Adding space to Logical Volume Group by expanding the underlying physical disks?
Greetings! We run a TSM server on a virtual RHEL6 system hosted by z/VM. The TSM databases are stored on a logical volume group that's getting close to running out of space. An obvious solution would be to add more DASD to the LVG. But because we're also running low on device numbers I've been tasked with exploring the possibility of expanding the physical drives currently used by the LVG. I've been studying a message thread from June of last year titled "Extending a DASD partition" which seems to suggest that this approach is possible. The approach I'm thinking of is to * Allocate a single new drive much larger than the existing LVG physical drives. * Copy physical drive #1 to the new drive. * Redefine drive #1 to be larger * Copy physical drive #2 to the expanded drive #1 * Repeat with drives #3 through #n * Delete drive #n With this approach we only need to allocate one additional device number, and only for a limited period of time. Does this approach sound reasonable? There's one issue that I can think of, though: I'll be starting out with a set of devices allocated to the LVG: /dev/dasdc through /dev/dasdj. When I'm finished, I'll have dasdd through dasdk. It's not clear to me where the assignment of devices to the LVG is kept and whether it could easily be hand-edited. I'm open to any comments or suggestions you folks might have!

Re: Adding space to Logical Volume Group by expanding the underlying physical disks?
Ron, Thank you very much for that suggestion. It looks like it might be exactly what I want! I'm assuming I still need to "fdasd" to perform the intial format of the new drive, then just pvmove? If the answer is "yes", you've just made my day! Eric On 6/21/13 11:03 AM, Ron Foster wrote: Eric, I am a SuSe person, but I would consider using the pvmove command to copy physical volumes around. The lvm physical volumes would not have to be the same size. That is, you can copy directly from a smaller lvm physical volume to a larger lvm physical volume and would not have to expand it. (Eliminates step 3 from your process).

If they have a home network that person probably has a router that's blocking all incoming connections from the outside world. If a VPN is involved, I guess it's possible that security/firewall software on their PC could still be blocking incoming connections. Or possibly their ISP has a block on incoming connections. It would be very helpful to know more details about how the remote user is connection to your system. Also, do they get the same 425 error if they do a "dir" command? And have they tried passive FTP if it's available on their client?

For example if you name the VG root resides on "RootVG" and try to access it (via CP LINK) from another Linux system that also has root on "RootVG" then you can't put the VG online. We once got around this by using UUIDs for VGs, this ensures that any root FS is accessible from other Linuxes that can be used as emergency repair machines. FWIW, I've setup two RHEL 6.x Linux systems on our mainframe. My installs were pretty much vanilla, with defaults for just about everything. The root file systems got defined on logical volumes, but I notice that the install process used the host name as part of the volume group name. On our zlinux1 host the VG name is "vg_zlinux1", on zlinux2 the VG name is "vg_zlinux2". We had some problems on the zlinux1 system a month or so ago that were causing fsck failures on the root file system. Because of that default naming convention, I shutdown zlinux1, logged the guest off VM and then had no problem mounting vg_zlinux1 on the zlinux2 host. Took a couple minutes to fsck the bad file system and then get zlinux1 running again. Personally, I like logical volumes!

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?

ZFS or LVM2 on Debian?
Hello, fellow Linux/390 list members! The company where I works runs a mainframe Debian system for a variety of functions. One critical function is backing up the server that provides our "public" Internet presence (Web, FTP, mail and so forth). Every night we use rsync to backup the public system (which runs RHEL on an Intel box) to our Debian system, which in turn is backed up to our z/OS system using Tivoli Storage Manager. We've recently run into a situation where the amount of data coming from the public server exceeds the space we've allocated for backups on the Debian system. Right now, the backup data is written to an ext3 file system mounted on a directory called "/archive". We're looking at replacing that ext3 file system with something that can span multiple physical drives. lvm2 seems an obvious solution, since it's fully supported by Debian. I've also had a recommendation for Sun's ZFS, but it looks like I might have to build ZFS from source since it's not present in the apt repository that we're using. Based on some discussion about logical volumes from a month or so ago, lvm2 seems like a reasonable approach at this point. But I'd definitely welcome any suggestions from you folks who have already traveled down this road. Thanks in advance!

Problems building gcc 3.4.0
I've successfully installed the Linux 2.2.16-based system from Marist. Now, I want to make the big jump to the 2.6.5 kernel by building the kernel from source and the the IBM DeveloperWorks "April 2004 stream" patches. My roadmap: update binutils and gcc as suggested by DeveloperWorks, and then build the 2.6.5 kernel. My first step was to download the source for the binutils 2.15.90.0 package and perform a build. That process seems to have completed successfully. Next, I downloaded the source for gcc 3.4.0 and started to build that package. The stage 1 "bootstrap" xgcc compiler was successfully built. It looks like stage 2 of the compiler build process started, with the first step being the build of the "genmodes" program. However, when the build process tried to run genmodes, the build stopped with the error: /bin/sh: ./genmodes: cannot execute binary file This seems to be very similar to an error that Dennis G. Wicks reported back in 2001, trying to build gcc 2.95.3: http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvtype?LINUX-VM.17569 Ulrich Weigand diagnosed the problem as an issue relating to the ELF header flag to designate the S/390 architecture: http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvtype?LINUX-VM.17572 Right now, I'm trying the hack suggested by Dr. Weigand in his post, but I thought I'd ask this group a more general question: am trying to make too big a jump by upgrading from the 2.2.16 kernel directly to 2.65?

The message repository seems to exist in the correct place: xxxlinux:/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/lang/en_US# ls -ld dsmclientV3.cat -r--r--r-- 1 root root 665244 Oct 12 06:13 dsmclientV3.cat Offhand, the only things I can think of are incorrect permissions or ownership settings for the message repository, but I don't see anything in the docs defining appropriate values. Or, possibly I'm missing a configuration setting somewhere that tells dsmc where the repository lives, but again, I can't find anything in a quick search of the docs to suggest a configuration setting or environment variable that defines where the repository is stored.

