large lvm
I eventually have to increase an LVM on my sles 9+ system. Yes i know it is out of support please don't bring it up again. Anyway the LVM is currently over 42GB, but I may be pushing it close to 60GB. It seems to me that when I had a LVM that went over 55GB I had to do some command line magic. I researched today but couldn't seem to find the answer to my question. I seem to remember having to put a -L but maybe I am mis-remembering. Any help is deeply appreciated.

Re: Adding dasd technique
Am I missing something this isn't about the problem ,but helping me understan:
you said
options dasd_mod dasd=200-20f,700-701
The latter is a preallocation of device nodes. You
can add any DASD up
to 70f without needing to remake the initrd or rerun zipl.
Should that be 700-70f??
thanks and sorry about the confusion.

The /dev/disk/ directory contains links with other ways to

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 25 15:13
/dev/disk/by-id/ccw-0X3D2C-part2
- ../../dasda2
You can use these in /etc/fstab, but in your case with LVM,
I don't
think it will help, since LVM entries in fstab are of the
form
/dev/{volume_group_name}/{logical_volume_name}.
Going back to the original issue, the reason the new disk
came up as
dasdg is because you're calling chccwdev/mkswap in
/etc/rc.local. As
Adam, Pat, and Mike pointed out, you should use
modprobe.conf for all
disks. Either:
options dasd_mod dasd=200-205,700-701
in which case any DASD you add after 701 will be
dasdh. Or you could do
something like:
options dasd_mod dasd=200-20f,700-701
The latter is a preallocation of device nodes. You
can add any DASD up
to 70f without needing to remake the initrd or rerun zipl.

You should probably put dasd=200-205,700-701.
But you should also use the by-device-address form of

as long as they stay at the same virtual addresses.
Also don't forget to rebuild your initrd after every

Re: OSA/Express Assistance
You may need to POR the system to reset the osa. I don't know of any other way to bring it back if they are as dead as you say. Saying that and looking at what you've done I would have to take a WAG that here is a less invasive way to bring them back. I am not familiar with native Linux and the operation of it,but do you have an HMC from which you reboot/ipl from? You should be able to go to it and activate the osa cards.

You say both ports. This implies more than one interface. What is your default route set to in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes? Is it set to one of the active interfaces? When you say you are getting martian messages, could you elaborate? Could it be that the firewall got turned on? The interface might be up, but the firewall is disallowing all traffic. Also, there is some sort of OSA support tool that our zOS guy uses. He can go look at the OSA and the what LPARS are attached to an OSA and what addresses they are using. The people who know how to use this tool are out today at a meeting. Do you all have someone who can look at the OSA with this tool and find out if the Linux LPAR is really attached and what address it is using. In my limited experience running Linux in LPARS, there are only a few files that have to be right to get the network up. /etc/sysconfig/network/persistentnetworkname (in our case) ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a100 /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hardware name (in our case) hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.a100 /etc/sysconfig/network/routes And possibly /etc/hosts Also, if you all are a member of SHARE, there was a presentation some time back that included some tips on how to get the network up when it does not want to come up. If you do not have ascii console mode running, it might be worthwhile to use google to find this presentation. (A lot of the presentations are on the linuxvm.org website.) If I remember correctly, the presenter said that by using a few echo commands to the right places, you could get a network up. I never tried it though.

I am trying to get some scripts set
up to start / stop DB2, MQ and Websphere applications. The
scripts I have are in this format:
#! /bin/bash
set -x
case $1 in
'start')
/bin/su - udbdb1 -c

'restart')
stop
start
;;
*)
echo $Usage: $0
{start|stop|restart}
exit 1
;;
Esac
This is failing because the environment variables are not
set up correctly (-1390 reason 3 return code). Any
suggestions on how to fix this?
I have found a way to initiate this with:
sudo -u udbdb1 -i /etc/init.d/db2 start
The problem with this is that I cannot find a way to
implement this in the /etc/sudoers file so a non-privileged
user can run the command.
Any suggestions on how to make either of these methods work
will be greatly appreciated.

