Re: dasdfmt problem when building a new Red Hat guest
Mike, That is essentially what we did here. We have a rexx exec that finds unused disk volumes in the VM world, formats them, builds a new VM directory entry in Dirmaint and then xautologs the system. The system built consists of a base set of disk volumes that are a "gold" image and adds a variable bunch of extra volumes for guest-specific user files. When the new guest is logged on, the variable dasd is formatted with dasdfmt with the -k option to keep the volumes with the same volser. We found the same thing here...format once with the -l option works fine, format the second time with -k and also works. BUT, format the first time with -k and it fails.

Re: dasdfmt problem when building a new Red Hat guest
Alan, The problem with that is that if you don't have the volume with a specific VOLSER, you can't build the z/VM directory entry and log on the machine to format the DASD with a proper VOLSER.

dasdfmt problem when building a new Red Hat guest
We are going a little bit crazy trying to figure out a process to initialize PAV capable volumes for our zLinux guests. Because we assign disk packs to only one guest we are using the full-pack minidisk method of enabling HyperPAV (per page 469 in “The Virtualization Cookbook for IBM z/VM 6.3, RHEL 6.4, and SLES 11 SP3”). The problem that we’re having is how to hand off the task of initializing the disk volumes for zLinux with as little chance for error as possible. I don’t want to have our Linux/Unix admins to have to retype the volsers that we’ve already assigned to the disks. The chances of a finger check are too great and any errors are a significant problem since we depend (as does zVM) on volsers being unique across the system. When we create the guest we format and label the volumes using ICKDSF. According to the Cookbook one of the first steps in making the disk available to zLinux is to run a dasdfmt command against the disk. According to “Device Drivers, Features, and Commands on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7”, dasdfmt has an option –k -k or --keep_volser keeps the volume serial number when writing the volume label (see VOLSER). Keeping the volume serial number is useful, for example, if the volume serial number was written with a z/VM tool and should not be overwritten. However, whenever we try to run dasdfmt with that option we get the following error [root@dcvml29 ~]# dasdfmt -b 4096 -y -v -k -f /dev/dasdf dasdfmt: VOLSER not found on device /dev/dasdf I’ve tried various kinds of formats CPVOL FMT MODE(ESA) UNIT(7625) VFY(0X0400) VOLID(VH2905) - RANGE(0,10016) INIT UNIT(7625) VFY(VH2905) VOLID(VH2905) - CYLRANGE(0,10016) - PURGE NOVALIDATE VTOC(000,01,14) INDEX(015,00,15) And using CPFMTXA but nothing I do writes a VOLSER that RedHat will find on the volume. The Cookbook implies (around that same page) but doesn’t come out directly to say that –k doesn’t work as designed. Do you know of any way that we can format a DASD volume on zVM and have the VOLSER be acceptable to zLinux? Any insights are most appreciated.

DB2 Performance Questions
We are conducting a proof of concept for one of our divisions. This includes DB/2 9.7 and Suse 10 SP 3 with CKD dasd. The first opportunity is the defines of tablespaces. In our x86 environment, this runs in less that 3-4 minutes (yes, there are a lot of tables). In our z/Linux guest that same set of defined runs in about 3-4 HOURS!. The only thing we have seen as far as activity is a very large number of disk I/O's to dasd. The tables define approx. 800-900 GB. What we think we are seeing is that the table spaces are being formatted. We have tried the "no file system caching" option on the define, but is flagged as an invalid option. IBM is saying that this is the default, but after the tables are defined and we look at the tables, we see that the option is turned on. If we then try to turn it off, it is again flagged as an invalid option. Are there any other options that we can use?

What Mark said. To try and boost your comfort level, know that many of us regularly load both versions of many libraries.

I find this to be true for both PC and "z". What a 32-bit program cannot do is load a 64-bit shared library.

Hmm, that number is retrieved by this code snipped:
rc = stsi(info, 1, 2, 2);
if (rc == -ENOSYS)
goto out;
rc = 0;
*capability = info->capability;
struct sysinfo_1_2_2 {

It always reports the primary capability. We'll investigate.

Re: BMC BladeLogic [PUBLIC]
This is the information I have so far: BL Server - no way, no how for Z BL Client - The 7.5 client works for SLES up to 10 SP 2 (verified) and reportedly SLES 10 SP3 works as well. The Agent WILL NOT WORK for SLES 11 (any flavor). We are waiting for word from BMC as to what release will support SLES 11. As of the announced release 8.0, it will not be supported. For RH, the news is even worse. The latest version of RH that is supported is RHEL 4.0.

Re: Dynamicallhy Changing Linux Guest Network
Mark, As I said in one of my earlier posts, I have been using Rexx for a lot of testing. I have implemented a script similar to what Nick has. In my case we have a provisioning job that, when run, places the configuration file that it used to create the guest on the 191 disk. My Rexx script runs in /etc/init.d/boot early enough in the process to change the network parameters and other configuration parameters during the initial startup. I can clean it up a bit if you are interested in that also.

