We were making progress with SAN ... and now we're stuck again. Actually,
SAN itself is working pretty reliably at this point. But I cannot figure
out how to feed a multipath SAN volume into LVM2.
In VM things, you cannot connect to the virtual console of a virtual
machine hosting an LDEV. Th
So it sounds like your nsswitch.conf has you authenticated against LDAP
before any files? Could that be what screwed up root at the local
console?
A few weeks back on this list, I asked about the /etc/inittab change to
leave root logged in to the VM console. Perhaps that's something you
should c
Actually in a real disaster, if it takes out the building the ONLY DNS server I
can reasonably expect to be available here is the one we run on z/OS

My surmization of this is that it was a combination of no functioning DNS and
NO entry in /etc/hosts/ for LDAP to resolve. Please let me
For updates, I've gotten as far as configuring wget to fetch something
off the Novell site, but that's where my efforts stalled. The YAST

It doesn't seem to unreasonable to me that if you have a script always
runs at startup to throw something in there if you detect you are at DR
and it's not a real diaster :) (presumably in a real disaster you can
get to your real DNS servers James?).
We have similar kind of issues. We run our own

I wholeheartedly concur. My original impression of the scenario was
that this was an emergency situation and a quick out was needed.

We've built a small appliance instance that does this for SLES9 and

installs. Would this be of use t

Good point. You may also want to consider making the pair of guests your
internal DHCP servers as well, and configuring them in failover mode.

You could log in to root on the console and echo something to
/etc/hosts? No?
If you consider David B's suggestion, you might want to implement a pair
of them for planned and unplanned outages of that server. Just a

Ok, let me ask a different question. Replies also off-list, please.
Has anyone installed SLES10 and gotten update downloads set up and working? If
so, what doc did you read to figure it out? (My own methods were a mixture of

You could put the name of the z/OS system (the one associated with your

If it's just a matter of adding the name and address of your z/OS host,
why not add it to the local hosts file?
