Re: Another article on LINUX & MF hardware
Craig, It should cost $0.00 to convert the engine to an IFL, it is a microcode change. You should then see a cost reduction in your os/390 costs. The cost of z/VM would be $45k OTC plus $11k per year maintenance. That cut in os/390 and vendor software costs could easily cover the z/VM costs.

Question on HIPERS vs QDIO
Cross posted to VMESA-L and Linux-390 lists Hello all, I just created an LPAR for development of Linux/390 applications. We have installed z/VM 4.3. Now VLANs can be created as either type=hiper or type=qdio. I was wondering which definition should be used for communication amongst linux guests and the VM Tcpip stack? Are there performance differences between the 2? Are there functional differences now that Hiper supports multicast? regards Phil Tully

Authentication question..linux and beyond.
Hello all, We have been working on a number of interesting threads throughout the organization with Linux. One of the hardest to get a handle on is authentication, home directory definition, Uid etc. We have an established NIS world directory structure but we are in the process of moving portions to LDAP/Active Directory(AD).(Please no attacks these decisions are well outside my area of control). We have attempted to use the Samba WINDBIND package to provide domain authentication. There is an issue with the local implementation issue with domain trust relationships but when bypassing that issue for now it seems to work. The question is how do we integrate the NIS information into the mix? We are planning to move some NFS servers to LinZ, the current permissions are in NIS. I am trying to find if any one has been able to integrate NIS and AD? The hardest part is the co-existence between the 2. regards Phil

Re: Questions about TSM client for linz
No problem Neale. I agree with your assessment and have not let the local IBM rep off the hook for this one. He (and others) know why the server is wanted and do not understand why Tivoli can't (won't) make a business case for this platform. I have offered my mini-business case. IBM is now publicly supporting a z/VM with linux solution to the world. Pre-installed on each of these z/VM systems is a copy of the TSM server. Over the past 12 months IBM has publicly stated that a number of z900's/800's have been purchased with z/VM where no mainframe existed before (just as important where no z/VM existed before). You know have an operating system with backup solution on your floor. Now just to get supportOh well there goes that solution! BUT back to my original question. Does anyone have experience with TSM client, ReiserFS and/or LVM on linux/390 (or linux/intel for that matter).

Re: Questions about TSM client for linz
Neale, Let's start off with take a deep breath and relax, now exhale! I have been through the stonewalling and misdirection's of Tivoli for the past 6 years as well. I asked a question about the Client, which states no support for ReiserFS, not the server. I am using the z/VM server as a test bed because it takes weeks and paperwork to use the more robust z/OS server. To your point about DR, the current DR practices and procedures used here do not generally involve TAPE. All 70+T of dasd is synchronously remote mirrored. The use of TSM whether against a z/VM server or a z/OS server is for day to day backups of applications and data not DR. Having worked for a DR vendor and being in responsible for a DR plan at a bank (where we had to declare a disaster) I understand your issues with the product.

Questions about TSM client for linz
Hello all, We have done some preliminary testing of the linux/390 TSM client on SLES7. The server is the z/VM ADSM server. In the documentation is states support for ext2 filesystems only. We have not found an issue with backing-up/restoring files on ReiserFS LVMs but wanted to know if there was any other user experience? Regards Phil Tully

Quite frankly most of us have been in this business long enough to know there is NO perfect system. Each system is suited for different things.

We are definitely running with an LVM.

Oracle on linux/390
Hello all, We are in the process of evaluating Oracle on linux/390. One of the Oracle Dba's provided a multi-volume input file to load the database. After file 1 the load stops. It appears either Oracle does not recognize the next file as being part of a mult-volume file or that file 1 is part of a mult-volume file. The dba has taken the same file and was able to load it on an Oracle system on another platform. Any ideas how to get around this? Phil Tully

Re: Process to move to a jfs on an existing system
Thanks for the responses. I am running the SuSE's SLES7 with Reiserfs support included. I read the book as well as the last year of discussion on Reiserfs from this list. Yet it became somewhat quiet in January and was wondering if anyone had more recent experience. I will start some Reiserfs testing on one of my systems today. Phil
Process to move to a jfs on an existing system
Hello all, We are reviewing our options on using a journalized file system. My initial concern is how do we move from ext2 to either ext3 or Reiserfs? Does the data on the filesystem get erased during the conversion (I know I back everything up but I need to allocate time)? Are there known incompatibilities on linux/390? We are using SLES7.

Noticeably absent from the CA security products list was VM:Secure! In the following statement "open-source PAM client to authenticate Linux users directly against existing z/OS credentials." you mention z/OS credential, if ACF2 is running in VM can it use these credentials, or was VM left out of this also Regards, Philip J.

