Re: Anyone what to sell me SuSE Linux for s/390?
The one thing to remember when using other distributions is that IBM & ISV software are typically supported on SUSE and/or Redhat only. Having a choice is part of what free software is all about, but in some cases your choices are more limited. The open source packages undoubtedly run wonderfully on Gentoo, Debian and Slackware, but you really need to be more careful with vendor software. If that is important to you and your company, then the fee for a supported distribution becomes less of an issue.

Re: Easy Reverse DNS Lookup?
I have a customer that runs BIND on Linux for S/390 as a slave DNS server to the main windows DNS server(s). The zones are replicated to the slave every so often. This way, a DNS request is satisfied over the Guest LAN instead of hitting the 'real' network. On Fri, 2004-06-04 at 10:14, Phil Knirsch wrote: > Peter E.

Re: Performance Monitoring for Linux
Sizing is actually pretty easy. What Barton is getting at is that when Linux reports performance numbers, it does so on the assumption that it owns the hardware. When running under VM (or LPAR), it doesn't so you need something that understands VM's influence and can adjust the numbers that Linux reports. ESALPS can do this. As to adjusting performance knobs, it's no different than any other operating system. Small, incremental adjustments until the natives stop complaining. If they always complain, that's another issue. :) On Thu, 2004-06-17 at 12:58, Ranga Nathan wrote: > Interesting.

SLES7 64-bit and Vswitch
I am trying to get a SLES7 64 bit system to work with a vswitch on z/VM 4.4. The interface comes up and I can see (ping) machines on the vswitch, but not any other machines. The SLES8 machines are working properly. The routing (route -n) is the same on both SLES7 and 8. I've noticed that when I look at the interface on SLES8, it says UP RUNNING MULTICAST. On SLES7, NOARP is also displayed. I'm thinking that might be a clue, but I want to make sure. Are there updated qdio drivers required for SLES7 to work on the vswitch?

Re: DASD estimates for a starter zLinux system
I typically start with a template machine of 1112 cylinders. That way three of them can fit on a 3390-3 volume. If a particular image requires more disk space, I will add it to each image as needed.

Re: Cost
Last I checked (which has been a while), the euro was running pretty close to the dollar, so the price is probably right. If you really want to provide official support for SUSE, you may need to just do it. There are a few free alternatives available now that look quite good. But it's a pretty safe bet that the vast majority of production shops are currently running SUSE.

Re: Under what conditions will Linux start releasing Cache?
What is this machine used for? 110 MB of cache is pretty much a waste of storage. If the machine eats into all (or most) of that before it finally croaks, then you have a memory hog or leak somewhere. I've seen that happen with WebSphere and it turned out to be an application problem. The cache will slowly get released to a certain point, then paging will begin and the paging/cacheing dance will begin. When the page device fills and the cache is gone then your up the creek...

Re: Under what conditions will Linux start releasing Cache?
The cache will grow as the data blocks are read in from the filesystem. That is all the cache is used for, storing filesystem data in an easily accessed place. When an application needs more memory the cache will be released to a point. The symptom that we were seeing was the paging device filling up and cache being depleted. The virtual machine would usually go into a loop. Internally, WebSphere was doing some thrashing on it's own. It was basically in continuous garbage collection, trying to release storage for the needs of the application. It turned out that the application was doing a DB2 query and under certain circumstances did not put any conditions on the query, so the entire table would be read into an object (a 120MB object!). WebSphere dutifully tried to acquire enough storage to hold the whole table, but was not able to do so. It would start garbage collection, release a few objects, then some more rows could be retrieved, on and on, until it couldn't release any more storage.

Re: Under what conditions will Linux start releasing Cache?
No, but pretty much anything read off the filesystem is eligible for the cache (unless you're using raw devices). If you want to reduce the cache and your application is reasonably well behaved AND you have limits on the WebSphere heap you should be able to reduce your virtual machine size. Maybe drop it by 48M or 64M. On Wed, 2004-07-28 at 10:21, James Melin wrote: > Ahhh. Well we're not doing anything like that. I was watching the cache and > it fell before any swapping happened.

Re: DB2 versions WAS: PHP4 SLES8 Apache 1.3 DB2 Connect
I think 'toleration' here is simply meant that it is tested and supported to run in a 64-bit system. As to any development libraries for your PHP build, you may need to wait out 8.2.

Re: SuSe Linux 8 - LPAR
It may make sense to throw a few users at it to see how much more of the cache is released. It will be easier to gauge how much memory is actually needed, but at this point I must concur that it looks as if the LPAR is overallocated.

Re: DHCP Server on zLinux
Unfortunately I do not know the name of the patch, but I think it came from IBM. It may have been something specific to support the OSA Express. I think it also required a certain hardware microcode level and a certain qdio driver level. You can try search the archive of this list, there may have been some discussion of it here.

Re: Recycling servers ?
Talk to some folks used to running Linux server farms and they will pride themselves on how long their Linux machines stay up without the need for a therapeutic reboot. We're talking uptimes measured in years. You may need to find the right synergy between the application and the kernel release, but servers that need a periodic reboot may be suffering from a bug in one or the other.

