There is a great misunderstanding of how Unix shell profiles work. I have seen similar problems several times. (Of course, I've never shot my own foot. No way!) $HOME/.profile is sourced, which means it runs within the same process space. Otherwise, it could have no effect on the environment. (A child process in Unix cannot change the environment variables of its parent.) That's not exactly what happened with the 'trap', but related. When the graphical desktops hit, a lot of the profiling elegance was forgotten, so the lack of education is made worse. With care, you can get the vendor profile, a local profile, and the user profile all cleanly applied ... reliably, for any shell, with any login (graphical or textual).

Porting old application- numeric keypad
We have been porting some curses-based text-terminal applications from HP-UX that make heavy use of PFkeys and the numeric keypad, and the usual terminal emulation and TERM settings from HPUX don't work on SLES10. I think they have gotten over the hurdle of recoding PF keys since not same as had been for AIX or HPUX. But they are still having issues with getting the numeric keypad on right side of physical keyboard to work. And backspace key still not working. They are using TERM=VT420F Does anyone know of a way to get numeric keypad on keyboard to work with SLES? Apparently it is critical to customers using this application.

Thanks.

The latest release of Regina is 3.5. As it happens, I built Regina and THE for NORD Linux. These are ready-to-run, not in RPM nor Deb format. They are package hierarchies on CD and they should fly on *any* distro immediately as-is. You can, of course, copy the content from the CD to your own disk. Or you can mount the CD image and point to it. You can even put these packages into a common storage place ... shared disk, NFS, SAMBA, perhaps even SAN. Find the CD at http://www.casita.net/pub/nord/CD1-s390.iso.gz (It actually contains both i386 and s390 builds. Sorry ... that makes it twice as big.) The hardest thing you have to do to use this directly is create a /usr/opt directory for relocation sym-linkery. Oh ... and you have to sym-link libregina.so in a place where the dynamic loader will find it. Small beans. The recipe is ... mkdir -m 1777 -p /usr/opt # which can itself be sym-linked to /var ln -s /where/you/mounted/regina-3.3/s390 /usr/opt/regina-3.4 ln -s regina.3.4 /usr/opt/regina ln -s /where/you/mounted/the-3.2/s390 /usr/opt/the-3.2 ln -s the-3.2 /usr/opt/the ln -s /usr/opt/regina/lib/libregina.so /usr/local/lib/. Unfortunately, as you can see, this THE and Regina are each one release back, 3.2 and 3.4 respectively. Not sure how I missed updating them.

And VM would bring to the unix world the ability to manage terabyte DASD farms, multiple instantiation of of the os [you can test entire network configurations in one box! ; you can test a new kernel in one VM while your production environment slaves away in *safe* ignorant bliss; a safe learning environment(each sysadmin wannabe in your CS390 class gets a linux he can trash 'til his heart's content, and still has no excuse not to get his history paper in), and assuming the appropriate drivers are written all the needed access (by internal communication, not execution) to the old (still running) VM and old and new OS/390 apps.

Subject: Velocity expertise needed...
I have recently taken a job working in the Performance and Capacity Mgmt
area of the company, but used to do z/Linux support (and AIX support).
Our setup is odd, they moved z/Linux support to reporting to the AIX
area about two years ago. I hadn't had much time prior to that to
really learn the guts of Velocity. Now that I've moved areas, I'm
hoping I can get some help on where else to look in Velocity to find
some indicators of what might be the problem with a particular
applications on z/Linux. Some background...there is 1 production guest
(wasp50) running all our internal WebSphere applications (3 appb servers
on the guest and 5G memory). The test workload is split between 2
z/Linux guests with 2 app servers on each.
What is happening is that our Claims area is running a batch process
through z/Linux twice a day and as you can see from the numbers below,
it really cranks the system. So far, I can dig to the point that it's a
java process that's using up most the time, but are there other screens
in particular that can help me point the developers in the right
direction as to what they can do to make this process run better
(although the good news is it won't run during our prime shift once it's
in production)? I have access to the browser based screens for
Velocity, but could also talk to the zVM admin to have him look at stuff
through the mainframe screens. At this point, the AIX area is pushing
to move everything off of z/Linux and to AIX because it will 'run
better' there and they've done a good job of convincing management. Any
thoughts would be appreciated.

