Adding CPUs

2014-07-24 Thread Cameron Seay
It's me again, everybody! We are using DIRMAINT. I need to increase my virtual cpus to 4. I know how to add virtual storage via DIRMAINT. No problem. Adding CPUs seems a little trickier. All of our guests include LINDFLT, which is configured as follows: PROFILE LINDFLT CLASS G IPL CMS

Enabling SSL for access to a z/OS guest

This may be a question for the z/OS board, but since all of our z/OS lives inside z/VM guests I will ask it here first. Our IT staff wants us to use SSL so that outside users can access the z/VM LPAR without having to get vpn accounts. Currently they do. We access z/OS via logging into a VM

Hi... You need the cpu directory statement... http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/zvm/v6r2/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.zvm.v620.hcpa5%2Fdcpu.htm It is not in the default profile. It is defined for each user. Each cpu statment you add is another cpu. Just put 4 of them... One of them needs to be the

Unless you want all your Linux machines to have four CPUs, you'd have to change your profile. There is this line in the doc of the CPU directory statement: If specified, the CPU statement must appear before any device statements. Since you have NICDEF in your profile, you can't put CPU

Since you are using DIRMAINT, it knows where to put the CPU statements. The MACHINE statement defines the maximum you can define dynamically, but you always get the number of CPUs defined by CPU statements. Since you have only 1 guest that needs 4 CPUs, don't define them in the profile, but

I logged into MAINT and made the changes you sent me. I saw no errors, and got a message that each change is now online. I then log into the guest and DEFINE CPU 1, etc and get a message that I am asking for more cpus that I have available. What did I miss? On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 10:34 AM,

You need to do a LOGOFF/LOGON on the guest before trying to DEFINE CPU 1. The user definition are only read at LOGON, so the old configuration is still in place. Mauro http://mauro.limeiratem.com - registered Linux User: 294521 Scripture is both history, and a love letter from God. 2014-07-24

Suspending and starting a Linux server

I have what I think is a simple question. Maybe I'm not clear about how to stop and restart a Linux server, but I was under the impressing that if I have a running Linux server in a guest I could suspend it and then return to the state that the server was in when I suspended it. My question

Linux on System z does support hibernation. It is documented as suspending and resuming, but it is not a suspend like you suspend a laptop. It is more like hibernation where all active memory is written to a swap DASD before Linux stops. See the device drivers book for the level of Linux that

That depends on what version and distribution you're running. If you're on SLES 11 SP3, you absolutely can. I'm not at my desk so I can't be specific, but the Commands and Device Drivers manual should tell you how. Mark PostCameron Seay cws...@gmail.com wrote: Cameron Seay cws...@gmail.com

Methods for migrating to new storage hardware

We are moving to new san hardware, vacating old hardware. We use LVM with SLES. Wondering how most folks handle this nowadays- for example whether use pvmove's or lvconvert's, fstab updates, etc. The man page for lvconvert has me a bit confused. Ann Smith
