I have a SLES15 SP4 system running under KVM on a z13s that refuses to IPL after upgrading from SP3. The failure message is "! Cannot read stage2 boot loader !". I've IPLed into a rescue shell from the SP4 ISO, set up a chroot environment, and re-ran grub2-install with no obvious errors. Still n

QEMU w/TCG: emulate missing CPU features?

2021-03-01 Thread Alan Haff
Greetings, Will QEMU using TCG instead of KVM emulate CPU features that are missing on the host processor? Specifically, will it emulate ESA/390 architecture on a z14 or z15 with this config: z900.3 for example? I've already confirmed that config doesn't provide features from newer

Moving a Linux guest from z/VM to KVM?

2020-11-30 Thread Alan Haff
I have a number of Linux guests running under z/VM. I'd like to move some of them to a KVM host running in another LPAR. Naively I tried DDRing a guest's disks to new volumes and IPLing off of the new volumes. No luck, the virtio modules aren't available in the guest so it can't see any DASD. H
