Cloning RHL in an LPAR - to run on another Hardware?

Hi Mark, many thanks for taking the time to publish the howto. Basic condition for cloning is that the cloned system should run on the same hardware. But what if one wants to clone the system tun run on another hardware? (This is basically possible for MVS: we have cold standby hardware in

Re: Cloning RHL in an LPAR - to run on another Hardware?

The simple answer is that that's exactly why you want to run VM to host your penguins. If that's really not possible, then you can map devices in the lpar definitions to some degree, but not infinitely. If its just dasd addresses, you could probably do that. I don't know what else you could

Re: Cloning RHL in an LPAR - to run on another Hardware?

You do exactly the same thing as in the howto. When you change the IP address and the disk addresses you change them to the correct addresses of your cold site. You then copy the changed system to the cold site. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Mark, many thanks for taking the time to publish

[PATCH 59/59] sysctl: Remove the proc_dir_entry member for the sysctl tables.

From: Eric W. Biederman [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unquoted It isn't needed anymore, all of the users are gone, and all of the ctl_table initializers have been converted to use explicit names of the fields they are initializing. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---

[PATCH 58/59] sysctl: Reimplement the sysctl proc support

From: Eric W. Biederman [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unquoted With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and nothing needs to be done when removing a sysctl table. For a costk of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we

[PATCH 37/59] sysctl: C99 convert arch/sh64/kernel/traps.c and remove ABI breakage.

From: Eric W. Biederman [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unquoted While doing the C99 conversion I notices that the top level sh64 directory was using the binary number for CTL_KERN. That is a no-no so I removed the support for the sysctl binary interface only leaving sysctl /proc support. At least the
