Re: How to implement samba LFS ? - PJBR
If you are moving data from Linux to Windows, then as Mark Post suggested, you will need the lfs option on the mount command or lfs placed in the fstab. I don't know about cifs. The Linux we do this same exact thing (linux to windoz) on is an older release of Linux and still supports smbfs file type and we have to use lfs. Fedora Core 6 no longer supports smbfs (file type) and you must use cifs. FedCore 5 seems to support it. i.e. a friend of mine says it(smbfs) still works on his version. I get invalid filetype on the FedCore 5 I run. My friend is a bit of a hacker so he most likely figured a way around it.

Well, according to this article Design methods for attaining IBM System z9 processor cycle-time goals (http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/rd/511/mayer.html), the cycle time of the new z9 processor chip is 1.7 GHz. So, based on these numbers alone, a 2GHz.

One was with hiper-sockets for apps that were running on VM and the other an OSA card for Java apps. running on WAS servers, etc. Each access point has a unique IP address. i.e. the OSA has it's own ip addr and the hipersocket (hsi0) has its own unique ip addr. We then used which ever ip addr depending on how we needed to access the UDB. Hope that helps. Steve G.

One interface is OSA Express, working fine, VIPA- and omproute-configured. Is this the z/OS system that has VIPA and OSPF, or both z/OS and Linux? z/os has VIPA and OMPROUTE, Linux has none of it. What I don't quite see at the moment: how do I *prevent* the z/os- LPAR from choosing the usual way (of being routed): is it by defining a static route for the hipersocket interface in the Profile-dataset? BSDROUTINGPARMS or BEGINROUTES or whatever? Defining a static route is one way. You need to take care to ensure that the static route is not imported into your OSPF domain and exported to the rest of the network via OMPROUTE, or you may find your z/OS system becoming a router for your Linux system... This is what I am trying to find out - if this happens or not and how to prevent it from happening. In the meantime I do have a connection (hurray!!!), so that if I ping my Linux-Partition from the z/os-partition: ping 192.168.57.134 (this is the OSA interface of the Linux partition) or ping 192.168.60.4 (this is the hipersocket interface of the Linux partition) all is well. But how can I find out - well, just what you say: that we don't get routed in some suspicios manner? Tracrte does not give me any usable hints. tracerte 192.168.57.134 (OSA intf) output: CS V1R4: Traceroute to 192.168.57.134 (192.168.57.134): 1 192.168.57.134 (192.168.57.134) 5 ms 4 ms 2 ms *** tracerte 192.168.60.4 (hipersocket intf) output: CS V1R4: Traceroute to 192.168.60.4 (192.168.60.4): 1 192.168.60.4 (192.168.60.4) 4 ms 3 ms 2 ms *** One hop, that's all. Don't worry about HWADDR, it's used on other platforms to distinguish multiple network interfaces of the same hardware type. If you choose to use static routing, you will need to create a file called route-hsi0 that contains the detail of the route you wish to create. The format will be: vipa-address of z/OS via HSI interface of z/OS This will ensure that any traffic directed to the VIPA of z/OS goes via HiperSockets. If you had zebra or quagga set up on Linux zebra? quagga? something like a linux zoo? So this kind of stuff, whatever it may be, is necessary for setting up VIPA? Because this is what I will do later, I suppose. We have kernel 2.6. to provide VIPA there, you could define the HiperSockets to OMPROUTE and to zebra/quagga and let OSPF handle the definition of appropriate routing entries. In this case, more-so than static routing above, you will need to take even more care to ensure that the HiperSockets network is not visible to the exterior network (LAN) unless it's REALLY what you want. Be aware that all of this needs to be done with involvement from the network/router people at your shop. Yes, what we did is: our network staff gave me a subnet which is not involved in any kind of routing, not known for the rest of the world, so to say, and this is what I use now. - Cheers, Vic Cross Thanks so much!

