We cannot ping or ssh into the server after the reboot. Yesterday, we rebooted it. The network group ran traces, captured packets, etc and we found that if we pinged the network gateway address from this server, everything started working again. Has anyone seen this before ? Switches (not hubs) have what is called a filtering database. This database contains (MAC,port,VLAN) tuples. It is populated by the switch as it learns which end stations are plugged into which ports. This allows switches to avoid sending unicast ethernet frames to ports whose end stations don't care. How does it learn? It looks at the SOURCE MAC addresses on inbound frames. If a TARGET MAC address VLAN is in its database, it will forward the frame to the correct port. If not, it is supposed to (if not administratively prevented from doing so) copy the frame to all ports. If a MAC moves to a different port, the switch will forward to the wrong port, until a frame comes into the new port. The frame that come in is usually the gratuitous ARP broadcast response (grat-ARP) that IP stacks send when an interface is activated. It serves two purposes: (1) It populates/updates each neighbor's ARP cache, and (2) it updates the switch's filtering database. (Switches can be turned into expensive hubs by turning off learning mode entirely.) Database entries, like ARP caches, age out after a period of time. IEEE say 5 minutes should be the default. On a layer 3 (IP) VSWITCH, CP will issue the grat ARPs for each guest if there is an OSA failover. On a layer 2 (ETHERNET) VSWITCH, CP will remember the last grat-ARP the guest has sent for IPTIMEOUT minutes. WARNING WARNING: The IPTIMEOUT needs to be at least as large as the switch's forwarding entry age out setting. If the switch value is lower than IPTIMEOUT, then an OSA failover event will result in frames being sent to the bad OSA port since CP won't have any information to us on grat-ARPs (Unless the port went dark, in which case all of the forwarding entries related to that port should be purged.) You can see this happening when PING won't work until you ping out from the guest. The switch sees the MAC come in and updates its database. But if there hasn't been a failover event with mismatched timeout/age-out values, then I would look at the switch to see what's in its filtering database. If that looks ok, then I would get VSWITCH data traces. If that looks ok, then I suspect the physical switch of misbehavior.

Seems like the default should be yes, given that that's the way ARP has worked for decades. You beat me to it. RFC 5227 (IPv4 address conflict detection, ACD) takes Stevens' grat ARP (request, not reply - my bad) to the next level, and establishes the standard for detection of duplicate IP address usage. To quote from section RFC 5227 section 2.1: Before beginning to use an IPv4 address (whether received from manual configuration, DHCP, or some other means), a host implementing this specification MUST test to see if the address is already in use, by broadcasting ARP Probe packets. This also applies when a network interface transitions from an inactive to an active state, when a computer awakes from sleep, when a link-state change signals that an Ethernet cable has been connected, when an 802.11 wireless interface associates with a new base station, or when any other change in connectivity occurs where a host becomes actively connected to a logical link. Exceptions would be permitted for interfaces that, while physically connected to the infrastructure, are not ready to receive packets for a particular IP. I.e. backup interfaces. If you're going to turn off grat ARPs (an incredibly dumb idea), you have to turn off learning mode on the switches. Feh. If there's going to be a setting to control grat ARPs, it needs to be a flag on ifconfig and ioctl(), not some global server setting. IMHO, of course.

Re: zOS translation tables for FTP to linux
Most likely, there is. But cent sign is not necessarily a unique hex code in the many code pages supported by UNIX and z/OS. So you really need to know what code page you have on z/OS (likely either CP032 or IBM-1047). And what code page you want on z/Linux, such as ISO8859-1 or UTF-8 or ... . The proper command during the ftp would be something like: quote site sbd=(ibm1047,iso8859-1) I just tried the above and it __appeared__ to work. At least when I did a cat on Linux, I saw a logical not (0xac) sign and a cent sign (0xa2) where I expected them. My Linux has the LANG=en_US.UTF8 set. When I tried UTF-8 instead of iso8859-1 in the above command, I got a weird error message and a 0 length file. 557 Data contains codepoints that cannot be translated I would recommend against a BINary transfer. Yes, iconv will do it. But there are oddities. The first that if you BINary transfer from a z/OS legacy data set (such as a sequential dataset), there is no end-of-record indicator at the end of each record. For a Fixed Length record, you can translate using iconv, then insert an LF where needed. But for a Variable Length record, you have no idea where the records end, in general. If you BINary transfer a z/OS UNIX file, you will have the z/OS UNIX end-of-line character. However, the problem occurs because the z/OS UNIX end of line character is an NEL 0x15, not an LF 0x0a. iconv on z/Linux will translate this to a 0x85, not 0x0a. So you must translate that is a separate step. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

