no z/VM, so I skipped those).

Are you trying to use the text mode installer via SSH, or the GUI? If the text mode, then you should be executing /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.ssh to continue the install. If that's what you're doing then try running "unset DISPLAY" before executing it. If you're using the GUI, make sure that xorg-x11-xauth is one of the RPMs that gets installed. If it is, try connecting to the system using "ssh -Y" which enables trusted X11 forwarding.

I don't think your config files will be affected. After all, the main thing Network Manager does is control which interface is active at any given point in time. It's going to need those configuration files to be valid. I would say that all that is needed is to use the ifconfig command, not ifup or ifdown, and "route add default gw" to get your network back up, and then SSH in to run YaST to switch back to the traditional "netcontrol" management.

Re: OSA/Express Assistance
Hi Mark, Yes, I did. After the problem originally occurred. Both OSA interfaces were 'dead'. And I tried again after I reviewed the interface files after going through Ursula's procedures. After reboot, both were 'dead' again. I had to go through Ursula's procedures again to get it back. Right now, only one OSA interface is 'active', meaning that I can connect to it and it will answer a ping. The other is non-responsive. I'm not sure where to go next. When I look at the Network Device through Yast, everything looks correct. But there is something somewhere. I just haven't found it yet.

Re: OSA/Express Assistance
Hi Ron, I am using the HMC, Operating System Messages, which limits what you can do. I'll check out the ascii console. Yes, I have two ports. I have two OSA/Express cards in the System. One port on each card is ethernet, the other is OSA-ICC. The ethernet ports on both cards are shared across all LPARs. I wish the HMC Op Sys Msgs allowed you to cut and paste... Let me see if I can get the ascii console working, and check on the files you were asking about. Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info. Systems Support Analyst County of Ventura, CA 805-662-6731 david.stu...@ventura.org >>> "Ron Foster at Baldor-IS" 7/21/2009 6:32 AM >>> David, When you say, you have to connect to the system via the HMC, are you talking about the operating systems messages interface or the ASCII console interface? You say both ports. This implies more than one interface. What is your default route set to in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes? Is it set to one of the active interfaces? When you say you are getting martian messages, could you elaborate? Could it be that the firewall got turned on? The interface might be up, but the firewall is disallowing all traffic. Also, there is some sort of OSA support tool that our zOS guy uses. He can go look at the OSA and the what LPARS are attached to an OSA and what addresses they are using. The people who know how to use this tool are out today at a meeting. Do you all have someone who can look at the OSA with this tool and find out if the Linux LPAR is really attached and what address it is using. In my limited experience running Linux in LPARS, there are only a few files that have to be right to get the network up. /etc/sysconfig/network/persistentnetworkname (in our case) ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a100 /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hardware name (in our case) hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a100 /etc/sysconfig/network/routes And possibly /etc/hosts Also, if you all are a member of SHARE, there was a presentation some time back that included some tips on how to get the "network" up when it does not want to come up. If you do not have ascii console mode running, it might be worthwhile to use google to find this presentation. (A lot of the presentations are on the linuxvm.org website.) If I remember correctly, the presenter said that by using a few echo commands to the right places, you could get a network up. I never tried it though.

Re: SLES 10 SP 2 - OSA-Express Setup Assistance
Hi Mark, I'm configuring via YaST(2), as that's what I'm most familiar with. What I'm trying to set up is two separate ports, following the naming standards for the 'domains' on the other LPARs. eth0: ip: 157.145.4.159 name: tcpgalileo eth1: ip: 157.145.4.160 name: ftpgalileo They both share the same network mask: 255.255.252.0, gateway: 157.145.4.50, and dns servers: 157.145.4.48, 157.145.4.26 right now, eth0 is running as 4.160, and it will not connect when I try to ssh to it. Also, it does not respond to a ping from my PC. eth1, running as 4.159, does connect. The basic idea is to separate the 'small block size' traffic from the 'big block size' traffic (ftp, lpr, Samba, NFS, etc). Thanks, Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

I think you're going to have to provide examples. Commands issued, results received, etc. What you want to do, as you experienced previously, is entirely feasible.

