Re: tn3270e

Is the error on the Linux box, or on the 2074? Is it in the 3270 window on x3270? I think it's a configuration problem. I'm pretty sure the 2074 uses a non-standard tn3270 port (not the usual telnet port 23 but something like 7490, just like the MP3000 and P/390 do). You will need to configure this in x3270, but doing this is tricky and version dependent (from my experience). You can try either of the following: # x3270 ipaddress:7490 # x3270 ipaddress 7490 but the one that should work, regardless of version, is # x3270 --port 7490 ipaddress Of course, confirm that 7490 is the correct port number on your 2074; substitute the right value if it's not 7490. Hope this helps, Vic Cross
Xstore or V-Disk
I was looking at my Linux directories and I have a definition for XSTORE, but I never modified the LINUX machines to use XSTORE. I believe the driver use to be XPRAM for the earlier Linux 2.2 systems. on these 2.4.7+ systems 1. Is XPRAM still available, Or 2. Should I be using the V-Disk implementation for swap space What are your thoughts, and where would these implementations be documented. \|/ (. .) TIA, ___ooO-(_)-Ooo___, Larry Davis

The /proc filesystem is a virtual file systems, only really existant in core memory. There is no actual file storage on any backing store for it. As you can see from the /etc/fstab, it is specified without an actual disk partition as first parameters on its definition line, which means that there is indeed no disk space allocated for it (nor does it use any). As such, moving it to a V-disk is actually impossible. Since it is served from storage by the kernel it is about as fast as it can get. Kris

But can you define non-guest CMS users as you could in any other zVM environment, or is that precluded as well under z800 OLF? Kelly, you can run CMS applications on IFL engines as long as they use only components which are included with z/VM or for which you have a separate IPLA license. This means, for example, that - you MAY NOT compile a C application (no IPLA license) - you MAY run a application (LE is included with z/VM) - you MAY NOT use the NJE/RJE/SNA functions of RSCS (no IPLA license) - you MAY use the IP printing (LPR/LPD) and UFT functions of RSCS because they are part of the base license (don't have to enable RSCS) - you MAY use TSM (ADSM) server (IPLA license is available) - you MAY use DirMaint, Performance Reporting Facility, or RealTime Monitor (IPLA licenses are available) - you MAY NOT run VTAM (no IPLA license), therefore no VTAM applications such as AVS. Get the idea? These controls are not physical, they are contractual. IBM software licensed under the IBM Customer Agreement (ICA) is priced based on processor Model Group designation or MSUs. IFL engines do not have a model group designation and are not assigned MSUs, so products licensed under the ICA cannot be licensed to IFLs. Consider that on sub-capacity uniprocessors such as the Multiprise 3000 model H30, an IFL engine runs at full speed...the MG designation is irrelevant. If there are other IBM products you want to run on IFL and there are reasonable arguments that it is in support of Linux/390 workloads, then, as in all cases where you have questions/concerns about the Terms and Conditions, contact your IBM Business Parter or IBM sales rep to request IPLA licensing and we will consider it. For non-IBM products, contact the vendor to find out if you are licensed to run their product on IFLs. Alan Altmark Sr. Software Engineer IBM z/VM Development

The above rawhide version should ensure it is tested within enough different setups. We've got lots of free coffee! Install rawhide and let us know if anything is not working.

Re: Two More Responses to Sun's FUD Attacks

The statement:This new baby-frame has been factory crippled so that it will only utilize 1-4 cpus and only run Modern workloads is flat and completely wrong in both respects - it may even be actionable, if IBM can be bothered. Firstly, the z800 is NOT crippled in any significant way. It uses a new MCM purpose-developed for the machine. Because it is intended (under other labels) for the Japanese market it has VOS3 functionality - which is a significant plus for the machine.There are a few things that the z800 doesn't support, such as parallel channels - but it also doesn't support VS1:ECPS, byte multiplexor channels or 1401 emulation. What does Sun think it is - a dinosaur? Secondly, and IMO much more seriously - the last paragraph of the story creates the very strong impression that z/OS.e is a prerequisite, not an additional option. In fact, there is no compulsion for anyone (ISV or user) to change ANYTHING to run on a z800. Even most stuff written up to three decades ago will still run. The art of good FUD is to build implications around an indisputable fact. However, these are not facts - they are very misleading lies about IBM's product. They proceed either from quite appalling knowledge of a competitor's product or from malfeasance on someone's part. Whichever it is, it is Sun's responsibility because the site is quite clearly sanctioned by Sun. -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.com +44 7785 302 803 +49 173 6242039
Linux distribution CD's
Are there any Links to RH/SUSE/Turbo with actual cost figures for purchasing S/390 or zSeries Distribution CD's. I know there was a discussion some time back about SUSE and an evaluation price, and production price including maintenance. I have asked Red Hat Sales several times for Costs, but have not received any replies yet. I think my request is not getting to them through their own contact us site. Are there any figures that I can use to include in any proposals for evaluation/purchase agreements. I know I can Down load them free, but that would Take a great deal of time, and I guess I want to have the actual product in house. Partly for Disaster Recovery purposes, and partly personal comfort.

Re: PAV Support - any requirement for it ?
I agree If by definition you can only have one I/O operation active to a UCB, then by supplying PAV's to virtualize, or multipath the UCB you can get multiple I/O's to the same UCB. I have been very reluctant to push use of 3390-9 DASD volumes for SFS and/or users with large file requirements. For a single user/file this should not be an issue. Say you have a single repository or file system that is shared with other guests, than the I/O subsystem becomes a bottle neck. and when you get to DASD volumes with over 30,000 Cylinders, this will be even more a problem. I would be interested in other peoples Ideas concerning these assumptions. Larry Davis, \|/ Nielsen Media Research (. .)

Ingo, Yes, I would say there is a requirement for it, either running in an LPAR, or under VM. _VM_ has a requirement for PAV. Anyone who wants to build a large volume and access it from multiple processes with any reasonable performance has a requirement for PAV. File servers, database servers, etc., etc. Barton Robinson recommends emulating the smallest DASD devices possible to get decent performance out of them, due to the lack of PAV support in VM. That's going to be a real problem for people who have large files they need to be able to support.

I'd like to gather your feedback on the requirement for Linux exploiting Parallel Access Volume (PAV) support available on ESS (Shark) storage subsystems and its competitors in the market. In the past some customers expressed their concern about the data throughput ESCON attachments provide, which made us think about PAV support. However, I would appreciate any thoughts about FICON based storage attachments already satisfying your throughput requirements or whether you consider PAV exploitation a major requirement nonetheless ? Any opinions ? e.g. do you see requirements for it as you can't move to FICON in the forseeable future ? I would appreciate your feedback, either offline or to this list. In any case I would appreciate if you could also depict the business scenario / solution you expect PAV exploitation being a requirement for.