Re: configure hipersockets
In VM and I think VSE you have to use 3 cuu's for each access point (ip addr.) on an OSA. I would assume zOS is the same. The same rules apply for hipersockets. You need 3 cuu's for each access point. Access point may not be the proper term, but the end result is you use 3 cuu's for the tcpip addr. Therefore, by using that ip addr. you control what path is chosen to access the data (or whatever) where ever it's at. We set up an IFL (running VM running Linux running UDB). We used both hipersockets and OSA port to get to the data on Linux. We used the OSA for pc applications that wanted data from UDB. We used the hipersockets for applications that ran on our VM production to talk to the UDB on Linux. It worked fine, we didn't have any problems. I guess the only caveat is to make sure that the hipersockets buffer size is large enough for what you want to do. Ours were set at the default size, 8k or 16k, and we could have benefited from a larger buffer. Steve G.

Re: 31 bit DB2?
Tom, I posed this question about 3 months ago to this group and never got an answer. In fact our (IBM) sales person was supposed to check into it and they never got back to me. IBM's push is toward 64bit. I wanted to use 31 bit at the time because my first attempt with 64bit linux(about a year ago) on a z box was a disaster. I don't think it (linux 64bit) was ready for prime time at that point in time. Reluctantly, I installed(about 3 months ago) the 64 bit linux and 64 bit db2 and they played well together.

Well, first of all, I am doing this on 390(31 bit) not 390x(64 bit) as my very first email stated. I've been installing both distro's (390 and 390x) lately and I got confused as to which one I was working on. So . . in the beginning . . . After some googleing, I found a tutorial on the IBM developworks website for installing the Perl interface(s). It's a free download but you have to register to do the down load. I already had Perl installed. I followed the steps in it, however, the tutorial is a little dated. BTW, I'm using Centos 4.2. I went to the Centos RPM directory on my pc and there is a perl-DBI-1.40-8.s390.rpm, which I loaded to Linux. I installed it. I don't remember exactly where I had the library problem but I ended up also installing compat-glibc-headers.etc and compat-glibc-2.3.2.etc These were also in the Centos rpm directory on my pc(which I uploaded to linux). I also had to install the DB2 Application Development Client. This is shipped with/on the DB2 cd and is an option you can select at DB2 install time or come back later and install it. Next step was to get DBD. I found the link for this on linuxvm.org. The link took me to the IBM webpage with a link to down load it and the instructions on how to install it. I downloaded it and untared. There are a couple of readme type files that I read first. I then issued the commands shown on the ibm web page. I set the DB2_HOME environment variable and then issued the command to install the DBI module. That went ok. The next step was to install the DBD::DB2 module. I issued the command shown and it did not complete cleanly. After doing some research it seems that the command shown does some checking but it also issues the perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, and make install commands. I issued the perl Makefile.PL and the make command and those completed cleanly. When I issue the make test command I get the message that it can't find a particular file. As mentioned in a previous email, I checked to be sure the file, DB2.so was in the proper directory. It was. I checked a few other things like permission's and file locations, etc., and all of those seemed ok. I can't figure out why it is giving the errors.

I got past my hurdle with the DBI install. Now I'm having a problem with DBD. I'm getting a message that indicates that the install process can't find a particular file/directory. See below. I've checked the sub-directory and it is there. It has the correct permission's, etc. I've also issued the export DB2_HOME command.

Is there a 1 to 1 correspondence in the size of the VM linux machine (user directory entry) and the amount of swap space either mdisk or v-disk? Linux usually doubles the size of the defined memory. So, for example, a Linux guest is defined with 100 meg, the swap size will usually be around 200meg Do I need to define a v-disk size of 200meg? Also, what is the latest and greatest way of setting up a v-disk? I've found different examples. Some are a few years and the technique are applicable to the technology back then.

Re: Poor performance running VM under VM in a DR exercise
We had a similar problem a long time ago. We were running our VM under their VM. They didn't define enough storage in their user directory statement. Our native iron had 4 gig total storage at the time. The vender defined use with like 64meg, 128 meg, something like that.

