Alan, Thanks for your response. I guess this Common Criteria option won't do me much good. Just one more question: You said v5.2 won't be evaluated for Common Criteria certification? Do you know why? Is it maybe a cost issue, where its too expensive to do it every release, possibly

VM/TCPIP - TESTSITE question

2006-07-13 Thread william JANULIN
To list: I recently created a HOSTS LOCAL file and did a MAKESITE for a few DNS names. Seems to work fine with one exception. When I do the TESTSITE command, it looks like one of the DNS names gets truncated. Following is the o/p from the command: us-wat-as01.internal.jltservices.com

Brian, you raise an interesting question about tuning MDC on a per user basis vs. a system basis vs. a combination. A single solve all algorithm would be cool, but beyond my imagination to make it perfect. I believe there was a lot of research originally about While MDC is a write-through cache,

I should also mention that if you are on z/VM 5.1.0 or later you should consider using ETC HOSTS rather than HOSTS LOCAL (it's documented in the same chapter). The hostname limit in ETC HOSTS is 128 characters. Regards, Miguel Delapaz z/VM TCP/IP Development - Forwarded by Miguel

Brian, To the best of my knowledge, you're stuck with the structure you described in your note. The syntax of label definitions and references requires it. If you're concerned about the number of lines added to your pipeline with each selection stage, note that since the pipeline description

That's what I thought. Thanks. It's to bad there's no way to re-use a label on different filter stages which only have one input stream, list multiple label references at the start of a pipe, or designate which input/output streams a label connects to. Any of them would get rid of the

No, you cannot. But, if it is an OSA, you can define multiple device numbers on a single OSA. Then you pass a series of device numbers to the first level TCP/IP, and another set to the guest VM system. If your IOCP does not have spare device numbers for the OSA, you can always define a

For dasd cache, all writes are hits unless there is a non-volatile storage full (error) condition. If you have dedicated dasd addresses for linux guests, the dasd cache report (ESADSD5) shows percent of I/O that is read vs write, and the percent of each that are hits. The seek reports show by