At one time we had over 75 virtual servers running, including numerous DB2Connect servers, five TSM servers, the reverse proxy servers front-ending all digital media content on 3M.com, WebSphere development servers, and various odds and ends-type low use servers. It was a blast while it lasted. I had the good fortune to be able to work with nearly all the cool technologies developed in recent z/VM releases - virtual switches (VLAN-aware and unaware), guest LANs, hipersockets (virtual and real), FCP (tape), and more. I have so many people to thank for all their hard work, from all the folks in development who brought this marvelous technology to us, to so many of you contributing to this list day-in and day-out, and especially to all those who have helped me personally with zLinux issues over the years. I'll be dropping into lurk mode on this list for now, but hopefully you'll continue to see me from time to time on VMESA-L, IBM-MAIN, and others.

Question on IP and route changes
I have cross posted this as I feel it might be more of a VM question but maybe it is more Linux realted...thanks We have our z box on public addresses hence VM and all virtual Linux servers are also. We have finally stared a push to move them onto 10 addresses. We have a layer 3 vswitch defined. The network group has given me test ip addresses, subnet mask, and gateway addreses. My problem is I can make the change to a given machine with ifconfig and then view it through VM and see it has changed. But when I try to change the routing info(using route add/del) I get network unreachable. we can ping the 10 gateway from VM and from the linux machine(before the change). When I make the ip change it takes a few minutes and then on VM it is reported that the machine is there. Is it possible that changing this info on virtualized and this (ifconfig/route) would only work on grey boxes with individual real nic cards? Or what have I missed?? thanks Mace -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390

Re: DFDSS Backups
I'll try to answer some of the question. How does that name get generated on the Z/OS side? When the pack is backed-up the jcl has a specific pack ddname associated with it ie(DSN=PROD.BACKUP.FULLVOL.VMUS01(+1) and in your case LINUX.VLX1047.PART0001.NATIVE and this is more than likely a full volume backup. Also they are pointed to a specific vol ser in your case I'll guess the pack name is VLX1047 This is usually a gdg so after a certain number of backups older ones roll off Then next two questions I'll take a stab at: I going to assume the mini disks are only a portion of your 3390 so I'm going to guess that the mini disks are backed-up but on a different vol ser or it is a logical backup . This means that only a portion/certain dataset is pulled(backed-up) but I don't know how this could be unless your z/os guys are backing up certain cyl/trk numbers. We do full pack backups here.

What is the patch number?? thanks Mace --- Patrick Spinler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Mark Perry wrote: | | The Linux Kernel defaults to not using barriers, but SLES has a patch | to enable it by default. Just a couple of thoughts, and information from the article. Note the default above is a filesystem flag. You can turn this on in all your mounts by hand, also. However, be aware this flag is valueless if you're running a filesystem on top of LVM. This is what the article has to say about it: | It turns out that the getting away with it factor is not just luck. Ted Ts'o explains what's going on: the journal on ext3/ext4 filesystems is normally contiguous on the physical media. The filesystem code tries to create it that way, and, since the journal is normally created at the same time as the filesystem itself, contiguous space is easy to come by. Keeping the journal together will be good for performance, but it also helps to prevent reordering. In normal usage, the commit record will land on the block just after the rest of the journal data, so there is no reason for the drive to reorder things. The commit record will naturally be written just after all of the other journal log data has made it to the media. | | That said, nobody is foolish enough to claim that things will always happen that way. Disk drives have a certain well-documented tendency to stop cooperating at inopportune times. Beyond that, the journal is essentially a circular buffer; when a transaction wraps off the end, the commit record may be on an earlier block than some of the journal data. And so on. So the potential for corruption is always there; in fact, Chris Mason has a torture-test program which can make it happen fairly reliably. There can be no doubt that running without barriers is less safe than using them. | Often, once these issues come to light in the linux kernel community, some solutions or another follows.

How does it work?? Linux and a name server
We had a problem yesterday and I need some knowledge. We are running z/VM(vswitch) with Sles 9 sp3. On the Sles servers we have DB2,WAS and custom dbs and an intel mq workflow server . The above doesn't matter but just for history. Anyway, late yesterday we were getting extremely slow response time to our app with some timeouts. I told the app people it was a net work problem but they wanted to blame 1st MQ(me too) then Linux and lastly VM. We came to find out the primary DNS was dead and we were going through the 2nd one. Of couse the network people didn't tell us of a problem we had to ask. But my question is how does Linux handle this situation? Does it have a timeout limit that must be reached before trying the 2nd DNS or does it try x times then die? thanks Larry Never miss a thing.

Re: How does it work?? Linux and a name server
We had 2 name servers in Linux and only 1 on VM so I'm thinking we were getting hung up in VM. We changed resolv.conf this a.m. for 3 and changed VM.