Weirdness looms. We just got back from a Disaster recovery exercise in which we recovered z/OS resources as well as Linux on z/Series and WebSphere. We ran, basically, under VM for everything on this exercise, including running our VM under a master VM (under which our z/OS images are also running - normally those are native LPAR) There were numerous performance problems on Linux, some of which were solved by removing a virtual coupling facility from the VM guest defined to run our VM environment and this improved things greatly however we didn't get the same performance with Was as we do natively. It is my understanding that you might take a 20% performance hit on a second level VM but we saw like a 150-200% performance hit. Our DR vendor tried to re-create one of our Linux guests on the first level VM for us to try to IPL our guest like we did back home, and that seemed to be faster - though they screwed up the network interfaces so WAS couldn't initialize properly. No LDAP calls to RACF would work, etc. IT DID seem to be more like normal. Normally we can launch 6 Linux guests at IPL and start 5 instances of WebSphere, usually comprising 2 servers per under 2 IFL's and get everything up and running in 30 minutes tops. This pegs the processors for that time but that's to be expected. We had ONE Linux guest start WebSphere 5, and doing one thing at a time, Dmgr, Node agent, server1 then server 2, it took almost 2 hours to launch. (with the virtual CF defined it had taken 3+) The differences between this machine and things back at the ranch were: we run under a 2064-103 + 2 IFL. We were running under a 2064 with 16 native and no IFL processors. The VM guests for our z/OS had 3 processors, no-dedicate (probably meaning the 16 processors were splitting the load) Whereas our VM was running under a guest with 2 processors defined with dedicate. Also, we were not running with a crypto card. I dunno if we had a math co-processor or not, or if that's folded into z/Series now. I know that on the G-5 the math assist processor was a cost feature. My question boils down to: Do you know of any reason that WebSphere would have such horrible performance under VM running under VM? Does WebSphere use the crypto card or some other math co-processor feature for getting stuff out of jar, war and era files? (they are zip readable but are they compressed?) We have two cryptographic coprocessors on our z/900 here, but none on the test machine. I could definitely feel the difference with putty. It was sluggish. Telnet worked just fine. If anyone has advice/suggestions, I'm very interested in hearing them.

I've got everything working; I'm able to ping both lpars, etc. The problem I'm having is when I shut down the Linux (running under VM running in the IFL), it gets stuck at the iptables termination. I've had this problem in the past on another linux but it was intermittent. On this linux, it happens every time. We eventually will be moving some production process to this linux and I need to resolve this issue. So . . . when a linux is shut down and it gets stuck at the iptables termination, a) what is causing it and b) how can I fix it?

iSCSI
Has anyone messed with iSCSI on Linux on the mainframe? Any comments or suggestions? The information I've found on the web seems to indicate that a) the kernel needs to be changed/updated and b) iSCSI and Linux are close but not quite ready for prime time.

Re: iSCSI
David, where did you get the .rpm and documentation, etc for iSCSI? I'm wanting to try this on RHEL 4 for s/390 (32bit).

Any comments or suggestions? The reference implementation done by Intel will build cleanly on 2.4-based systems. I haven't tried it on a 2.6 system yet. I've gotten the reference client on one system to talk to the reference server on another system, but the only external device we had that spoke iSCSI was on loan, and has long since gone back to the vendor, so I have no way to test it with an external gadget. The information I've found on the web seems to indicate that a) the kernel needs to be changed/updated You only need to build a new kernel if you plan to try to boot from an iSCSI device. Otherwise, you can load it as a module. and b) iSCSI and Linux are close but not quite ready for prime time. I wouldn't say that, but it does take a bit of configuration expertise to make it work. It's not a simple setup. I'd really like to see iSCSI succeed -- it'd make a very elegant solution to some of the device sharing problems we see in mixed z/OS and z/VM shops wrt tape drives. -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390

Re: Redhat 3 under VM
Not necessarily true. You can DEDICATE the osa addresses to the linux machine, thus bypassing VM TCPIP entirely. Devices (addrs) can only be DEDICATEd to one machine. If TCPIP has them, then you will have to detach them from TCPIP and attach them or use DEDICATE statements in the linux machine user directory. If you intended to get to the osa device via TCPIP, then I don't think you've got your linux parm file set up correctly. I never could get linux to work going through TCPIP and then out. That's why I have the osa addresses dedicated to my linux machine.