Call LogCmd 'Unable to enable 191 disk. RC from chccwdev =' RC

Call LogCmd "Adisk is:" Adisk

Here are a couple of other options for reading a file:
/* Read a standard linux file */
'cat /etc/HOSTNAME | rxqueue'
Parse UPPER Pull rec
Another one:
GetDefaultConfig:/* Read the default config file from the 191 disk */
TargetParm = 'DEFAULT.CONFIG'
'cmsfslst -d' Adisk '| grep DEFAULT | grep CONFIG > /dev/null'
If RC <> 0 Then Do
Call LogCmd TargetParm "not found on 191 minidisk. Ignoring"

'cmsfscat -a -d' Adisk TargetParm 'grep ^.| cut -f2 -d. | rxqueue'

Waiting for the udev event queue to run empty is a safer way to wait for
the device to become online and available to Linux.
Depending on the version of your Linux you may use:
'udevadm settle'
or
'udevsettle'

Not sure, but this looks like an endless loop with busy waiting,
possibly eating unnecessary CPU cycles.
Chccwdev already loops (CPU friendly) to see if the device comes online
within some timeout and finally reports the outcome with an exit
errorlevel, that you may evaluate above to decide on continuation.
> 'chccwdev -d 191'
Here you could do "udevadm settle" again just to be sure that no events
caused by setting the device offline are pending when your script exits.

It had become a bit of a dumping ground for software that people thought might be useful to our customers, but that wasn't going to be supported. Beginning with SLE11, there is an "extras" channel for non-SDK software that won't be supported either, but right now there's not much in it. I don't know what selection criteria will be used for that channel. I don't believe Regina is there at the moment. Since neither the SDK nor the extras channel will contain supported software, you might as well just build Regina from source. I'll ask around internally to see if I can find out what sorts of things will wind up in extras.

MIDAWs support and SLES9 & SLES10 under z/VM 5.3
I am sending this for a friend who seems to be having difficulty posting it himself. We are looking at activating MIDAWs support on one of our disk subsystems. The disk subsystem is split between z/OS and z/VM (5.3 RSU 0802). I see that z/VM support MIDAWs for guest operating systems. My question is does SLES9 or SLES10 have any support in it for MIDAW.

start

echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1

Esac
This is failing because the environment variables are not set up correctly
(-1390 reason 3 return code). Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I have found a way to initiate this with:
sudo -u udbdb1 -i /etc/init.d/db2 start
The problem with this is that I cannot find a way to implement this in the
/etc/sudoers file so a non-privileged user can run the command.
Any suggestions on how to make either of these methods work will be greatly

We have installed a SLES 10 SP 2 with a layer=2 vswitch. One thing that I noticed, but did not spend a great deal of time researching, is that once any version of SLES is IPL'd, there are certain remnants in the system that prevent it from IPL'ing clean a second time.

Why are you being asked to change a virtual device address? If someone came up with a new standard that says "all guest's NIC should be at virtual address 1234" then that's probably a good thing. If it's for some other reason, then perhaps not.

Is it perhaps expecting colons between the bytes? Does it want you to specify all six bytes, even though the first three are defined by CP?

The whys are pretty straightforward. 1. If your root file system fills up (runs out of space) your system dies. 2. Up until recently, resizing your root file system required application downtime. 3. Having everything in your root file system prevents potential sharing of file systems across guests. The hows are also pretty straightforward. 1. During the installation process, use the various "expert" modes to set it up. (It really doesn't require an expert.) 2. After installation, look at http://linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/movefs.html It's far easier to do it during installation. It's also far easier to do it during installation via AutoYaST or kickstart.

How to manage filesystems (was: RE: SLES 10 SP2)
Please keep in mind that this question is coming from someone relatively ignorant of z/Linux and it's care and feeding. I there some cookbook or other FM that would help me to understand the how's and why's of splitting up the filesystems onto various volume groups and mountpoints?

If you've already broken out your other file systems, as Pieter talked about, then something is wrong. My root file systems are typically 300-400MB in size, and are less than 50% full. # df -h FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/dasda1 388M 97M 271M 27% / /dev/mapper/vg1-home 97M 4.2M 88M 5% /home /dev/mapper/vg1-opt74M 7.7M 63M 12% /opt /dev/mapper/vg1-tmp 291M 17M 260M 6% /tmp /dev/mapper/vg1-usr 642M 492M 118M 81% /usr /dev/mapper/vg1-var 295M 90M 190M 33% /var Now, that is an extremely stripped down installation (only 260 RPMs), so don't take the various file system sizes as guidelines of any kind. But, what gets dumped into / doesn't change much with additional packages being installed.

Re: Disabled Wait State Code
Note to all: This wait code can also be from specifying too little storage (in my case 16M). ;) After changing it to 512m, the IPL proceeds *MUCH* more smoothly. Thanks to all.

Make sure you check the md5 checksum on your workstation (or where ever you downloaded the files to) if you haven't done so already.

Re: Disabled Wait State Code
Thanks for the response. I will upload and re-create the 150 disk again. Perhaps I missed something.

The error message after that seems to indicate it can't find the kernel to continue. Make sure you were able to download the complete files. Non-compliant web browsers such as IE have caused a number of people problems in the past. When you uploaded the .vmarc files to z/VM, what were the file attributes? RECFM, LRECL, number of blocks, etc.?

Disabled Wait State Code
I am attempting to being up a z/Linux SUSE SLES 10 SP1 starter system for the first time. I am receiving: Booting default (ipl)... HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 000A 0102 Can anyone tell me what this code means or which FM to look at?