When all DNS servers in the list have been queried and failed, the resolver will return an error. If any one of the other DNS servers returns a response, all you see is very slow name resolutions.

If you've got a system so bare bones that it doesn't have the s390-tools installed, you need to install them before you do much else.

Ed, thank you for the reply, but now I a bit confused. I did an env as root and a huge list of settings came up. I then had cron submit the env commandto a file(env /tmp/env.log) and I was suprised. The path I set(roots path to be exact) wasn't there.Here is the log I got: SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/bin:/bin PWD=/root SHLVL=1 HOME=/root LOGNAME=root _=/usr/bin/env I rechecked /etc/crontab and the path I put in there is there.

THis sounds like a difference in the process environments. When you log in, /etc/profile and a number of other scripts are run for you and these set up many environment variables. But when a cron job is started, none of that setup occurs. You can either make your scripts source those startup files, or figure out which environment variables are not getting set and run those. Because this is DB2, the most likely thing that is not getting run is the $HOME/db2profile script. This sets up a number of environment variables that DB2 requires to do anything, such as DB2INSTANCE. Try putting this command at the beginning of your script: source $HOME/db2profile and see if that doesn't fix things. If not, use env(1) to dump out your environment when logged in and from the cron job, and compare the two. - MacK. - Edmund R. MacKenty Software Architect Rocket Software, Inc.

Re: Restarting DB2 and WAS with crontab
Ed, The problem isn't DB2, I am able to get it working. we verified it by going in a back way. The problemis with our frontend. We use an IE interface to get inot the DB. We bring IE up and when we try to login you can watch the time bar(for lack of a better term) at the bottom right side of the screen begin to work after about 30 seconds(or eternity) the username and password areas blank out and it waits for you to reenter but we then have to take down the services and restart them as root. Here are the command used to start the seervices and DB2: su - lits2 -c db2start /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/startServer.sh server1 /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/startServer.sh icmrm /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/startServer.sh eClient_Server cd /etc /etc/rc.cmrmproc -act start Also here is a cat of /etc/crontab: SHELL=/bin/sh IBMCMROOT=/opt/IBM/db2cmv8 LIBPATH=/opt/IBM/db2cmv8/lib:/home/lits2/sqllib/lib ##PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/lib/news/bin this is the org path PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/home/lits2/sqllib/bin:/home/lits2/sqllib/adm:/home/lits2/sqllib/misc MAILTO=root Remember as root we can enter the ./command I use in crontab and it works.

So where is my path statement or am I wrong in thinking that an env command from cron would show the new path. thanks Mace That looks like the default environment that cron would set up for the root user, and is what I expected to see there. So it looks like whatever you are doing to set your PATH in the crontab isn't working. Could you post your crontab so we can see why that is? What is happening here is that cron does not read the profiles that your shell reads at login time, so the environment variables you need for DB2 commands to work properly are not being set. When your command is being run from cron, there is no login shell involved at all; it is running the command directly. A brute-force way around this problem is to explicitly invoke a login shell from your crontab that runs the DB2 command you want. For example, you could use: bash -l -c db2-command to make cron run a shell that reads all the login profiles (that's what the -l option does), then runs the command given by the -c option. However, that will do a lot more work than you want it to, and can fail if someone puts interactive commands or commands that depend on a tty into root's profile. It would be better to just make your scripts source the db2profile script as I mentioned before. Have you tried that? - MacK. - Edmund R. MacKenty Software Architect Rocket Software, Inc.

Bad news for mainframes
http://serverspecs.blogs.techtarget.com/2007/10/03/us-gpo-ditching-mainframes/?track=NL-576ad=607019asrc=EM_NLT_2315094uid=5701628 U.S. GPO ditching mainframes October 3rd, 2007 by Mark Fontecchio The U.S. Government Printing Office is replacing some mainframe-based back-office software with two Oracle E-Business Suite applications running on a different platform. The GPO, which prints federal government documents for public consumption, already has Oracle applications running but it’s unclear on what platform. This press release from Guident Technologies, which is doing the outsourced work for the GPO for almost $1.6 million, doesn’t say. The GPO will be replacing the mainframe software with Oracle Project Costing and Project Billing, two components of its E-Business Suite. The E-Business Suite runs on Unix, x86 Linux and Windows platforms. From a short story in Washington Technology: The goal is to modernize and streamline the office’s two main business processes – Commercial Printing and Plant Printing. The implementation will enable the GPO to process orders from fulfillment through billing. It will also improve the agency’s ability to track costs and revenue. The new system is designed to improve cash management, control inventory flows and increase procurement efficiencies. I’m really curious to see what platform the GPO is running its E-Business applications on. If it’s Linux, this could become another Oracle certification issue. According to Oracle’s certification matrix, E-Business applications are supported on x86 Linux but not zLinux. Why? Posted: October 3rd, 2007 under Mainframe servers, Mainframe migration decisions I like the last question...Why not zLinux.. mace Shape Yahoo! in your own image.

