Re: Status of VDISK after swap space usage

2015-12-10 Thread Mrohs, Ray (JMD)
It's a bit of a balancing act. Running zLinux lean and mean also opens up the possibility of extensive swapping under unusual conditions. With WebSphere and other big Java applications, it's almost a given. Not a big issue when it's only a couple servers, but in large 24x7 server pools, the VDIS

Status of VDISK after swap space usage

Hi, Our environment consists of SLES 11.4 servers under VM 6.2. Sometimes we have misbehaving Linux applications that dip heavily into the SWAPGEN configured swap space. After things settle down, Linux never lets go of the space until we issue a swapoff -a, and swapon -a. Of course I do this a

Has anyone had a problem with Match Group and ChrootDirectory in sshd_config? It worked fine in 11.3 but now the ChrootDirectory statement forces the client to disconnect. A case is open with Novell but wondering if anyone else is seeing this? Ray Mrohs Lockheed Martin Corporation Service Deli

You might be able to limp along without real VM support for a while, but it will be much harder to diagnose and fix performance and capacity issues that are bound to crop up. That's not to say you can't learn on the fly as your Linux instances go through their development phase. You will also wa

Our site is looking to upgrade from WebSphere 7 Base to 8.5 ND. The new Network Deployment version provides clustering and easier(?) maintenance. However I was wondering about the true advantages of WAS ND running under Linux on a single mainframe. For sure, we would be trading simplicity for a

Any way to summarize system ACL settings?

Over time, some of my systems have ACLs scattered around and I'm looking for a way to get a report of which users and groups have ACLs set across a file system. The closest I got so far is getfacl -Rst / , but it still gives a lot of detail to sift through. Are there any utilities that will disp

Hi, This question is for those who are running SMT to service your SLES11 virtual Linux servers. Do you maintain the repositories on x86 servers, z/Linux servers, or other? Are there any security, capacity, or usability issues that determined how your SMT is deployed? Thanks. Ray Mrohs --

Z customers wouldn't be the only ones affected. Something like this could ruin IBM's business model for Linux expansion. I believe the majority of zlinux sites are running SuSE, due to the real or perceived close working relationship that Novell has with IBM and the benefits derived from it. Ray
