volume resize
Hello all. We have some Linux servers with mod-a volumes which are 212k cylinders big. To Linux they are defined as fullpack minidisk 0-end. Now there is a request to resize this volume in storage device (DS8800). I found a presentation which says resizing EAV volume is transparent to z/OS and applications, what you need to do is just to run ICKDSF to recreate VTOC after the resize is done. But I did not find anything about z/VM and Linux. Disks don't contain data yet, they are just defined to VG, so in the worst case I can just undefine/define and dasdfmt. It just takes time to dasdfmt 200k cylinders. Anybody has any experience with this ?

dasdfmt
Hello all, I am not sure if I do something wrong here I format a DASD in CP as PERM. Then I provide this DASD to Linux as fullpack minidisk, 0-END. When I issue lsdasd I see the disk is not formatted, as expected. From CP I can see the volume serial on disk via Q rdev Then I run dasdfmt with a -k parameter to preserve a volume serial, it complains that there is no volume serial on the disk. If I run dasdfmt -l volser, it works as expected and sets the volume serial. So either I do something wrong or dasdfmt can set but not read the volume serial. Any ideas ? It is RHEL 5.6 Thank you === Marian Gasparovic === The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind. -- 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/
multipath.conf question
Hello all,
RHEL 5.6, I have one disk with PAV aliases and five disks without aliases in
Linux

Now I want dasdag to be multipathed while dasda-dasde to be ignored by

So my first step was to use
blacklist {
devnode dasda
}
But it blacklists also dasdag !
[root@hqmalnx1 ~]# multipath -d -v 2|grep dasda
[root@hqmalnx1 ~]#
If I try
blacklist {
devnode dasda. (see the dot at the end)
}
It will blacklist dasdag, that is expected, but not what I want to achieve
[root@hqmalnx1 ~]# multipath -d -v 2|grep dasda
\_ 0:0:256:0 dasda 94:0 [undef][ready]
So dasda. works as expected, but dasda works more like dasda*. The only
solution that worked for me was this
blacklist {
devnode dasda
}
blacklist_exceptions {
devnode dasda.
...
[root@hqmalnx1 ~]# multipath -d -v 2|grep dasda

\_ 0:0:515:0 dasdaj 94:140 [undef][ready]
Right now I am not sure if it will work also with dasd[a-z]. and similar. The
best solution would be if I can use just blacklist, no exceptions and it will
blacklist anything higher that dasdz.
Any ideas how to do that ?
Thank you

Re: multipath.conf question
Pedro,
this would be true for RHEL 6.1 which supports HyperPAV and also provides
transparent usage of PAVs. But it requires kernel 2.6.25+ while RHEL 5.6 is
2.6.17.

Re: dasdfmt
I received several responses suggesting not to use 0-END but rather 1-END. I should have mentioned the reason why I do this - the disk in question is mod-a with 212k cylinders. CP (and hence also DirMaint) does not support minidisk bigger than 65,519 cylinders. And I cannot carve up this disk to many small disks for management reasons. Just imagine, I would neeed to use 4 disks instead of one. As it is RHEL 5.6 I need to use multipathing for PAV which gives me 16 devices to work with instead of 4. And I will have several of theses mod-a volumes available in a single Linux. That is why I use 0-END which forces me to take care of volume serial in Linux because I need to keep the volume serial names consistent to naming scheme. === Marian Gasparovic === The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind.

I have been using FF in IBM (on Windows XP) since 2004 as my default browser. It happens about once in two weeks I have to use IE because some specific pages don't work well with FF.

Then we get back to the same old issue with wikis - authoritative updates. Were users to be using such an article, they could justifiably feel severely pissed off were it to have been incorrectly updated, and they were led astray. Comes back to that Redbook credence I mentioned. I cannot agree more. Especially for this kind of book. It is a step by step guide, where each step depends on previous steps. We really did every step and tested it. You cannot do anything like this in a wiki, you need authors to access the same resources. Just getting a machine for such a project is not easy, we were lucky Mike could get his hands on one for some limited time. In wiki, you can have consistent parts, but not a consistent book. Not to mention tested book. Of course the cookbook is not perfect, there are many areas Mike would like to improve, other areas I would like to improve, but given the time constraints and resources...

