System Mail consolidation

Hi All Does anyone collect the System emails generated by Linux images in a central location, currently I invoke the mail command on each image but I would like to look in one location, This location could be a pc or a System z Linux image. Any ideas. Regards Gerard Ceruti may the 'z' be with

I have the extra status messages that different tasks generate in each linux server sent to a central LISTSERV and at 08:00 it does its digest and sends one email to me with all of the status from over night. Exception emails are sent directly to my email and therefore to my blackberry. The userid

In the root userid, you can add a .forward file, pointing to where you'd like the e-mail messages to flow. This will forward everything to a central e-mail address. You can use syslog to route the console messages to a central syslog sink to collect all the other messages to one location. --

HiperSocket Performance

Hello all, We are a longtime zOS shop taking the plunge into the zVM / zLinux (SUSE 10SP2) world. We had never implemented HiperSockets in our zOS environment so our experience with this technology is rather limited. HiperSockets were implemented specifically to support our desire to take

For bulk data transfer, make the MTU size as large as possible, and make your packet sizes at least 40 bytes smaller than the maximum MTU to avoid fragmentation of data packets. That allows space for the TCP header on each packet. Note that this will affect interactive response, so it's probably

zLinux assigns the MTU size according to the IQD CHPID definition. For sake of discussion lets say I set the CHPID to a Max Frame Size of 64K, that would give me an MTU size of 56K according to the Doc. Where can I control the size of the packets I'll send across the interface? In the Tape

Dave, With the above settings I'm seeing throughput in the area of 15-18 Mb per second. We also have FDR/UPSTREAM and use hipersockets to access the zOS tape library. Our SAP systems run continuously except for a very small window early Sunday morning. (Too small to perform all of our

SWAPGEN and PROFILE EXEC's

2009-01-15 Thread Gentry, Stephen
I want to use the SWAPGEN exec to create a VDISK. To my knowledge, the only way to do this is with an EXEC (usually a PROFILE EXEC) to create the swap disk. I have switched from using a PROFILE EXEC to IPL'ing the boot disk directly in the USER DIRECTory. Is there a way I can run SWAPGEN in this

No, you've got no CMS then. You can do it on the linux side (we do ) --- Put in your /etc/init.d/boot.local (or if redhat, whatever file) something like: /sbin/mkswap /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.ff00-part1 /sbin/mkswap /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.ff01-part1 /sbin/swapon

2009-01-15 Thread Scott Rohling
One reason I'd suspect you may be moving to directory rather than PROFILE EXEC is that if you have a common PROFILE EXEC -- then everybody ends up getting the same number, size of VDISKs which usually isn't ideal. You might think about using some common file that lists the guests and what

Re: SWAPGEN and PROFILE EXEC's

I'm pointing each Linux guest's 191 to a common minidisk on another UserID, where all guests execute the same PROFILE EXEC. It IPLs Linux if the Linux guest is started disconnected. The PROFILE also does EXEC userid(), for which there is a unique EXEC on the common 191 for the guest. That

Re: SWAPGEN and PROFILE EXEC's

2009-01-15 Thread Scott Rohling
That works too - but the down side is little individual PROFILE execs with duplicated logic across them. I know disk space is cheap -- but I look at every individual, unique EXEC as something that must be maintained and worried about... So I tend to lean towards control files and common code