VM virtual lan support routing?
Cross posted Hello all, I am in the process of setting up a z/VM 4.2 system with virtual lan support for connection between multiple linux/z systems and the internal IP network I am using routed since my production environement uses VIPA which requires routed for redundancy and I will need to add that when I obtain another subnet. In the current scenario I am able to connect between the linux virtual machines, between the linux guests and the VM tcpip stack. I am unable to access my internal IP network though. My physcial connection to the network is via 2 Cisco CIP router connections. the ETC GATEWAYS file looks like this : NET 146.125.251.64 GATEWAY 146.125.251.65 METRIC 1 PERMANENT I have also tried adding this second line: HOST 146.125.251.65 GATEWAY 146.125.1.200 METRIC 1 PERMANENT My PROFILE TCPIP has the following coded: ASSORTEDPARMS IGNOREREDIRECT SOURCEVIPA PROXYARP VARSUBNETTING VMDUMP OVERRIDEPRECEDENCE ENDASSORTEDPARMS DEVICE VMLNX1HD HIPERS 7500 PORTNAME PORT7500 AUTORESTART LINK VMLNX1HL QDIOIP VMLNX1HD ; DEVICE VMCIP7A CLAW 9200 VMTPTEST CIP7A NONE 20 20 4096 4096 DEVICE VMCIP8A CLAW 9288 VMTPTEST CIP8A NONE 20 20 4096 4096 LINK LVMCP7A IP 0 VMCIP7A LINK LVMCP8A IP 0 VMCIP8A HOME 146.125.1.200LVMCP7A 146.125.100.69 LVMCP8A 146.125.251.65 VMLNX1HL BSDROUTINGPARMS TRUE LVMCP7A 14920 255.255.255.192 146.125.1.254 LVMCP8A 14920 255.255.255.192 146.125.101.62 VMLNX1HL 14920 255.255.255.192 146.125.251.65 ENDBSDROUTINGPARMS START VMCIP7A START VMCIP8A START VMLNX1HD I have a linux guest at 146.125.251.70 and 146.125.251.71.

CA licensing for IFL lpars
Does anyone know if CA is differentiating their licensing for the VM:Manager suite of products (or individual products) differently on an IFL?? I just asked my CA Sales Rep but his response was "What's an IFL" Phil
Integration with host enviroment (AKA What I want to see from CA)
Cross-posted with Rant mode on! Ok so someone posted a comment about the non interface VMSecure has with the Linux/z (LZ for short) when running under VM. I will skip the argument about a security interface which should be there but how about the following: An interface into LZ so that when more disk space is needed on LZ VMSecure responds with an appropriately formatted volume attached/linked to the LZ Virtual machine so it can perform the LZ magic. Or let CA come up with a LZ worker machine which does the LZ type formatting before it is attached/linked to the LZ machine. An interface with VMSchedule and/or VMBATCH to Autosys allowing for workload process integration between the 2 levels (hypervisor / guest). A signaling process where an LZ machine can have VMBACKUP take a snap shot of a volume that is no longer being used by Linux (like the mirror pair of a LVM mirror). An interface in VM:Operator which would allow VM:Operator automation to interface with LZ machines especially during IPL/Shutdown. Yes I know each of these interface could be developed in house. But with all this LZ activity I don't have the time to build them. OH and that security interface wouldn't be a bad deal either. Regards, Phil Tully Manager z/VM and linux/Z support
Re: SLES Beta and Hipersockets ?
1. As I understand it the changes were made to the drivers. These drivers worked in an LPAR but not under VM, that's why there were also fixes to z/VM CP and z/VM TCPIP. regards Phil Tully Dennis Musselwhite wrote: > > Hi... > > Jeremy wrote: > >We had the EXACT same problem.

Re: **NEW OMEGAMON XE FOR LINUX**
I wonder if this will be on the same non-existent upgrade schedule as the VM product. Always a day late and function short.

Re: Question: 2nd CTC on a SuSE 2.4 kernel
Thanks, I was able to update the /etc/chandev.conf with the second ctc then issue rcchandev reload to add the device. phil "Post, Mark K" wrote: > > Phil, > > You'll have to use the chandev interface to get it to recognize the new > device dynamically, and then update /etc/chandev.conf to make the change > "permanent" for future system reboots.

Question: 2nd CTC on a SuSE 2.4 kernel
Hello all,. I was wondering how to add a second CTC definition to a SuSE 2.4 system. The vctc is defined and configured in the virtual machine but the interface is not recognized. Phil Tully
Re: WebLogic on Linux/390
Eric, I also have the Nov 13 build but found it difficult to get from IBM. It is not the 1.3.1 build (1.3.1 is required before going to 2.4 kernel.) There are significant improvements from the Oct. JVM to the Nov 13th release. regards Phil Tully Eric Biggs wrote: > > When I issue "java -fullversion" I get the following: > java full version "J2RE 1.3.0 IBM build cx390130-20010925" > > This apparently is not the latest.
