Hi, Just providing my 2 cents, take it for what it's worth... For the 7+ years I have been supporting Linux on System z we have a typical set up of one 3390-9 to contain the SLES installation, one 3390-3 as swap space, and one virtual disk for swap (the size depends on the nature of the

Hi, I am having trouble configuring SLES 12 to logoff the z/VM guest when it shuts down (in some situations). In SLES 11 I updated the parameters in /etc/zipl.conf and specified 'vmpoff=LOGOFF' and also modified the ctrl-alt-del line in /etc/inittab from ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -r -t 4

Ray, You should detach the CMS-oriented disks from your Linux guest before booting the Linux kernel. Your kernel should only have disks attached that Linux will actually use. Having disks attached/linked that are dedicated to one particular z/VM image will prevent relocation. Thanks, Sam

I'm going back and putting / in a partition of it's own. And will then try to add the other 3 disks to a btrfs. So during install I don't see a way to add 3 disks to btrfs without first creating an LVM volume group. I see no way to run this command, btrfs device add dev1 dev2 /path/to/filesystem

That's good - you shouldn't need this link anyway unless something in your PROFILE EXEC is actually using TCPIP commands..but even so - detaching it before IPLing Linux (along with anything else non-Linux you have linked) would work as well.. Scott Rohling On Fri, Dec 19, 2014 at 2:23 PM,