Re: LVM: RVA,ESS,performance
István, as an FYI or a caveat, I have found that running either LVM or software RAID on Linux on zVM and a z800 that response time suffers. Besides Linux haveing to do regular stuff, it also has to manage the LVM or software RAID. I've tried both (LVM and RAID) and have used various quantities of 2.2 gig (3390-3) drives and the results are pretty much the same. When I setup the same number of dasd but run them native, (no LVM or software RAID) response time does improve. On an i86 platform with a 500 mhz processor, I get basically the same results. I know this does not answer your specific question, but like I said, an FYI. As always, YMMV Steve G. Lafayette Life Ins. Co.

OT: Perl question
I know this is OT but I know there are a few Perl gurus out there. I am needing to do some simple calculations regarding time, specifically the duration of time it takes a task to complete. The task will run for short periods of times, less than an hour. Basically take the start time, the stop time, subtract the two and you get the duration. I've tried hacking out some code but can't come up with what I need. I've also googled this and don't get any good examples. So, if anyone could/would help, I'd appreciate it. You can reply to me off line if you're so inclined.

Re: TAO Linux
There are at least a couple of ways you can do the install. The two that I'll mention, I've tried. Method 1 is to create an ISO cd and either load that to a running Linux and you have to mount it as a loop back device, or put the cd in a pc cd-rom drive and make that available via NFS, FTP, etc and mount it loop back (I think) I'm not entirely sure if that last suggestion is technically correct or doable, personally, I didn't like doing it this way. The other method I used and prefered was to load the files from the cd to my pc, have an ftp server running on my pc and during the install, you are asked where the source is, i.e., NFS, FTP, hard disk. To explain further, I loaded the iso images from the tao website and burnt two cd's. These two cd's have all the stuff you need to install tao on VM. Oops, I should have prefaced this by saying this is how I did it on VM. LPAR and STANDALONE are probably different. If you have done a VM install before and look through the files on the cd's then you should recognize some of the file names and know what to do with them. If you haven't installed a distro on VM then you need to go to linuxvm.org and look through the docs, etc that are there. To get the kernel and initrm images and some of the other files needed for the first VM install, I used IBM Personal Comm. software and did a host transfer to a minidisk in VM. I know it seems overwhelming when you do it for the first time, been there, know the feeling. Hope this helps. Steve G.

The problem: the website www.taolinux.org does not explain how to install it on a S390 system. The installation instructions say to burn a BOOT ISO and boot the machine. Ummm.. how do you do that on a z800? I've seen the exact same thing with gentoo, you already need a running Linux (RedHat, Marist or SuSE) to use as a driving system to get the other Linux systems up. I am used to punching the install kernel, parm file and initrd into the virtual reader and IPLing. I dont' see these options on TAO, so how is the install accomplished? In my opinion, if a S390 is to made available, then there needs to be a clear and documented installation procedure that doesn't rely on a driving [pre-existing] Linux system.

Re: TAO Linux
No offense taken on my end. I don't think IBM will sanction running DB2 on TAO. IBM has a list somewhere (webpage) that states what the officially supported/sanctioned distros of Linux are. That's not to say that TAO won't be supported in the future. Will DB2 or other products run on TAO? Probably but you're on your own regarding support. Therefore, check with IBM. Steve G.

I do not think you should let anything other than VM itself use cyl 0. As this is where VM keeps Vol id, disk map info, etc. $ALLOC$ is what is some times called a place holder.

past the .PRM file, now another issue
Thanks one and all who offered suggestions on the .PRM file. It is working now. I am now having problems getting connected to an FTP site. I tried ftp.redhat.com and yes I realize this is an exercise in futility. I did attempt this at off hours, very late night, very early morning but no luck. I was able to connect to ftp.redhat.com from my pc at the same time I was trying it on putty. I could consistently get in at those wee hours of the morn with my pc but no luck with putty, Since I also have ftp running on vm, I've gone through the exercise of loading the .IMG files from BASE and tried to ftp to it while using putty. I get different results but am still not able to continue with the install. Below is listing of what my vm linux machine console is displaying console * doing kickstart... setting it up * reverse name lookup failed * starting to STEP_URL * transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/RedHat/base/updates.img to a fd * transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/disc1/RedHat/base/updates.img to a fd * transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/RedHat/base/product.img to a fd * transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/disc1/RedHat/base/product.img to a fd * transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/RedHat/base/netstg2.img to a fd * transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/disc1/RedHat/base/netstg2.img to a fd /console And what is displayed on the putty screen. What is happening on the console log? Did the install find updates.img and product.img but get stuck on netstg2.img? Refering to the console log, I have the SFS pool areas defined. I am worried about the case (upper/lower) if that is causing a problem. TIA Steve Gentry Lafayette Life Ins. Co.