The other weekend the problem was with an OSA adapter in an LPAR. A few days ago, a cohort of mine had a similar problem with Hipersockets in a VM guest. She fixed the problem by putting the addresses in the CHANIDS. I just repeated the scenario with a Linux guest with hipersockets and separating the addresses with just spaces worked for me. (I did not have an LPAR I could take down just now. I had a guest under zVM that had a hipersocket connection that I could play with.) Let's try something. Get into yast. Edit the first address. 0.0.530.(I assume your addresses are 530, 531, and 532-not 531, 531, 532. On our system the OSA's require three addresses.) Put all the addresses in the CHANIDS separated with just one space. Finish up with yast and get completely out of it. Now cd /etc/sysconfig/hardware. You will see one file for each device on the system, including disk drives. You should see one called hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.0530. When you cat that file, you will see a line that starts with CCW_CHAN_IDS. That is where yast stuffs the addresses you give it. Check to see if that parameter has what you want in it. If you want to perform some further checking, another file that yast is creating would be /etc/sysconfig/network/ifconfig-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.0530. When you cat that file, you see most of the other definitions that you put inside of yast.

SuSE 10 SP 2 - New Install - Misc Questions
Morning all, Yesterday I completed a new install of SLES 10 SP 2 into an LPAR. During the install, I defined one OSA-Express port, and it appears to be working fine. However, I have several networking related nuisances and questions. 1) How do you define a second OSA-Express port? I tried defining it using YAST, but the OSA-Express is running QDIO, and YAST seems to treat each individual address as a separate network card, rather than using the three required for QDIO. I chose a network type of QETH. I didn't see anything specific to QDIO, but thought QETH was probably the closest. 2) Novell Customer Center - We have a proxy between our internal network and the internet. I configured the proxy, and the 'test connection' says that it works ok, but when I try to 'register', check for patches, etc., it says that it can't connect. And that's enough for so early in the morning. TIA, Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

Thanks Mark, Where can I find the Release Notes for SLES10 GA? I found them for SP2, and then for SP 1, but I can't seem to locate the GA Release Notes anywhere. I had a little fun getting the install system to 'talk' to my FTP Server, and then the proper directory, but I worked it out. I'm up to DASD configuration... Thanks, Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

Bruce, I have a z9 BC. And the HMC has enhanced 'load from remote source' over my previous processor. Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

The way the HMC works and what your options are depend on the machine. If you were lucky enough to have a z10, then you could use the z/VM Evaluation Edition for a quick way to start, or even better, as David suggests, get a "loaner" z/VM.

Re: SuSE 10 SP 2 - LPAR Install - Gotcha's?
David, I know I can get a 'loaner' of z/VM. But my z/VM skills are quite old, very rusty, and I was never a (z/)VM Sysprog, anyway. I'm a (z/)VSE Sysprog! I know, there are 'cookbooks' (I have them). And while I wouldn't mind a z/VM trial, I wouldn't want it to go away in a few months, and then not have anything running. I'd rather have it running, sans z/VM, and then add z/VM later. As for running in an LPAR, one must make do with what one has available... Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

Mostly because the economics of Linux in LPARs doesn't work very well. The virtualization component of z/VM is what makes it interesting. -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
SuSE 10 SP 2 - LPAR Install - Gotcha's?
Morning all, I am preparing to do a new 'bare-metal' (i.e. LPAR) install of Suse 10 SP 2. No, no z/VM, no IFL. (Maybe if I'm good, Santa will ...) I installed SLES 9 SP 3 at one time, with considerable assistance from a Novell engineer (Thanks Mike!), so I have done this once before. But now it's time for SLES 10. I am looking for any pointers, gotcha's I need to watch for, hints/tips, etc. I did search the archives, but it seems that very few people are doing what I am trying to do.
