Re: SLES11 SP2 install procedures for zseries

I wouldn't use a z/VM minidisk.. you 'could' access it using cmsfs from Linux - but it would be easier/better to just get the iso file into a Linux filesystem. Scott Rohling On Wed, Aug 8, 2012 at 5:52 PM, Smith, Ann (CTO Service Delivery) < ann.sm...@thehartford.com> wrote: > Or directly 'ftp

Re: SLES11 SP2 install procedures for zseries

If the server is an existing zlinux server and you have connectivity to Novell - sure - or even easier - use wget and point to the ftp or http url. If it requires authentication - there are wget options for that as well. Scott Rohling On Wed, Aug 8, 2012 at 5:43 PM, Smith, Ann (CTO Service Deli

Re: SLES11 SP2 install procedures for zseries

You could download the iso, extract its contents to an usb disk, and run a lightweight http server (like Xitami, Abyss or MicroApache) or ftp server (like filezilla) on the Windows box. This way you could use the HTTP or FTP installation method. If you already have a Linux running under zVM, you c

Re: SLES11 SP2 install procedures for zseries

You could ftp the iso to a server and then mount it as a filesystem.. for example: mount -o loop -r sles11.iso /mnt You then need either the server to allow access via ftp, nfs, or even http.. so you can point the other servers to it as the source for the upgrade media. I could be misunderstandi

Yes I am late. Yes I should have paid more attention when others asked in the past. I finally want to upgrade SLES10 SP4 servers on mainframe to SLES11.

Too bad Tymshare never donated TymVSAM to the VM community, or at least made it more generally available. I never used it directly, just as a user of a canned application that used it. Simple single user VSAM in standard CMS files. /Tom Kern On 8/8/2012 14:56, David Boyes wrote: >> I'm all for

SQLite might be very nice to emulate some parts of VSAM, mainly KSDS (keyed) with alternate indices. I don't see where it would be correct for ESDS (the only other VSAM supported by CICS). Another thing which might be useful could be Berkeley DB: The Berkeley Database (Berkeley DB) is a program

Good point about prefacing the environment ddnames with *something* to ensure they don't conflict with other environment names.