If I run mkinitrd zipl manually, the new disks don't seem to be picked up and added to the dasd configuration so they are avail for the next ipl. If I use yast-hardware-dasd to activate them, then the dasd id is changed, and the disks seem to be varied online at the next ipl. How do I get the dasd added and mounted at each ipl? Can I add dasd without using yast and if so how? What commands do I need to run? Problem #2 - When I try to run yast2, I get an error message that Xlib: extension RANDR missing on display localhost:10.0 along with a bunch of other messages. I thought I saw something about Gnome in an earlier error message, and I did not install either Gnome of KDE since I was doing a z/linux install, and neither of these have worked very well on previous sles versions. yast seems to work so far, but I much prefer yast2. Can anyone shed any light on either of these problems?

strange performance issue
Hello all, I have a strange question from customer. They claim, their C/C++ application performs purely when running as non-root. Under root it performs well. I have no other info ! Not even what exactly is the nature of application, I know they use threads there and message queuing (not MQ, but built-in). They have z10 BC, two IFLs, no z/.VM, it is just one LPAR PoC project. RHEL 5. And this is the exact copy/paste of their question. quote What environment variables or other system setting we should set in order to run as fast as when it is started by root? What are limits when setting thread priority (lowest = -10, highest = 10 or)? /quote I know this is just a wild shot with so little info, but maybe it rings any bell to anybody ? Any idea ?

I have a z10 with ds8300 disk. Connected thru fcp thru a san switch. storage admin gave me a four digit lun number x1600. In ESS800, i just used to add 12 zeros to it. But that doesn't seem to work with ds8300. I found this hint on the how to use fc attached scsi devices on linux z feb 2007' There are three things you should be aware of when configuring the TotalStorage system: New mask: For the logical volume number X’abcd’ the LUN ID will be: X’40ab40cd’. So i tried LUN number 40164000 but i still cannot add zfcp disk using the installation gui. I also found this redpaper on 'where are the lun number on a ds8000 . How to convert the LUN ID in DS8000 to the FCP LUN ID in Linux The FCP LUN ID in Linux is written in hexadecimal and must be exactly 16 hexadecimal digits. We use the showvolgrp command to get every LUN ID in the DS8000 for each volume. All of our devices used only the high-order four digits of the 16 hexadecimal digit LUN address. We just add two zeros before the two-digit LUN ID in the DS8000, and then add another 12 zeros behind these four digits. Therefore, we place 16 hexadecimal digits for our FCP LUN ID into Linux. For example, the LUN ID of logical volume 1000 is 02. After adding two zeros before it and 12 zeros behind it, it becomes 0x0002. We can use these 16 hexadecimal digits as our Linux FCP mapping. I don't think i understand this, if you add two zero in front, then doesn't that limit the number of lun to just 255 for a ds8300 ? Maybe i am not understanding this correctly. Thanks. Caleb C.

Redhat on FCP
Hi, I have a question from customer. They try to install RedHat 5.4 into LPAR, so no z/VM involved. Not DASD but SCSI disks. They are able to install it, but without multipath for root. I have this link http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-15673 which explains how to make root filesystem multipathed, but it says it can be done only during installation. And it modifies parmfile (ok, that can be done with reburning DVD) but that points to CONF file which is on CMS disk. They say they cannot specify fcp1 and fcp2 during install, only one and then disk is on single path. Any idea ?

Re: Redhat on FCP
Hi Brad, I already have a solution from Poughkeepsie test (thank you Sarah). The trick is to use FTP (not DVD) install together with parmfile which can be modified this way. The problem that hit me is RHEL doc, which talks about parmfile only in z/VM install section and sample parm files in doc always use CMSDISK parameter. BTW, in general, parmfile usage is not documented very well in my opinion. When you can modify parmfile, just adding mpath keyword should save the day I will see tomorrow. === Marian Gasparovic === The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind. --- On Wed, 12/2/09, Brad Hinson bhin...@redhat.com wrote: From: Brad Hinson bhin...@redhat.com Subject: Re: Redhat on FCP To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Date: Wednesday, December 2, 2009, 9:43 PM Hi Marian, That should be FCP_1, FCP_2, and so on.