Yes, it does match. You might do an "strace dsmc query session" to
see if
anything jumps out at you. (If you've never done an strace before, it's
quite an experience.)
That was an excellent idea!!!
First, I ran the strace command with DSM_DIR set to
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin. From what I see in the strace listing, it
looks like dsmc tries to find dsmclientV3.cat in several possible
locations:
open("/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/en_US/dsmclientV3.cat", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/C/dsmclientV3.cat", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES/dsmclientV3.cat", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/C/dsmclientV3.cat", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES/dsmclientV3.cat", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
open("/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/en_US/dsmclientV3.cat", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
The filelist you provided in a previous note shows that the message
repository should be:
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/lang/en_US/dsmclientV3.cat
Which is where it lives on my system, too. But the strace listing shows
no attempt to open the file from that directory. Thinking this might be
an artifact of my DSM_DIR setting, I unset the variable and ran another
trace. Same results.
At this point, I'm kind of wondering: if I'd used "rpm" to install TSM
instead of Debian's "alien" and "dpkg" commands, might there have been a
post-install script that set links in the bin directory to the message
repository? How about your system; do you have a
ba/bin/en_US/dsmclientV3.cat file or symlink?

Actually, that's not completely true; there's at
least one free NFS client for Windows:
Microsoft's "Services For Unix" ("SFU") package:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/interopmigration/unix/sfu/default.mspx
This free download for Windows 2000/XP includes
both an NFS client *and* and server.
Another option might be Cygwin:

I believe this free package might also come with an NFS client.
Both packages provide extensive Unix-type
environment for Windows, including goodies like
the bash shell, perl, awk, X server and most of your favorite tools.
However, as José L. Ramírez points out in his

NFS server in order to access the filesystems
exported by the server. AFAIK, neither SFU or
Cygwin provide an equivalent to the "mvslogin"

In-place upgrade of RHEL 6.x to 7.x
We are currently running RHEL 6.9 on top of z/VM. We are contemplating
an upgrade to RHEL 7 in order to support Spectrum Protect 8.1.4.
RHEL supposedly supports an in-place upgrade from the latest version of
RHEL 6.x to 7, but I'm coming across discussions suggesting that the
in-place upgrade path is not without serious pitfalls. I've run the
upgrade advisor ("preupg") on one of our RHEL6 systems, the results
suggested a great deal of manual work would be required to complete the
upgrade. Our alternative is to create a new, clean RHEL 7 system and
then migrate Spectrum Protect.
Has anyone on the list tried this kind of upgrade? How well did it work
for you?
Thank you!

I don't see such a binary 'preupg' in a base RHEL
distribution. There are a couple of attempts in RHEL and in
Fedora space, called, respectively: preupgrade and
preupgrade-assistant. I know that the CentOS rebuild project
wiki recently (within the last two months) added BIG RED
WARNINGS about being stale, bit-rotted, and not usable, to
their former outline respecting moving across Version major
releases
As you note the 'support' and scope of work with 'across major
Version' of the Red Hat product is at best, a limited form of
support
I would be interested in seeing a copy ( a private response is
fine) of:
rpm -qf `which preupg`
and then:
rpm -qi (result_from_first_command_above)
just to run down the sources in play at your shop
I have done such 'cross major Version' moves, with 'walking'
in a new kernel and glibc and python and rpm, and reboots to
get new libraries, etc in play; but the process is not clean
and not for the novice. I knew I had a full set of tested
backups and a willingness to revert to them and start again
(and indeed had to do so)
There is no doubt in my mind that it will be less stressful,
and be done sooner, deploying a new '7' box and configuring it

Summary : Preupgrade Assistant advises on feasibility of system
upgrade or migration
Description :
Preupgrade Assistant analyses the system to assess the feasibility of
upgrading the system to a new major version. Such analysis includes a
check for
removed packages, packages replaced by partially incompatible packages,
changes
in libraries, users and groups, and various other services. A report of this
analysis can help admins with the system upgrade by identification of
potential
troubles and by mitigating some of the incompatibilities. The data gathered
by Preupgrade Assistant can be used for the in-place upgrade or migration of
the system, where the migration means a new system installation that
retains as
much of the old system setup as possible.

More specifically: * z/OS 2.4 is running on an LPAR on a z15. * z/VM 7.1 is also running on a second LPAR on the same z15. * RHEL 8.3 is running as a guest of the VM system, using kernel version 4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.

Re: IP change for a Linux guest
This is something I've done occasionally in our z/VM guests. All through an ssh session, no less! (Note that our Linux guests are running RHEL8.) In my case, I have a network connection called "enccw0.0.f804". I use the "nmtui" command to make any changes to the connection definition. Then I'll issue the command: nmcli conn down enccw0.0.f804 ; nmcli conn up enccw0.0.f804 The first nmcli command turns off the connection. The second nmcli brings the connection back up, picking up the changes I made with nmtui. Of course this will drop your connection to the original IP address, forcing you to re-establish an ssh connection to the new IP address. You have to stack the two nmcli commands as shown. Obviously, if you just use the first nmcli command you'll never be able to re-establish your ssh session. As a "back door": if I were to issue the first nmcli command without stacking the second, I could still get on to the Linux system by logging on to the guest using a 3270 session. Granted, Linux doesn't support 3270 sessions very well (at least not ours). Full screen applications like vim don't work very well on a 3270 session. But most command-line commands that read from stdin and write to stdout/stderr do work. So through my 3270 session I could issue the "nmcli conn up" command to re-enable ssh sessions.
