backup product
The divisions here are migrating away from Netbackup to CommVault. The only problem is that Netbackup currently does not work with SLES15 and CommVault is not certified for s390x SLES15 (only for x86). Does anyone have any recommendations for a product that will backup up our linux servers (dasd and san) ? We are also precluded from using VMTAPE and VMBACKUP (from CA). Thanks.

Then give each server a std size at start for ex 4G and max mem 8G, so you can add the remaining 4G on the fly at need. Then adjust memory so it's not using swap, or very little of it. We have servers with total memory size from 512MB up to 28GB. Almost everyone have two small 128M vdisk as swap and one physical 500MB swap just in case. That is the optimal, often it may vary so sometimes swap is heavily used.

Re: Oracle Licensing
Thx and thx to all who responded -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Kevin Gates Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2015 5:17 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Oracle Licensing Hello Alan, Oracle licensing is core based and an IFL is one core. If you have 18 IFLs, but only 3 in the LPAR that hosts Oracle you need only pay for 3 licenses. You do not have to have any `dummy' Oracle servers running in other LPARS, the number of VMs does not matter, etc. You only pay for the number of IFLs that are assigned to the LPAR where Oracle is running, that's it. (If you are familiar with CPU Pooling and how it can be used to lower IBM software charges it does not apply for Oracle.) The main difference between Oracle licensing and distributed is the multiplier used to determine the cost. For example, with some Intel processors you have a .75 multiplier. So, if Oracle Enterprise Database has a base cost of $10,000 the per core charge for the Intel processors would be $7,500. IFLs have a 1.0 multiplier so the cost per IFL would be $10,000. Although our per core charge is more than on the distributed side customers still save a good amount of money because they use much fewer cores.

oracle licensing
We are in the process of negotiating Oracle licenses. We currently have 2 cecs and 4 lpars (running 18 shared IFLs in total). We currently have 2 oracle servers in production (both on the same lpar). We have been told that we need to have at least one oracle server on each lpar (in other words- 3 dummy servers). I would like to know how the licensing works in other organizations. Any comments ?

Re: SLES12 / partitioning
Thanks Mark: During the install, I removed /var, /opt/ ,tmp and /home from the btrfs (dasda). I then created these partitions on their own device (dasdb thru dasde). When I log in, via maintenance mode due to the failed dependency errors, everything looks fine. I can see the separated partitions. I can create files/directories within those mount points. The /etc/fstab looks ok also. This looks like some kind of timing issue. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Mark Post Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2014 6:03 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: SLES12 / partitioning On 11/12/2014 at 08:46 AM, Levy, Alan al...@doitt.nyc.gov wrote: Just starting to test with sles12.

EPEND Dependency failed for Local File Systems. DEPEND Dependency failed for Postfix Mail Transport Agent. I would have expected you to get a warning from YaST about having other file systems interfering with the subvolumes. Such as /home, and a bunch of stuff under /var. Did that happen? When you ssh in, what do you see with the df command? Can you see the /var/log/YaST2 directory? I tried to replicate your problem. I did get the warning, but said to continue. I did _not_ see the failed dependency messages you got. But, due to the btrfs subvolumes being mounted over /var after the installation completed, a lot of directories and files that were in /var are masked by the additional mounts.

SLES12 / partitioning
Just starting to test with sles12. My colleagues and I are trying to find a good way of setting up the mount points. In the past, we have used the following methodology (on a mod-9): 191 - profile exec 292 - 1500 cyl/1G / 293 - 730 cyl/.5G swap 294 - 4785 cyl/3.3G /usr 295 - 1500 cyl/1G /usr/local 296 - 1500 cyl/1G /var/log Now that /, /usr and swap are included in the btrfs subvolumes, we are wondering whether to continue this methodology (of minidisks) or whether to create one big minidisk (on a mod-29) as 292 - 32276 cyl - 22G and then partition it further into /opt, /home etc. I have tried it with minidisks like this: 191 - profile exec 292 - 10500 cyl/7G / /usrswap 293 - 6000 cyl/4G /var 294 - 6000 cyl/4G /opt 295 - 6000 cyl/4G /tmp 296 - 3775 cyl/3G /home I keep getting errors (might have to open pmr on this): DEPEND Dependency failed for /var.

oracle question
I have a request for a linux server that will be hosting an oracle data base.

Does anyone have any thoughts about giving this person 8G of swap ? First reaction: way, way too much unless they have usage data that shows it in use. If they're sizing based on deployments on other platforms, they need to look at it again; most times they want huge memory sizes because it was that way on another platform where I/O was extremely expensive and they needed lots of SGA space to cushion the I/O load. But, if they can show use, large swap may be needed to soak up an occasional spike for really large queries. Are there any recommendations for an oracle server ? It's workload dependent. One-size-fits-all really can't work. Get them to actually measure what the server is doing, and then start with about half what they had on the previous platform and work up.

