Consumption of RAM causes problems with tcpip

2009-01-15 Thread Hebda Sebastian
Hello, I have 2 SUSE Linux 9 servers under z/VM 5.2 and when one of them starts to use all of its RAM (example: when copying huge files or work with java , portal), suddenly both of them stop responding by tcpip. I can see under z/VM, that servers still work, only can't do anything by tcpip.

Sorting monitor data?

Can monitor data be sorted so that it can be fed into CP3KVMXT (CP3000 summarizer)? We collect monitor data using Brian Wade's LINMON package which allows us to collect it into smaller files. We then FTP these files over to z/OS for processing by MXG. Problem is CP3KVMXT doesn't like it

I use the stubby volumes (less than a mod-3) at the end of the string for exactly this reason. You can DEDICATE the volumes as 200 and 300 in the directory, but then you can't get them attached anywhere else. I define them this way now: MDISK 0200 3390 DEVNO 461F MWV MDISK 0300 3390 DEVNO 641F

Don't put the primary and backup on the same dasd. The whole point of the backup is to have a good database in case you get a h/w failure on the primary volume. Seems that with modern DASD, one never gets a volume failure anymore. You either lose nothing or you lose the whole darn subsystem

If your storage subsystem is a DS6000 or DS8000 series it allocates in extents which are a Mod3 in size. So you waste space for any volume that is not a multiple of a Mod3. On a Shark, you can define odd sizes without wasting space. Brian Nielsen On Thu, 15 Jan 2009 08:25:40 -0800, Lionel