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

There is far too much node-dependent code to introduce additional node names for DR. If the code all belonged to the systems area, we might be able to manage it, but some of it is application code. E.g. Select When Wordpos(node,'NODE1 NODE2 NODEA NODEC') 0 Then Do ... When node = 'NODE4' Then Do ... etc There are valid reasons for this type of code. Differences in the tape or DR environments, for example. These are hardware decisions over which we have no control. I can just imagine the havoc changing node names would have caused when we had OfficeVision. In the interest of making the DR environment look as much like production as possible for our users, we chose to keep the DR node names the same. That decision was made many years ago, and processes developed around it. Changing it now is off the table. Even if we just starting to design DR, I don't know if I'd go for changing node names. I know this is the Linux list. In a pure guest environment, this might be less of an issue. Some of our nodes have a CMS workload, where the VM node name definitely matters.

SLES10 - how to set ulimit
I am building virtual servers to run Websphere MQ broker. I had to set various kernel parameters (including setting fs.file-max = 32768) I am confused by some of the doc I received from the MQ folks- see below: * Set ulimit to 4096. When dealing with large numbers of open sockets (a single socket per concurrent connection) the operating system may limit the number of files that a single process can open at one time.

Re: Basic question
I actually still use THE editor on SLES10 (The Hessling Editor). I've
never tried X2.
I'm still upset that Mansfield software won't be supporting KEDIT for
Windows any more.
I will check out X2.
In this case I used VISUDO just because the customer insisted they still
did not have sudo.
In the end he was just having a bad day and forgot to type 'sudo' before
the command.
The sudoers file was actually okay.

BTW, If you'd like to use an editor other than vi, the visudo man page
describes the editor and env_editor variables. (My preferred editor is
the
X2 Programmer's Editor by Blair W. Thompson
http://www.tangbu.com/x2main.shtml)
From the visudo man page:
editor
A colon (':') separated list of editors allowed to be used with visudo.
visudo will choose the editor that matches the user's EDITOR environment
variable if possible, or the first editor in the list that exists and is
executable. The default is the path to vi on your system.
env_editor
If set, visudo will use the value of the EDITOR or VISUAL environment
variables before falling back on the default editor list. Note that
this may create a security hole as it allows the user to run any
arbitrary command as root without logging. A safer alternative is to
place a colon-separated list of editors in the editor variable. visudo
will then only use the EDI TOR or VISUAL if they match a value specified
in editor. This flag is on by default.

Re: How to increase swap V-disk sizes
I am going to bump it's storage back up before I go home. Interestingly enough - although I see swap being used on other servers I do not see it used on the servers running this particular application. But I was using vmstat while the customer created the problem and I swear I saw swapping. I'll try again tomorrow. At least the problem is easily created. The problem occurs when a customer tries to convert a large report over on the zOS side to an EXCEL spreadsheet which gets saved on their PC. The vendor product runs on zOS and the thin client is running on linux. Smaller reports can be converted to EXCEL successfully and saved to the PC. When successful they receive a Windows prompt to save the file to disk or open it. The good news is with SLES10 and tomcat5 the customer whose download fails no longer hangs up tomcat. Thank you for your help. This is driving me crazy.

The network manager has not really given us enough information.

He also said the mainframe folks should 'just use hostnames' and 'not code any IP addresses'. I don't think he has a clue what is in PROFILE TCPIP or TCPIP DATA.

Re: Surprise, Microsoft Listed as Most Secure OS
Apparently they don't even consider SuSE linux widely used. Historically SuSE linux has made more of an effort with Security than RedHat (at least as far as EAL certification). I'd just like to mention that our Security dept uses a few products to check out server security. They actually called us when we first started putting up SLES10 servers. When I asked why- it had the best security rating of any server at the company. Of course we weren't running any apps on the servers yet. But we are now and they are still very pleased with our rating. The tools they use are not perfect (for example they seem to be able to check software package levels under linux but aren't detailed to the point of telling if patches are applied)- but we were glad SLES10 looked better than most servers here. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chase, John Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 2:10 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Surprise, Microsoft Listed as Most Secure OS -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port On Behalf Of Schneck.Glenn Wonder where z/Linux, z/VM and z/OS ranked.

Re: Anyone using Veritas Netbackup client 5.1 mp3 on SuSE 9?
We are running the Netbackup client on SLES8 and SLES9 servers on the mainframe and also with our 1 intel SLES10 PC. I don't remember if it's 5.1 mp2 or mp3. Since Symantec(was Veritas) only provides a generic tar file I can't really tell. We complained about needing an rpm file. We converted from using TSM client. TSM ran on zOS. With TSM we could do client initiated backups and check out all versions and select the file we wanted restored. In the netbackup setup here, the clients cannot initiate restores. We did add a directory called /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bkbpar so that we can at least check if backups are completed successfully. Log files get written to this directory.

