Re: Configure kernel core dump capture on System z?

2009-12-04 Thread Michael Holzheu
Hallo Floyd, On s390 we have standalone dump tools instead of the Kdump mechanism used on other architectures. The tools are described in the "Using the dump tools" book that you already have mentioned. Normally people use DASD dump for FICON disks and zfcpdump for SCSI. VMDUMP with "vmconvert" (o

We had to make small tweak to a script, result works fine. However, I'm not sure of the timing for official support. Patrick Carroll | Enterprise Architect L.L.Bean, Inc.(r) | Double L St. | Freeport ME 04033 http://www.llbean.com | pcarr...@llbean.com | 207.552.2426 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTI

Configure kernel core dump capture on System z?

2009-12-04 Thread Rodery, Floyd A Mr CIV US DISA CDB12
I was curious if anyone had any information on configuring a kernel core dump capture on zLinux (SLES 10)? Based on my research so far, Novell's standard configuration method only applies to SLES 10/SLED 10 on the x86, PPC64, and IA-64 architecture, as noted below: http://www.novell.com/suppor

Hi all, Thank you for your replies. I think it is clear now that the Sun 3510 FC 'JBOD' box cannot work with zseries FCP (the JBOD version has no controller so it is just an FC-AL string). A standard 3510 may work. Looking at other posts I see that some of the Clariion devices do work although

The issue is not technical, it is a business issue. The traditional method of z/VM maint is to bring up the new release as a guest under the current release. Migrate all of the guests on the current release to the new release, and shut down the "old release". This will promote the "new release" to

Re: WWBD - One large VM LPAR or multiple smaller ones?

2009-12-04 Thread Harder, Pieter
I think there is a more z/VM related issue: master-only work. One lpar obviously has one master. By the time you get to the large lpars contemplated for this thread contention for the master may become a problem. But then I have no real knowledge of this. Probably more something for Barton and R