It seems, from out network traces, that when the server reboots, it has 2 mac addresses in the arp tables on the firewall (one from before and one from after the reboot). 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.

SMT on s390x
I just found out that SMT does not work on sles 10 s390x and that YUP is no longer supported. Document (3065146) Setting up a local update server for SLE 10 with YUP states Please note, that as of July 2008 yup is deprecated. It has been replaced by SMT (Subscription Management Tool for SUSE Linux Enterprise). The following is from a PMR I opened with IBM. Anyone who wants SMT to run on 390x should contact IBM or Novell reps and maybe they will add 390x support. Action Taken: Response from Novell engineering I'm afraid, for now SMT is only available for x86 and x86_64 and so far there is no planned release for s390x yet. But if Novell sees customer demand for s390 please let us know, we will be happy to adjust the situation if a proven and reasonable business case is given and a product management's review approves it, taking all constraints into account. There is a request for such feature already in our enhancement request tool and I will monitor it. If you have any strong business case, please let me know and I will add it to the request. Currently Novell advises customers who use s390x architecture to setup a x86 or x86_64 system with SMT. I know the solution is not working well for every customer and I'm sure there are reasons why they would want to keep their environment zSeries only. That is when a business case comes into place and will help to build a strong case for Novell. The same applies to PPC and IA64, although chances for a solution on s390x are much higher.

MySQL-max is the MAXDB (previously SAPDB) version of their product. It might be what you want, but probably isn't. If you want to write programs that make calls to a MySQL server, then mysql-devel would be your choice. If all you want is to have the run-time libraries on your system so that applications written to make MySQL calls will work, then just mysql-client.

Re: Vdisk
Thanks for the answer. 1) Make sure you have sufficient paging space to back CP allocating 1G of pages per guest. The initial allocation that comes with VM isn't big enough, and while you won't use it all at once, you WILL eventually need it. I have one mod9 and 6 mod3 for paging (total pages 5281K) - abo0ut 38% used right now. Would this be sufficient ?

Thanks, Simon G. 8-) How would you define a 1G swap space with vdisk ? 1) Make sure you have sufficient paging space to back CP allocating 1G of pages per guest. The initial allocation that comes with VM isn't big enough, and while you won't use it all at once, you WILL eventually need it. 2) Update SYSTEM CONFIG to remove the limit on VDISK allocation. The statement is already there in newer VMs, just commented out. It has a nice comment block near it so you know which one to use. 3) Divide 1G by 512 bytes. This gives you the number of blocks needed for the VDISK. 4) Download SWAPGEN EXEC from www.sinenomine.net. 5) Set your Linux guests up to IPL CMS first, then put a call to SWAPGEN into their PROFILE EXEC. The syntax of SWAPGEN is documented in the comments in the exec. 6) Once SWAPGEN defines the VDISK and puts a Linux swap signature on it, the last thing to do in the PROFILE EXEC is to have the machine IPL Linux. I have about 30 linux servers, each with about 1G swap on physical dasd. Can I use Vdisk for each of them ? Yes. VDISK is allocated a 4K page at a time, as it's actually used, not all at once. It's also pageable, so CP can flush out unused stuff to CP paging space if it needs elbow room. Can a 3G system handle 30G (or more) of vdisk ? As long as your guests don't try to use all 30G at once, yes, but you should keep a closer eye on your Linuxen; if they start swapping hard enough to chew through a gig of swap, there's something else evil going on. The trick is not to actively use all your real storage for VDISK -- you can define more VDISK than you have physical RAM, but you don't want to use it all at once. You definitely need to be sure you have CP paging space sufficient to back all the allocated VDISK you define, though -- that's just a good safety net. What would be the system limit ? User limit ? Personally, I turn the system limit off. The user limit should be what you have allocated, so I don't really use that limit either. Others have pointed you to redbooks; there are also good comments in SWAPGEN EXEC on how to do it as well. -- 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

In the last major Intel deployment I was involved with, the consultants from the third-party intermediary insisted that we do that for systems with 8GB, 16GB, etc., even though the amount of swap space actually being used on the systems was *zero*. This is what Oracle recommends, so we want you to do that. I fought it, but the account manager caved, finally. Squeeze your guests down as much as possible, and see how much swap really gets used. (Remember, VDISK can support a _lot_ of paging I/O with no performance impact.) Reduce your swap sizes to cover that, plus as much insurance as you think you might need.