Re: Using Virtualization Cookbook - SLES10 for SLES11
Judson, Those instructions were just a workaround for a problem which appeared when we updated the book from SLES 9 to SLES 10. Novell support was not even willing to admit there was a change in chroot behaviour, not to solve it. So I investigated what had to be done and those were the steps I came with. There might be again another change in SLES 11. I agree with Mike, look at updated cookbook, this time as a redbook. It does not use chroot and I like that approach more. As Mike says, there are tradeoffs, but I think it is much cleaner without chroot. === Marian Gasparovic === The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind. --- On Fri, 10/30/09, Michael MacIsaac mike...@us.ibm.com wrote: From: Michael MacIsaac mike...@us.ibm.com Subject: Re: Using Virtualization Cookbook - SLES10 for SLES11 To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Date: Friday, October 30, 2009, 1:48 PM Judson, It seems you are starting with the SLES 10 Virtualization Cookbook on linuxvm.org. We did update that for SLES 10 SP2, in the form of a redbook. (see http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247493.html). That book changed the methodology of making the golden image a mount point of the controller (cloner) and had it in a separate virtual machine. There are tradeoffs to both approaches, but one plus to the new approach is that you never have to chroot into the golden image. Just something to think about. Any thoughts? Chroot'ing - a colleague pointed out to me that the more file systems you have mounted over the target environment, the better the chances of things behaving as you might expect in the chroot'ed environment. So, if the target environment that you plan to chroot into is /mnt/tgt/, you can mount the /dev/, /sys/ and /proc/ file systems as such: # mount --bind /dev /mnt/tgt/dev # mount -t proc none /mnt/tgt/proc # mount --bind /sys /mnt/tgt/sys So you might try that first.

It is also possible to get trial contract for z/VM, which is a good idea. Are your CPs on full speed or not ?

I have a job on z/OS which writes data to the z/OS UNIX subdirectory which is __supposed__ to be mounted to the Linux machine. And it does, so long as the NFS mount has been issued on the z/OS system (which is not automated at present) and the Linux machine (which is mine - not a server per se) is up. What I'd like to be able to __easily__ figure out are: (1) is the z/OS UNIX subdirectory properly NFS MOUNTed to the Linux system? (2) is the Linux system actually working? I also have ssh working between z/OS UNIX and Linux. So I think that I can answer question 2 by simply trying a do nothing ssh from z/OS to Linux. If it works, then the Linux box is up. If it doesn't then something is wrong and I need a return code in the batch job on z/OS to indicate this. I think this is doable. But I cannot figure out how to determine #1. What I've come up with is something like: Have the batch job do an ssh connect to the Linux box and do a cat function to write a file on the Linux system in the NFS exported subdirectory. If the ssh fails, then assume something is wrong with the Linux system and set a bad RC so that I know to look at what is going on. If the ssh works, then do a compare between the original file on the z/OS system and what is on the NFS file. If they are not equal, assume that the subdirectory is not NFS mount and issue a bad RC.

Re: OK - a really stupid question.
John, yes you are correct. zAAPs and zIIPs are ment to lower TCO of new workload on z/OS. For Linux you have IFL which is MUCH cheaper than regular CP. And what is important, it is alway full speed engine regardless of speed of your subcapacity CPs. (same applies to zIIP and zAAP). And if they ask why you cannot run Linux on zAAP - because there is a microcode change which prevents IPL on zAAP and zIIP :) HTH Marian --- McKown, John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, I know this will be a stupid question. But I will ask anyway because I have no fear (or was that no sense?). A zAAP engine is used by z/OS to run Java code. The only reason for such an engine was because of the CPU demands of Java and the fact that adding the required CPU power using a general purpose engine would drive up the other software costs. That is, a zAAP engine is a marketing ploy to sell Java (an maybe some other Java-dependant software such as WAS). It is not a solution to a technical problem with Java on z/OS. Therefore, there is no need/reason for Linux on System z to ever support a zAAP (or zIIP or other specialty engine which is marketing oriented). True? OK, why the stupid question? I am hoping (perhaps in vain) that eventually we may get a zAAP to do Java work on z/OS and to get back my IFL (lost during our z9BC upgrade due to lack of interest) for possible Linux on System z work. Our current management incarnation is very open towards Linux. But they still act like Linux only runs on Intel. Well, it beats the previous Windows is the solution to every problem! attitude of the previous management group. Anyway, I am fairly sure that somebody in management is going to ask something like: Why can't I run z/OS Java on an IFL? or Why can't I run z/Linux on a zAAP?. I.e. they'll want to get a single speciality CP to do both z/Linux and z/OS Java. This in order to reduce hardware costs.

Even if you install only Server base and 32bit, there are many packages you can remove safely later. Unfortunately a lot of useless packages have to stay because of complicated dependencies.

Re: SLES10 minimal installation
Bernard, good news. We work with Mike on cookbook update for SLES10.

A print server? A Windows file server? For any of those, or FTP, e-mail, etc. you only need Server Base from the list you presented. GNOME and X Windows should never be installed on servers, period.

