Cloning SLES10 SP2

2008-09-23 Thread Hilliard, Chris
Curious to know if anyone has experienced issues cloning sles10 SP2 using the clone.sh script as described in "The Virtualization Cookbook for SLES 10 SP2". The script works perfectly the first time I invoke it. However, if I immediately invoke it again to clone another virtual server, the script

Publicly Accessible minidisks

2008-05-27 Thread Hilliard, Chris
Hello List, I'm wrapping up the install of DFSMS/VM...yikes...not the most intuitive install I've ever done. Anyway, one of the installation steps calls for making the DFSMS 1B5 minidisk publicly accessible. How do you do this short of including a link for it in each user directory entry? Is

Hello List, I'm reviewing the installation requirements for the DFSMS/VM feature. I notice that it requires the VMSYS file pool. When I installed VM many months ago, I selected to install to minidisks instead of SFS. As a result, the SFS subsystem is not active or configured. My questi

I ran into this problem as well. I went back and re-installed my master image. When I got to the partitioning step, I changed the FSTAB options for dev/dasdx to use "device-name" instead of "device-id". I'm not sure what one selection has over the other but it sure makes cloning a lot easier. -

VM Software Licensing

Let me apologize in advance for asking so many questions related to VM software licensing. I don't get a clear picture sometimes of what is a non-chargeable feature and what is. I'm preparing to install the non-chargeable DFSMS/VM feature. However, the install instructions list ISPF and the C ru

Happy VD... I've been researching the use of the DFSMS/VM feature, mainly for tape library support. I'm having difficulty determining if it's already installed on my system or if it's a separately licensed feature that I have to order. I'm currently running z/VM 5.3. Thanks...Chris

z/VM Installation from DVD

Question on Dirmaint: When I run a DIRMAP command to see my minidisk layout, it shows 3 volumes that seem to be orphaned: the Ownerid, Addr, SysAffin fields are blank and the gap size is the entire volume. I recognize these three volumes as the result of a typo somewhere in my user directory

I need a short lesson on backing up DASD volumes using DDR. I've added four 3390 volumes to my z/VM configuration and have formatted numerous mini disks on them. I would like to get a full backup of these 4 volumes using DDR. However, when I run DDR, and supply the input address of these volu

We are running z/Linux on our z800 and connecting to a 2105-800 (Shark) over a SAN. I would imagine it to be setup the same way on a z9 connecting to a DS4800. I can share our experiences and configuration if that will help. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto

I'm currently installing z/VM 5.3. I have two other LPARs on this box running z/OS 1.4 and z/OS 1.7. Can I maintain (either temporarily or permanently) my hardware/software configuration for the z/VM LPAR using HCD under z/OS? I have a huge learning curve ahead of me and not having to learn z/VM

When running the INSTPLAN (first-level install), what is the difference between installing a product into the VMSYS filepool or to a mini disk? The guide doesn't really explain what this is or offer any recommendations. When should I choose one over the other? I left the default of M for minidisk