Re: Vdisk
Of the 30 servers I have now, only 3 are currently swapping (and not much). Btw: I got the 2 x memory algorithm from IBM and I've been using it for about 4 years now. I am not having any problems with 1G swap on dasd but lately have seen many people talking about vdisk as a replacement. I can get as many mod3 as I want - I just don't know how many. If I start to use vswitch, would you recommend that I put 500m on dasd and the other 500m on vdisk (and put a higher priority on the vdisk swap) ? My users could always use an extra 500m of space. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Boyes Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2007 10:18 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Vdisk I have one mod9 and 6 mod3 for paging (total pages 5281K) - abo0ut 38% used right now. Would this be sufficient ? Hmm. Without knowing the usage patterns of your system, and not having perf data, I'd be cautious in saying it's enough for total safety, but it looks like enough to get started w/o serious risk. Two questions/observations: 1) Are your Linuxen using their swap space at all? If so, how much/often? The answer to is it enough depends a lot on this answer. 2) Trade the mod 9 for 3 mod 3s if you can. Additional device addresses allow CP to initiate multiple simultaneous I/Os, and while CP tries to get the most bang for it's buck by lining up multiple pages to be transferred at the same time when it can, the more devices it has to work with, the better it can manage. If CP has to page hard -- like flush out a bunch of VDISK pages to satisfy demands to back virtual storage for guests -- this tends to make a fairly hefty difference IF you're careful to not land all the devices on the same drawer in your storage subsystem. -- 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

Re: Vdisk
When I do a TOP, the Performance Toolkit shows a spike to 90% of the cpu. When I ctrl-C out of top, it goes down to 32% (normal). This one server is a memory hog. It uses Tomcat (on sles9 sp3) with 350 connections at one time (I do not own this server, I just set it up and we are currently rearchitechting it using sles10). When I do a PS, it pages on forever (actually 400+ processes). Would vdisk help in this situation (or maybe 1G on disk and 500M on vdisk or some variation) ? -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Thornton Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2007 10:47 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Vdisk On Feb 28, 2007, at 9:28 AM, Levy, Alan wrote: Unfortunately, I cannot do a TOP.

Vdisk
(For Bennie :-)) As a newbie to Vdisk, I have a few questions. How would you define a 1G swap space with vdisk ? I have about 30 linux servers, each with about 1G swap on physical dasd. Can I use Vdisk for each of them ? Can a 3G system handle 30G (or more) of vdisk ? What would be the system limit ? User limit ? I am a little confused about this. Can anyone point me to some simple documentation ? It would be nice to reclaim the 1G of swap dasd space for the user to use.

Copying server to another IFL
I have 2 IFLs here (one in production and one in test). I DDRd a server from production to the test IFL. This server has 3 dedicate statements in the directory (for the OSA triplet). Let's call them AB01, AB02 and AB03. I know that when I bring up this test server, it will not come up since the OSA cards are different on both IFLs (OSA addresses on the test IFL are XY01, XY02 and XY03). Here is my question: Assume that I make some configuration changes manually (IP address, hostname, netmask, gateway address, etc.) using sed or perl and that I change the OSA dedicate statements in the test server directory from ABnn to XYnn. Once I bring up the server, how can I change the OSA addresses in all of the suse configuration files - without using YAST (since I will not have SSH capability for the test server) ? I know that there are several files in the /etc/sysconfig/network directory that have to be changed (e.g. ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-.0.0.AB01).

OSA question
We have a vswitch defined here as follows: VSWITCH SYSTEM VSW1 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 3Maxconn: INFINITE PERSISTENT RESTRICTEDNONROUTER Accounting: OFF VLAN Unaware State: Ready IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 Portname: UNASSIGNED RDEV: FA00 Controller: DTCVSW2 VDEV: FA00 Portname: UNASSIGNED RDEV: FB00 Controller: DTCVSW1 VDEV: FB00 BACKUP This vswitch was defined over 1 year ago and at that time failover was tested successfully. This works great and worked great until this past Sunday. Our network group was doing maintenance and brought down the primary osa FA00. The switch did not fail over to the FB00 osa. They had to back out their changes. We found out this week that sometime in the past year, one of the cables to the FB osa became unplugged (there are no other servers connected to that switch). Our network group actively checks the LAYER-2 (MAC) addresses display on the Cisco switches where the OSA connections are plugged. They only see the MAC address of the primary interface on the VSWITCH. The backup VSWITCH port does not show a MAC address on the Cisco switch. They would like to actively monitor both interfaces so that if a real problem occurs on the backup interface, it can be detected PRIOR to a VSWITCH failover. Since they currently can't monitor those connections they never noticed it had a problem. Then when we really needed the backup it wasn't there and we experienced an outage. Is there a way to have both the primary and backup OSA interfaces show a MAC address on the Cisco switches? -- 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 attachment: image001.jpg
Patching Servers
I submitted this last week but I'm not sure it went through. I have a number of linux servers on our IFL (sles8 and 9). I have been told by our security group that I have to patch these servers at least once every 2 weeks. Previously I was patching them every 2 months. My question is: How are you patching your servers (yast online update, auto update, 3rd party product, etc) and how often ? I was also told to investigate Novell's zenworks to see if it would work on S390. Does anyone have any experience with this product ? Are there other products out there that do the same thing ? Thanks. -- 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 attachment: image001.jpg