Re: Problem shutting down Linux under VM
I added the 2 lines you gave me into the server. I then tried to shut it down but it would go down. Remember I have 2 cpus assigned(even though we have only 1 cpu) Here is what I get: 00: HCPGSP2629I The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP stop from CPU 01. 01: HCPGSP2630I The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP stop and store status from CPU 01. At that point I issue #cp disc and it puts me back into the main vm logon screen. When I logon to the server I get: 00: RECONNECTED AT 11:31:56 EST MONDAY 03/05/07 and have to logoff to ge the guest to shutdown. This works fine in a single cpu guest the problem is when I have 2 cpus defined.

(Other shells have history too, and still no timestamps.) Er, both bash and tcsh can timestamp history. tcsh does so by default and bash does so if you set HISTTIMEFORMAT. man bash says HISTTIMEFORMAT If this variable is set and not null, its value is used as a format string for strftime(3) to print the time stamp associ- ated with each history entry displayed by the history builtin. If this variable is set, time stamps are written to the history file so they may be preserved across shell sessions. Often a bit of care needs to be taken to consider what behaviour is wanted for saving history between sessions, multiple shells, login v. non-login shells etc. The man pages for tcsh and bash go into the details. --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 __ Do You Yahoo!?

Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. thanks Mace Want to start your own business? Learn how on Yahoo!

Re: PuTTY Question
I too use putty and thought the change to 2000 lines would be great. So I wnet into putty and made the change , but when I get out of putty the changes don't stick. So my question is how do you make the changes stay?? thanks Mace --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am also using version .058 and the configuration settings are the same as yours. What is your translation setting in PuTTY and $LANG on Linux? I read something about making a change to YaST so I can use the UTF-8 translation, but I don't want to start making alterations when they're not needed.

My settings are : In Terminal, check Use background color to erase screen. This will allow you a pretty drawing of ncurses applications like YaST and mc. This is a must, otherwise the background will be transparent, so black if your background is black. In Window, set a big number for the Lines of scrollback parameter, or you will not be able to scroll the screen to see long output, like a Tripwire report. I use 20,000 lines. In Window/Translation, choose the Use unicode line drawing code points to have a better drawing on the screen in ncurses applications. You can compare with the Poor man's line drawing to see for yourself. In Window/Colours, check the Allow terminal to specify ANSI colours, Allow terminal to use xterm 256-colour mode and Bolded text is a different colour. This is going fine for me. I did not touch the encoding and languages parameters. I use PuTTY 0.58 by the way.

Re: No Communication Between Guests after aplying SUSE 9 SP3
We have vm 5.1 and we are running sles9. Our servers speak to each other. I installed sp3 on 1 and the two wouldn't speak. The minute I installed sp 3 on the other it worked. mace --- José L. Ramírez [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, We have been running SUSE 9 (no service pack) under zVM 4.4 for several months. Recently we added two more guests with SP3 installed, for some reason the SP3 guests can't see the older servers and also there is no communication between the two SP3 servers. Both SP3 servers are able to see the whole internal network plus they have connection to the Internet. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance... Regards, José L.

swap partition increase
I'm running linux sles9 sp3 on z/vm 5.1 . The person who genned the linux guests partitioned a 3390 as /dev/dasdb1 swap 1020.0 MB /dev/dasdb2 /tmp 1.2 GB . This next line is a my humble opinion. There is some kind of memory leak in the java code written for the apps on these guest. Why you ask? When the guests are started we have ~190 tasks running with 0k swap space used. Now as things get started I would expect some swap space to be used. But as the week wears on the number of tasks creep up (~260-280) and the swap space decreases and never releases. The tasks are not zombies but show 'sleeping'. I know the next statement isn't a permanent fix but I need to know if(and how) I can increase my swap space. Or do I have an option B and what that option is and how to impliment that option. again I know the best thing to do is fix the code but that won't happen. thanks Mace __ Do You Yahoo!?