Re: Have a serious problem with mp2003
Or just use the IP address that's on the card already (unless there a problem with it). Yes, you can install VSE under VM and still control the card from VSE (that's how I did it).

That sounds like the part that is configuring VTAM and CICS for local terminal support. You'll need a local terminal for telnet access, so that you can get in to ICCF to use OSA/SF.

The MP3K can do that, I wasn't aware that the MP2K could. In either event the IOCP would need to be set up to use the emulated channel and devices.

Re: Have a serious problem with mp2003
You'll some way to get jobs to and from the system, so that the card can be configured. The configuration member is in a VSE library and the jobs to start OSA/SF and communicate with the card are in ICCF. If you have a tape drive on the MP2K, you can get jobs to and from it via POWER offload (a real kludge and a time waster, but doable).

Re: Weblogic 8.1
That may be a good starting point, but what you eventually end up with will depend upon the application(s) that will run within the server. Linux, application server and java heap size all play into the size. The more applications or application servers, the larger the machine may have to be.

Re: VM Shutdown
z/VM 4.3 and higher have a feature called Signal Shutdown, which will send a Linux guest a shutdown signal when a command is issued or when z/VM itself is shutdown. For SLES8, you need at least Service Pack 2 (I think). Changes to /etc/inittab are also required.

Re: Running servers on z/VM vs on Linux
If you need to have that feature on z/VM, then you would run it there. FTP can be handy, MPROUTE would be used if your network uses dynamic routing protocols. The features aren't really shared with Linux guests, Linux has it's own. They are uses on z/VM just as if it were any other machine on the network.

Re: VMware vs. VM
This is highly dependent upon the number of application servers and the heap sizes of those application servers. Like Barton said, determine if you are swapping. If during normal processing you are not swapping or if the free command indicates that you have a large amount free (or allocated to buffers) you can adjust the amount of storage accordingly. Do this, run for a while, measure again and resize if necessary. Make sure that whoever administers Websphere tells you if they add new application servers, since they take up more memory and your reduced size may not be sufficient.

Re: Another question..
If you want Linux on x86 to be the 'server' it will need to be the one serving the shares (and has direct access to the shark with a SCSI card). If you want Linux on x86 to be able to mount a share on a Windows machine that has direct access to the shark, you would use the mount command and need to provide the appropriate credentials to 'sign on' to the Windows server.

Re: db2 connect
Unfortunately, I don't have a solid answer for you. I'm sure you did the math, based on 40 users at 2%, 1300 users would be ~65%. That's a big chunk. It is probably a fair bet that the usage would be spread out though and 65% is a maximum. The bonus is that you can throttle the performance as needed with the share setting if they start impacting other work. Little, Chris wrote: Is there any information available in the ether about DB2 Connect resource usage? Right now we have about 40 users connecting to DB2 on z/OS through DB2 Connect on a Linux guest with 256M storage and uses 2% of one IFL on a z900. The powers that be, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to forego a staged rollout and, instead, dump 1300 users at once onto DB2 Connect.

Re: VSWITCH and HIPERSOCKETS
You could define enough Hipersocket devices so that each Linux machine that needs a connection to z/OS can have it's own. (the preferred way, no extra routing hop required) You could also define a hipersocket address set to the second IP stack and also to the VSwitch. But then your VM IP stack is working as a router, which is counter-productive to one of the reasons for the VSwitch (but I would guess that this is temporary). Kinnear, Mike wrote: I've researched the archives and redbooks. I think I've come across every combination of implementation except the one I'm trying to do. We have a number of VSWITCH LINUX instances running under one z/VM LPAR. We have a production VM TCP/IP stack that we use for 'older' VCTC connections until we get them switched over to VSWITCH. I would like to communicate from the LINUX instances on the VSWITCH with an z/OS LPAR using HIPERSOCKETS. I don't want to 'experiment' with the production TCP/IP stack, so I am configuring a second stack to do the HIPERSOCKETS links. What I've tried complains that a virtual LAN is not present, but if I'm reading the guides correctly, I shouldn't need one. How do I get the second stack to be a HIPERSOCKETS pipe for the VSWITCH network? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: OSA getting me up to speed
Each guest can get it's own set of addresses on the OSA. It is certainly not uncommon. Another approach is to set up the VSwitch on z/VM 4.4 or 5.1 and use two OSA Express cards for failover. Each guest will connect to the VSwitch, which will then handle the network traffic to the 'real' network. This is not like the Guest LAN, which required a router. The guests on the Vswitch sit on the same subnet. Tom Duerbusch wrote: We are looking at new hardware, and most likely it will include OSA adapter(s). Now, before I spec things out wrong, I would like to understand how they are used and their limitations. Currently, we have IBM 3172(s). 1 Ethernet card = 1 IP address. In this type of environment, I dedicate the Ethernet card to VM's TCP/IP and have it act as a router to my 9 VSE and 17 Linux images, each having their own IP address. My understanding is the OSA card has a dual port card. Can both ports be used for standard, generic Ethernet IP stuff? Not talking SNA over IP or anything else, just standard IP (LPR, TN3270, FTP, Database, Web, etc). Each card has lots of IP addresses associated with them. That translates to bunches of CUA (mainframe addresses). I could see, giving each of the guests their own address, directly to the card, instead of being routed through VM's stack. Is that normal? Or is that mostly for "special" guests, such as those that may operate outside of the firewall? If two images need to talk to each other, the traffic would end up going out on the wire...right? Doesn't seem to be a "performance" option. I could also see connecting the images, with Guest LAN support (not all my VSE images support Guest LANs), which would solve the 'going out on the wire' problem' for those that can use it. Is the recomendation to mix and match? Route everything though a central stack for routing? Give each image their own access? Other? Just what does all of you that use OSA cards do with all those IP addresses? Is the OSA cards, sharable across LPARs? What I'm looking for is IFL and S390 LPARs. From the mainframe side, I'm pushing for redundent access. If the network doesn't support it, it's not my area, but it will be upgraded in time. Points will also be given for items (good or bad) concerning redundency. There are 2 gb OSA 2 Express cards. If cost isn't an issue, I don't see why we wouldn't go with the best. But in other shops, is the network side ready for 2 gb Ethernet? I have all these manuals, Redbooks and other documentation. They tell me all sorts of things (some are z/OS only, I think), but I'm having a hard time understanding how they work in the real world (VM, VSE and Linux).