I don't know what was wrong, but I used Brock Organ's format/suggestion and it worked the first time I tried it.

the .PRM file
I'm having to reload the starter linux system multiple times and am getting tired of having to re-enter the various information everytime I reboot. I know I can put this information in the .PRM file and infact have, but other than the root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off DASD=200-20F line, I can't get the starter linux to recognize other parameter lines. I've tried putting the params in different sequences, i.e, moving the lines around. I've tried upper and/or lower case and still I have to type all the params in. Is there a double-secret flag or param or something I'm not including? I've looked at various doc and feel I'm got the .PRM file coded right. Suggestions, related to this subject, would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve Gentry Lafayette Life Ins. Co. Pax Vobiscum

If a cp change rdr all keep nohold command got issued, the starter files don't get purged when read.

LOADER question
I have been able to IPL the install Linux and am trying to get LOADER to run. When I try to run it, it just returns me to a bash prompt. I have tried using PCOM and TERATERM. Do I need some special settings? Is LOADER looking for a specific type of terminal? Thanks, Steve Gentry Lafayette Life Ins. Co.
RH linux, qeth/qdio and such
I was able to load a more current version of the RH kernel, etc. and displays and response look much better. qeth/qdio appears to be in this kernel, IFCONFIG diplays eth0 with the data I entered, but I still can't get to the Linux guest. Admittedly, networking isn't my strong suit. I've talked to the network guys and they have helped me as much as they can. We both are confused by some of the terminology. I need define my network environ a little more and all of this is behind a firewall. We have a z800 with two osa express cards, therefore a total of 4 ports. Port 0(card 1) has 10.140.1.22 as it's ip addr Port 0(card 2) has 10.140.1.24. When we first installed the box I tried to put both of these on card 1, port 0 and port 1 respectively. I never could get it to work. Well come to find out and I may have the terminology wrong, you can't have two ip addrs with the same subnet on the same card. When I moved 10.140.1.24 to card 2, port 0, my original network started to work. Right or wrong it is working. However, if it is wrong, please tell me as I don't want to run into problems later on. To continue, I read some where that Linux should or must be installed in it's own subnet. I seem to remember this from the early days but had forgotten it. Is this still true? Thus the ip addr of 10.140.2.x Back to the linux config: I've listed below the prompts during network config when I start linux. Enter the IP address of you new Linux guest: 10.140.2.40 (No problem with this one) Enter the network address of the new Linux guest: 10.140.2.0 (I'm not 100% sure of this answer, from looking at countless examples, the 4th octet should be 0(zero).) Enter the netmask of the new Linux guest: 255.255.255.0 (No problem with this one) Enter teh broadcast address for the new Linux guest: 10.140.2.255 (Not 100% about this one either, most examples code it this way i.e., the 4th octet is 255) Enter the default gateway: 10.140.2.254 (This is where I get confused. a) should it be 255 instead of 254? If so, is the reply to the previous question wrong? or b) does it mean the default gateway for the rest of my network. In this case it would be 10.140.1.254 (but the 254/255 question still lingers). Enter your DNS server(s), seperated by colons( : ): 162.133.1.19:162.133.1.22 (This one isn't clear to me, i.e., does it want the DNS server name or the ip addr. I assume ip addr(s). It doesn't fuss about it. However, I've never entered the DNS server name(s)). Enter your DNS search domain(s) (if any), seperated by colons ( : ): vm.llic.com (I'm not sure about this one either, however it has to be one of two replies (for us) vm.llic.com or llic.com. I have tried llic.com and it doesn't seem to make a difference) I've included a new console listing below. Again, TIA Steve Gentry Lafayette Life Ins.
