 Subject: Time Zone problem

 I have what I think is a major Linux problem (not on s390 of course). I
 have a large Red Hat 8 cluster. I have searched the Red Hat database and
 found the Time Zone patch
 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2006-0745.html but it does not list a
 RH8 version. Any ideas? I have the patch for SuSE already and am
 installing that already on my 15 systems. I found the RHEL3 patch listed
 also that I need.

You might consider the following:

(credit to http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm)

1.  Pull the current tzdata file from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/
2.  Expand the tzdata2007a.tar.gz file into a directory
3.  Run zic against each time zone file of interest, such as:
zic northamerica
zic africa
zic australasia
zic europe
..
zic pacificnew
4.  Steps 1-3 will update the Olson database at /usr/share/zoneinfo
5.  Don't forget to update /etc/localtime with the correct *new* zone info
file.  Perhaps the best way to do this is the setup command in RH8 and
select the correct time zone again.  If not, then make a copy of the
appropriate TZ file.  For me, I did:

cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT /etc/localtime

I believe the above will make your old RH systems up-to-date at the OS level
for the new time zone change.  No guarantees and criticism welcome :)

Re: zfcp and SLES 9 64-bit

 I've run into an interesting issue with SLES 9 64-bit and zfcp and was
 hoping someone here had an idea to fix it.  I've checked the archives
 but saw nothing matching this.

 I've got a 50G FCP LUN on device F100 attached to a VM named LINUX2.  If
 I IPL SLES on LINUX2, zfcp discovers 0xF100 after /etc/init.d runs
 through all its startup scripts.  I then need to log in as root to
 manually mount /dev/sda1 to my mountpoint, which happens with no
 trouble.  Since this is a test environment, this is not a big deal, but
 when we move into production, this kind of intervention is less than
 optimal.  (Call me crazy, but I'd like to avoid the 3am phone call to
 mount a filesystem that should be mounted on boot.  :)  )  Any ideas?

You might try a mkinitrd to refresh the /boot/initrd file.  I had an issue a
few weeks back that DASD was added to an image but not recognized until late
in the bootup process.  Running:

cd /boot
mkinitrd  -k vmlinux-2.6.5-7.244-s390x.gz -i initrd-2.6.5-7.244-s390x
zipl

may fix the issue.  Make sure the DASD that you are expecting is accurately
identifed.  Also note that your version may differ from mine.

 It doesn't surprise me this probably happened...

 Oh well, I hate doing a nodeps rpm...any suggestions?
 I know libc was fixed to comply with some linux standards,
 but I can't seem to find out what libc.a is provided by...

Under Suse it is provided by either:

glibc-devel, or
glibc-devel-32bit

Hope this helps,