Re: DB2/VM performance problem
I have a customer that did something similar (to VSE) with a Multiprise 3000 with fairly acceptable response. Make sure that you have the latest DB2 for VM service on (especially any DRDA performance fixes). Using hipersockets between partitions is also extremely important (but if you have IBM involved, I would guess that they would have told you this already). Denis Morissette wrote: Hello all My company, Groupe Promutuel, is trying to implement a new application on Linux SLES 8. We are using WebSphere 5.1 in an Lpar with 2 IFL on a z800. The application needs to access a DB2/VM database (7.3) in a legacy partition on the same z800 through a DB2connect Linux server. The application is very simple but each SQL query returns around 30 rows each time. Despite that it is very simple, each transaction requires around 50 Mips overall, with 12 Mips on the legacy side (DB2 access). Also the response time of a query from the Java application is at least 5 times higher than a similar query from a Cobol-CMS application on the legacy side. We can see that DB2 and TCPIP are talking intensively to each other and that should explain part of the problem but not all. We have been working with IBM specialists for two months now to try to find the source of the problems with no success except a 30% improvement since the beginning. At this level of Mips utilization, it will not be possible to have the application in production without migrating to a z900 at a very high cost, at least for us.

Re: Adding extended memory to z/VM
That would be 30% of VM's memory being used for expanded. I think that's a little higher than the suggested amount, but if VM isn't paging that's fine. Don't give Linux any more memory than it absoltely needs. If Linux is swapping alot during normal processing then it needs more, if it doesn't swap at all you may be able to reduce it's memory. See the free command for the cache amount. That is typically memory that can be reduced (to a certain point).

Re: CPINT Question
When the dasd= parameter was added, did you run zipl?

I can then mount dasdg and work with it. Now, in SLES9 with the same zipl.conf information, If I do the link "hcp link linux5 292 298 mr" the link is performed, but the 298 does not appear as active in /proc/dasd/devices.

This is typically lower for the web servers and higher for the backend. Because zSeries capacity is almost always a mixed workload capacity the utilization peak and utilization variation on an interval by interval basis comes into play. This is because you have to configure each blade for its peak, but you configure zSeries for the composite peak which is almost always less or can be managed to be much less than the sum of the peaks. Because some workloads tend to saturate blades at lower utilization than zSeries the composite utilization peak is usually quite low.

Re: Document management software
There was a thread about this topic on this very list that started Monday. Check the archive for "CMS for Documentation" and "Document Management Software". Tom Duerbusch wrote: Well, one of the managers is looking into a document management solution for mainframe reports. This includes long term retension. Currently, and for the last 30 or so years, the reports were put on tape, and sent out to be microfiched. Now, they are looking for other solutions. 1. The first thing I bought up was archival and retrieval of mainframe reports isn't the same thing as document management. These are not scanned documents. These are not forms. These are mainframe printed reports. 2. Some of the big solutions (some neat stuff from Xerox), well... are costly and tremendous overkill in their functions and capacity. It's their money, but I hate spending $xxx,xxx on something that can be done for a quarter of that. 3. Since this solution is only for mainframe reports, later on, I could see the need for a full blown document management solution. So the mainframe report solution may end up being discarded. So I started thinking that there might be a Linux type solution that can be used for a few years. We can get a handle on what is needed, volume, accesses, storage, etc, that may end up being replaced by full packaged solution later on. Coming from a VSE shop, where we are scrappy. I don't see the need of spending large amounts of money for a solution, until there is a need for a large solution. When I need terabytes of documents stored, then I think I may need an external solution. But at this time, we are thinking more in the 20-30 GB a year. Perhaps, with the z/890, we might fiber attached a CD or DVD jukebox for long term, historical archives. So, anyone know of a software application (Linux, VM or VSE platform) that will do this, including chargable vender software? Or is this something that no one would ever want to use on a mainframe?
