IOCDS for Redhat

2007-08-20 Thread Bauer, Bobby (NIH/CIT) [E]
I just came back from Share and we would like to try to bring up Linux on an lpar on our z9. I was told to remove all of the dasd except what Linux would be using. What else should or should not be included in this IOCDS? Anything else that might prove helpful? We plan to try this with CentOS-5.

To directly answer your question: 1. Remove anything you don't want to give to the Linux test system. After all, if you don't know what you are doing (that is what a test system is for), then the Linux image, may be told to take and use devices that the production system(s) want. 2. Remove