Re: FCP over ECKD performance advantage - why?
Since we are currently trying to get multipathing working with FCP and SLES9 (SLES8 was easier but different) it does make us well aware of how we take it for granted when we use good old easy ECKD (not that ours is very old- ECKD is still always improving). I would add to the list of ECKD benefits- simpler admin and simpler,more automated DR. On the other hand, SAN/FCP dasd is bought in bulk and has cheaper chargeback. ECKD is viewed as expensive. We've seemed to come up with arbitrary standards - like if you need more than 25GIG- you get SAN, or keep software product filesystems on ECKD for easy cloning, etc. Basically the ECKD dasd we have is much more limited (and more expensive) and SAN seems unlimited. So for all larger dasd requests you end up giving the customer SAN lun's. Then you get the questions 'Since the dasd is the same as a SUN Solaris server the I/O performance must be the same, right?' Or 'How does linux on the mainframe I/O performance compare to linux on intel? It's the same dasd. Must be the same, right?' Are there published benchmarks for (1) mainframe linux ECKD vs. FCP or (2) mainframe linux FCP vs. intel linux FCP? What are the sources you refer to? -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pieter Harder Sent: Sunday, September 10, 2006 1:55 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: FCP over ECKD performance advantage - why? Hello list, there are a number of sources that indicate that FCP attached DASD performs better than classic ECKD DASD. My own numbers seem to confirm this. But I am wondering what exactly is the advantage that FCP has over ECKD? I can't be the physical storage box, that is the same for most people, something like a DS8000/DS6000 or a Symmetrix. I can also hardly believe it is the software layer within the storage box, as both FCP and ECKD are emulated/simulated on top of a native storage structure. It could be that the software/hardware interface provided by QDIO is so much better than the old Start-I/O model. But is it? Is it not just a matter of FCP not spending the cycles to provide stuff that ECKD users take for granted, like: - multipathing - performance instrumentation - device isolation for security reasons - error handling - and more Is it possible that when all the above is added to FCP there is no performance advantage at all? I am sure there are knowledgeable people on the list who have something to comment on this. Thanks for any insights.

When RHEL3 first came out it was priced by CP or IFL, just as it is now. However, they placed a limit of 25(?) systems per CP/IFL for a given license. That was later dropped. So, as many guests as you can squeeze onto any given processor are all covered by one license charge. All, please read the article at zJournal. One of the reasons why Red Hat _appears_ to be so much more expensive is that support is bundled into the license fee, whereas with Novell, that is a separate charge. Part of the reason why Red Hat lags a little today is due largely to the timing of their release cycles, and partly because they refused to incorporate any of the mainframe-specific patches unless they were in the official source tree that Linus maintains. While SUSE has been a little more flexible about that, my sources tell me that they're starting to lean towards the same approach Red Hat has taken. With the IBM developers being _very_ successful in getting their changes integrated into the official 2.6 source tree, I believe that the future will see any differences in functionality being purely a result of release cycle timing.

Re: SLES vs RHEL
I did read the article but was confused by some of the parts about support. Can you now buy the RedHat linux from IBM for zseries or is it available from IBM just for other IBM platforms? I'm not up on the platforms IBM actually sells RedHat for. In any case, the few real problems we've had with SuSE linux have involved IBM hardware and the IBM support center worked out well for us. But perhaps the support from RedHat is good as well. In either case you have 2 vendors involved. And I admit it- I skimmed over the parts of the article that referred to those other platforms.

