SwapCache

Is there a way to disable or limit the amount of SwapCache? I understand it's function, but the double allocation of these pages is causing my low memory alerts to trip. I can remove the swap copy with a swapoff/swapon. Is there a more elegant way to remove?

HLASM for zLinux

Can HLASM for Linux (5799-TCQ) be licensed on a general purpose engine without going thru a special bid process? Most hits I see only talk about IFLs. -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send

CHPIDS N/A

Using the HMC, I configured offline some z990 Ficon dasd chpids to a native SLES8 64-bit (2.4.21-304) lpar. /proc/chpids now shows those chpids as n/a. After configuring back online , I tried to issue echo on 20 /proc/chpids commands without being able to return the chpids to an online status.

VDISK Swap

I have seen the recommendation to using a vdisk's of increasing size for prioritized swap when running under vm. A couple of questions: 1. From a memory standpoint, does VM handle a 25% full 1 GB vdisk differently than a 50% full 500 MB vdisk plus a 0% full 500 MB vdisk? Specifically from a vm

Domino on zSeries

I am running SLES8 for zSeries on a z990. My client is attempting to install Domino. He previously had acquired a c82buna_Domino_654_linux.tar file which contains a s390.rpm. When he attempted the install, he did not get past the uname check for s390 (as opposed to s390x). He has since

QDIO Failure on FTP

I'm running SLES8/64bit using k_deflt-2.4.21-251 and vsftpd-1.1.0-21 connected via VSWITCH under zVM 5.1. When I try to initiate an FTP of a 200 MB file, I almost immediately drop my qeth connection. I am running in a 5 GB virtual machine. If I drop down to a 2GB machine, it works ok. Below

Zebra Printer

Has anyone had any experience with configuring a zebra (model 170XI, in particular) barcode printer using lpr? I've defined the printer using it's IP address and remote queue name of portLF1 in /etc/printcap. The following status error: error 'NONZERO RFC1179 ERROR CODE FROM SERVER' with ack

SLES7 VSWITCH Routing

I am attempting to move a SLES7(32) guest from a 9672 using a Guestlan under z/VM 4.3 to a 2084 using vswitch under z/VM 4.4 (64 bit). I am already running a number of SLES8(64 bit) guests in this environment. I can't seem to route to/from this SLES7 image even though I have default route

Console access running native

If I run Linux native in an LPAR, are there any options in establishing a local terminal session besides using the HMC or SE? -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re-label a disk

Cloning question. Can I change the label on a CDL formatted disk? Are there any implications to eck3, reiser, swap or lvm? Is there a Linux tool I should use or can I get by with a ickdsf cpvol label command? -- For LINUX-390

SLES8 Yast2 problem

I have installed SLES8/64 bit into both under z/VM 5.1 and a native z990 LPAR. I have connectivity via GB OSA, using vswitch for the guest instance. Both instances have 1 GB of memory. I am having trouble running Yast2 using my SLES7/Intel machine as my X server. The initial Yast2 menu

Re: J2EE and JBoss

I guess that's where I am confused. Are J2EE and the IBMJava2-SDK the same thing -or- is J2EE part of the IBMJava2-SDK -or- is J2EE another package dependent on the IBMJava2-SDK? If a separate entity, I don't see it on the download site.