2012 Workshop June 28 - 30 2012 at the University of Kentucky (Lexington KY)
WHO:
z/VM, and Linux on System z Friends,
WHAT:
Location, travel, lodging from (really inexpensive!) dorm rooms up to nearby
hotels, registration, travel hints, and sponsor information for the 2012 VM
Workshop have been posted to http://www.vmworkshop.org
WHERE:
The University of Kentucky in beautiful downtown Lexington, KY.
WHEN:
SESSION DATES: Thursday morning JUNE 28 until NOON Saturday JUNE 30.
Choose from multiple concurrent presentations packed full of up-to-the-minute
technical details for all levels of z/VM, and Linux on System z users.
(Wednesday June 27 is reserved for VM Workshop planning committee meetings; if
you are interested in planning, please *do* join the committee.)
WHY:
Previous VM Workshops have been referred to by the small-minded as: 'a large
number of system programmers with some limited adult supervision' (do you
_really_ want to miss this!??). Expect another wonderful up close and
personal workshop with great content and terrific camaraderie. Come to meet
VM old-timers... and *future* VM old-timers while learning the latest technical
z/VM and Linux for System z details. Don't know where to start with Linux on
System z? This is a great place to start!
PRICE:
Unchanged from last year, ** ONLY $100 per attendee**. The best bargain out
there for VM and Linux on System z education, and reasonable for anyone paying
their own way.
MEALS **INCLUDED** in the registration fee (how can you go wrong with all this
included!!?):
- BREAKFAST Thursday
- LUNCH Thursday
- DINNER and Reception, and VM 40th Birthday Party (with cake, of
course!) at the nearby Hyatt Hotel (free shuttle van provided)
- BREAKFAST Thursday
- LUNCH Thursday
- DINNER Friday (for those not choosing go into town, exploring what
beautiful downtown Lexington has to offer)
- BREAKFAST Saturday
- LUNCH Saturday
HOW:
Registration is now LIVE, please check it out soon! (Live servers are
standing by to take your registration!)
Advice: onsite registration is not likely, and will involve additional fees to
the university, so register now!
As encouragement to register soon: EVERYONE REGISTERED BY **JUNE 1ST** WILL BE
GUARANTEED THEIR VERY OWN EXCLUSIVE VM WORKSHOP **POLO SHIRT** up to size 4X
(not another cheap T-shirt given away at those higher-priced conferences).
:-)~
PARTICIPATE:
Compete in the infamous Ugly Hawaiian Shirt contest for a chance to win a
treasured, but ugly prize! (B.Y.O.U.H.S.)
If you have a cool tool or other procedure that you developed, please consider
sharing it by filling in either (or both!)
- a VM Workshop session submission form at
http://www.vmworkshop.org/2012/presenters
- a VM Workshop tools submission form at
http://www.vmworkshop.org/tools/submit-a-tool
Tools will be published to vmworkshop.org ASAP.
The VM Workshop began as a way for VM systems programmers to share what they do
at their sites, what tools they had written, and what they had learned... let's
stay on that track of mostly USER-PRESENTED sessions. Don't have enough to
fill an hour? No problem... submit the idea (or multiple ones!) and the
committee will merge multiple shorter presentations in to full hour sessions.
Don't be shy, we're all your z/VM and Linux on System z **friends** - no
'flaming' is tolerated.
Place this on your calendars and please join us at the University of Kentucky.
Don't miss this fun (and learning) event!

Question to LDAP/RACF
Dear all, I am trying to enable z/VM LDAP/RACF configuration to consolidate to user administration into one directory. In principle the thing works fine however I have a question regarding the right configuration: LDAP allows for dynamic groups. Those groups are based on LDAP queries and avoid the need of adding/deleting manually users to such groups. I defined a dynamic group called users that would qualify all accounts that have the attribute uid. The memberURL is as follows: dn: cn=users,dc=xxx objectclass: posixGroup objectclass: top objectclass: ibm-dynamicGroup cn: users gidnumber: 100 memberurl: ldap:///dc=xxx??one?((objectClass=person)(uid=*)) When I login now with a user I see the following: $ id uid=11002(xbilek) gid=9(usrys) groups=9(usrys) but it should look like id=11002(xbilek) gid=9(usrys) groups=100(users), 9(usrys) The getent group command shows only the name of the groups but no members: getent group users shows only: users:x:100: getent group usrys: shows only: users:x:9: Maybe the posixGroup is not the best. Is there a howto describing the parameters that need to be checked in ldap.conf?

Re: zOS translation tables for FTP to linux
Ah, if the FTP client is on z/OS and it connecting to a Linux server, then they probably need a LOCSITE parameter instead of a SITE parameter: //FTP EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='(EXIT' //OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * OPEN LINUX.SERVER userid password LOCSITE SBD=(IBM-1047,ISO8859-1) PUT zos.dataset /some/path/linux.file /* // -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

Re: zOS translation tables for FTP to linux
On zVM and probably zOS the default FTP Client and server xlate tables can be set. -- Bruce -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