Re: What configurations are people using for Disaster Recovery for Linux under z/VM
For what it is worth- We used to use a vendor's DR site. We used their VM system just to bring up our mini VM system where we did all dasd volume restores. Once dasd was restored we then IPL'ed our real VM systems (so they were frst level just like normal production in our home data center). We came up with this method because we had had problems in the past with the vendor's VM systems being back level from ours and then we had VSE systems and later linux guests that we did not want to run third level. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Melin Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 9:52 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: What configurations are people using for Disaster Recovery for Linux under z/VM I am going to address everyone's responses (thank you all) in this e-mail rather than reply multiple times: David Kreuter wrote: I would first look at any waiting, queueing, etc from the 1st and 2nd level system. I am willing to speculate without seeing data that your world of hurt is due the configuration of zvm under zvm. For a linux machine to get a dispatch it is going through two levels of CP. Years ago this caused extreme pain. David That was the first thing we looked at using the recovery system's perfkit (which I'm told the vendor allowed us to use on a ONE time basis - we wont have this) and our own perfkit. We saw lots of SIE, but no queueing or waiting. The Top level VM had the CP's dedicated so from it's perspective they were always 100% busy cuz it was 'spinnig' waiting for work. We also saw that there was lots of activity in moving things below the 2 GB line and back. But was that abnormal? Can't say. - Alan Altmark wrote: I would suggest devising a scenario wherein the guests of the failed z/VM system are recovered as first-level guests on the recovery system. Once the DR vendor turns the crank on the hardware to a later generation box, basic mode is gone and the SIE hardware assist for the (now) 3rd level guests is not available. I had this discussion yesterday. Our head systems programmer wants to pursue the problem from the configuration that we have in place (broken) and let support services determine why Java performance is slow in the Linux under z/VM under z/VM environment. I tried to make the case, using the State of Minnesota as an example - They don't run their recovered VM under the DR vendor VM. The people who make the ultimate decision on how we will recover don't seem to think that it matters how the State does it, or that nobody else seems to do it the way we do it either. I think they are of the opinion that to pursue multiple different scenarios will make things confusing. I think it would reveal things to look at REGARDLESS of what happens. Performance improves? It's a VM under VM thing. Performance does NOT improve, it's a base configuration problem on the recovery system that is the doing of the DR vendor. Marcy Cortes wrote: We recover the VM system to an LPAR, not under VM. Because VM senses all the i/o, the only changes we need to make for addressing differences is to DFSMS RMS VMTAPE for tape drive numbers and to TCPIP for OSA differences (we have alternate tcpip profile which goes into effect based on node name change based on cpuid so that's pretty automatic). I take that back a little bit - we do recover VM system volumes under a VM starter system, then we IPL that restored system to an LPAR (not VM under VM). We do it inhouse though, so we aren't under any vendor constraints. Do you also run a z900 in production? Java perf is much better on z990's and even better on z9. Sadly, we're running on a z900. With the new z9 offerings, I suspect that we might be able to get one in here to replace the z900 but again that's out of my hands. If there would be no performance hit to our z/OS recovery, I'd LOVE to recover in LPAR mode - using the current VM setup in one LPAR. That way our z/OS recovery doesn't need to change (we've played into that environment quite nicely) but our VM can then come up in an LPAR with minimal tailoring. We could even do the tailoring on the guest we currently used to run it - shut it down and IPL it in the LPAR. Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

It's crazier than that. You just get a tar file and run their './install' You have to reply that you are SLES 2.4 for both SLES8 and SLES9. And you have to replay you are RedHat 2.4 to install on SuSE SLES9 on intel. My wording is probably not quite right but- In other words there are only 2 choices- one for RedHat 2.4 and one for SuSE 2.4 and I'm not sure what you really get but it does seems to function on SLES8 and SLES9.

Re: IBM java options for Weblogic under zseries linux
My questions are more basic. We don't have a performance problem. The application is not up yet. BEA's website states 8.1 SP4 is certified for SLES9. We created a 64-bit SLES9 and installed Weblogic 8.1. But then it also states you need to download the 31-bit IBM JDK from the developers site. Is this an error? I do have a case open with BEA to ask what IBM JDK to use and if Weblogic 8.1 exploits 64-bit. So far I have not received the answers. The customer application we will be testing currently runs under Solaris and has a Weblogic startup script with SUN specific options that cannot be used on zseries. I also don't know that the heap sizes on SUN would be very good on zseries. In the past IBM had recommended 'mapped_base' for other 31-bit apps in the past. I was hoping that not too many special java options are needed to run under zseries. I also hoped BEA has suggestions for heap sizes- they may, I just haven't found them yet. We had a POC with another product a couple years back and the customers were never satisfied with the IBM java options. But that was java 1.3.1 and a less highly used vendor product. Since I know other companies are running Weblogic I was hoping for some pointers. We also may end up contacting the IBM java experts if it comes to that. I did ask the customer area to add verbose:gc to the startup script. When the customer tried to startup Weblogic using the same min and max heap sizes as on SUN they get: Compilation of '/tech/webmstr/apps/agency/./config/PL/agency_01/.wlnotdelete/extract/ag ency_01_agency_agencyWEB/jsp_servlet/_auto/_specialty/__vehiclequote.jav a' failed: (Failed to parse compiler output.
