Where did you get the documentation on doing an upgrade from
sles 8 to sles 9? TIA!
There's a docu directory in CD1 (SLES-9-s390-RC5a-CD1.iso). I
didn't look to see if the doc addresses upgrading, but it was an
option during the install process. I'd poke around on CD1 first...

Looks like the kernel has some definite problems. If this is as

LKML.

The answer is to do what the Linux distributions do. Use the kernel SRPM to
create a kernel RPM, and then transport that to wherever you need, and do an
rpm -i command to install it. Look at the .spec file for your
distribution's kernel SRPM to see how they do it.

Hi all...
Adding new dasd (dasdam) to a running SLES8 system, when it comes to
running the dasdfmt, we get an error of:
All data of that device will be lost.

nothing running. I was told by our Linux guy to give it lots of memory, so

Setting the
kernel.hz_timer = 0
in the /etc/sysctl
will probably help at least some but your probably going to have to do a
detailed memory analysis to see how much memory is REALLY needed with DB2
in their 1GB might be the real number but my gut feel is thats WAY too
large..
What is the major and minor number of /dev/dasdam?
ls -l /dev/dasda?

You'd want to change the initdefault setting from 5 to 3 (like RedHat, SuSE
uses 2 for multi-abuser w/ no network and 3 for multi-abuser with
networking).
One wonders how an initdefault of 5 got set w/o a framebuffer. Ouch.
There are also some other tunables to allow you to manage the disk
We are now messing with VM Page Space.
I too have see major slowness with my SLES 8 Guest. Our VM guy has increased

Update on the SuSE SLES 8 performance Issue:
KDE was just turned on to configure the various components(DB2, etc), we
are using runlevel 3. I have since turned KDE off, I have reduced the
Virtual memory on the Linux guest machine to 384MB, and set timer ticks to
0. I shutdown Linux, logged off
There are some very helpful tips for running Linux guest on VM available