In addition, I am not a DB2 person, but I think that there are differences between z/OS DB2 and UDB (UNIX) DB2. Not really large ones, but some toe stubbing might occur when migrating.

Hi all, I'm new to this, so my terminology may be incorrect. We are primarily z/OS but have recently delved in to SuSE (SLES9) running as a guest under z/VM 5.1. Up until now we've used ECKD but will be installing a DS8100 formatted as FBA (SCSI over FCP). Cloning guests is painless and quick on CKD, but am told cloning FCP-attached SCSI Linux systems is more complicated. Currently our master image resides on 2 3390-9s , and except for /boot, is defined in one volume group. This relatively small system can then be propogated with each Linux instance needed. It takes about 30-45 minutes to create a new Linux image. Once a Linux image is built, if additional space is needed we're hoping we can simply add the larger SCSI disk to the volume group. I am having a hard time finding information on mixing disk architecture in an LVM. Since the CKD is emulating FBA, does LVM even care that it is CKD as opposed to FBA? Is anyone out there doing this? Thanks in advance for any help.

Our focus at that time was the QDIO model because it included the necessary broadcast support. APAR VM63172 made it possible for the qeth driver to obtain the MAC address that we generated for the virtual NIC. I can imagine a couple of reasons why the HiperSockets connections might still show MAC of zeroes: (1) Older qeth drivers did not send the request for MAC address to our simulated adapters because of IPv6 capabilities. Apparently the hardware added this support along with IPv6 so our lack of IPv6 capability in z/VM 4.3.0 implied that we also could not handle the request for MAC address. The qeth developers released an update to fix this before VM63172 was released, so make sure you have recent qdio/qeth modules. (2) The real HiperSockets facility DOES NOT provide a MAC address at all. It is entirely possible that qeth does not bother sending the request to a HiperSockets adapter (real or simulated). If you define a TYPE QDIO adapter on the same guest and bring up the interface, the ifconfig command should report the same MAC address that you see with CP QUERY NIC details. That would indicate that your drivers are new enough to handle the request.

Re: adding dasd under SUSE Enterprise 8...
You can even do it dynamically without IPL by something like echo add device range=xxx-yyy /proc/dasd/devices Both scenarios are well documented in Linux for S/390: Device Drivers and Installation Commands Marian --- Phil Hodgson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Simple way is to amend the zipl.conf to add the vm address of the minidisk e.g. parameters='dasd=0999,0300-0303, root=/dev/dasdb1 noinitrd add your new disk to the end as the order is important. Then run zipl and reboot. Cat /proc/dasd/devices to see that it is there and check what the /dev/dasd name is. then you can partition it (e.g. mk2fs) and finally format the filesystem of your choice (e.g. mkfs.ext2).

Can someone please point me in the right direction. I've installed SUSE 8 under VM 4.3. During the install I used three DASD, a,b, and c. I want to add another file system on different dasd, format it and add a mount point. I can't for the life of me find where. I thought YAST would be the spot, but there under SYSTEM, Partitioner, it says something to the effect of editing initrd by ssh'ing in. Well, I've found initrd under /boot, but it sure doesn't appear editable. I have the mini disk under this linux id in vm and I've even rebooted the image.

reIPL
Hi all, I have installed Debian390 under zVM, it works fine, but whenever I shutdown Debian, I cannot IPL it again, it goes to disabled state, it cannot mount root filesystem. But when I recycle z/VM, I can IPL Debian again. It happens every time. I think it is something with zVM settings, but as I am not VM enabled, could anybody point me where to look ?

It looks like iostat is not finding any disks. I've searched the archives of this list and other lists with no positive results. I've done numerous web searches with no results. I've upgraded the sysstat package to 4.1.2 from 4.0.4 with no resolution to the problem. I've upgraded the Linux kernel to 2.4.21 from 2.4.17 with no resolution to the problem. The Debian guest is running under z/VM 4.3 on a z/800 processor. Can anyone tell how to fix the sysstat package on Debian 3.01 for S/390? It looks like this is a kernel issue, and not systat. If you look in /proc/stat, you'll see that the disk_io line is empty, whereas on (for example) an Intel system with SCSI disks, it contains info like this: disk_io: (3,0):(454481,215862,18852900,238619,11184288) (8,0):(742898,347204,9634940,395694,6420320) I only tested with the 2.4.17 kernel in Debian 3.0; this may be fixed in newer kernels such as the 2.4.19 kernel in proposed-updates and unstable. -- - mdz __ Do you Yahoo!?
