XCAT workaround on copycds command when used from the GUI

Hi, Firstly a specific question: I believe that the disk pool used by XCAT for its ISO images is completely different to the one used for housing the data used by the cloned guests. In my case the first pool is called XCAT1 and the second pools are LINUX27 and LINUX54 (mod-27 and mod-54

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but if it's just a matter of starting something after every z/OS IPL, we use /etc/rc for that, e.g. it's where we start automount and syslogd as in the following: # start automount /usr/sbin/automount /etc/auto.master # start syslogd _BPX_JOBNAME='SYSLOGD'

NFS client trying to mount z/OS datasets, failure without obvious cause

Hi List, I'm trying to get a SLES11 guest to mount an NFS share from a z/OS NFS server. All appears to work with the mount, i.e. it proceeds without obvious error, but when I try to change to the mounted directory I get permission denied, even when I'm root which I was quite surprised by.

Re: weird(?) idea for an extended symlink functionality

Hi, it was me asking about the DDname concatenation before. Named pipes looks to have almost everything we need. The scenario is a large SAS job sequentially reading dozens of tape datasets under the one input DDNAME, which in the named pipe case might look like the case outlined by Ed M.

Re: weird(?) idea for an extended symlink functionality

Hi, they're all good questions. The problem I see is that on z/OS now we have just one read for each record on the input file (which is actually a long sequence of chained tape datasets). There are probably about ten million or so records to process each daily run, of that order of magnitude
