Re: red-hat open shift on zlinux
Here is another option if you are interested. SUSE Rancher can be deployed on any enterprise Linux on Z including on RHEL. There are four YouTube videos which show how to deploy the following: * RKE2, a Kubernetes distributions option from SUSE that can run on any enterprise Linux on Z * SUSE Rancher Manager, manages any Kubernetes distribution from a simple to use web UI * A simple containerized application The longest of the four videos are just over 5 minutes. The first video shows the vCPU, memory and storage requirements for a z/VM guest that makes up a part of the three node RKE2 kubernetes cluster. The minimal guest requirement is 2 vCPUs, 8GB memory and 50GB disk. Regards, Mike On 9/27/22 10:53, Jack Woehr wrote: On 9/27/22 10:33 AM, Jack Woehr wrote: Jake got me started.

Re: Moving a Linux guest from z/VM to KVM?

I'd like to move some of them to a KVM host running in another LPAR. Naively I tried DDRing a guest's disks to new volumes and IPLing off of the new volumes. No luck, the virtio modules aren't available in the guest so it can't see any DASD. Has someone put together a recipe for moving a guest from z/VM to KVM? Or am I heading down a dead end? I'm not aware of one, but I wouldn't call it a dead end, either. As a first step, I would rebuild the initrd with whatever parameters are needed to include the virtio drivers, then try again. I have to think that /etc/fstab entries would need to be looked at as well. Look at the virtualization cookbook 5 from the redbooks. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg248463.html?Open chapter 8.7 contains information how to configure a system as such that it can be moved forth and back between LPAR and KVM. That should then also be possible with z/VM. If done right that should allow you to move the guest forth and back between KVM and z/VM. Basic idea: make sure the initrd has classic (DASD) drivers and the virtio-blk driver and then use driver independent names for the partitions. CC Viktor, do we still have our presentation flying around somewhere? I co-authored Chapter 8 and did much of the testing. I agree with Christian that z/VM -> KVM is possible. Chapter 8 starts with a SLES KVM VM running on a SLES KVM host running in an LPAR. The SLES OS is installed on FCP SCSI disks. The KVM VM and host are shutdown and the SLES OS on the SCSI disk is IPL'd in the same LPAR. Using DDR to duplicate the z/VM guest to the new DASDs on your KVM host is a good first step. The good thing about this approach is that you can continue to run the z/VM guest as you work through the hurdles to get the KVM host to boot. I suggest keeping the device ids of the OS disks defined in the KVM guest the same as it is in z/VM. I encourage you to review the virt-install command in the shell script in Appendix B as an example how to define the KVM VM. I would define the NIC with the same device id but add that to a NAT'd KVM network. This will allow the network of the new KVM VM to start but will not step all over the IP address being used while the z/VM guest is running at the same time. I also agree with Mark that it might be necessary to rebuild the initrd so that virtio drivers are available during IPL.

Re: unstable LVM on SLES 12
Hello Csaba, My experience leads me to believe that a step or steps in the upgrade process are the root cause of the issues that you are seeing. You mention making a backup of the OS DASD but it is unclear to me if you tried to perform a test upgrade on this backup DASD. The LVM entries still exist on the backup and LVM errors would happen if the LVMs were not enabled and used on the backup DASD. This is one example of where a step might be a cause of the issues you are seeing. One idea is to use vgexport so that the volume groups and its disks are unable to used during the upgrade process. This is an idea that you should test on a test 11 SP4 system before attempting on the production system. Here are the high level steps that I would do to test this idea. First make sure that the fstab entries are commented out so the LVs are not mounted. Then use vgexport to put the VGs in an offline state. NOTE: It is always a good idea to have a backup of the data on the VGs before performing vg operations like vgexport. Once the VGs are successfully exported, reboot SLES 11 SP4 to make sure that no FS and mounting errors exist. Finally, confirm the VGs and LVs are not used by the system. Once this is done then I would try an offline upgrade from 11 SP4 to 12 SP4. BTW - SLES 12 SP5 is released and I strongly encourage upgrading 11 SP4 to this version. Have you on the customer's behalf or the customer opened a support request to get ideas and recommendations regarding the issues you are seeing? Regards, Mike On 4/14/20 6:17 AM, Csaba Polgar wrote: Hello, In the past, there was an attempt to upgrade a Linux system from SLES11 SP4 to SLES 12 SP4, but it was not successful because of the missing disks after OS upgrade.

It means (see manual pages): (p)artial: One or more of the Physical Volumes this Logical Volume uses is missing from the system. We thought, that the permanent solution is the migration every data (~80 FileSystem) to a new Volume Group (from the vg0 to vg1). It was performed. The old and faulty VG (=Volume Group) (vg0) was not deleted with its LVs (Logical Volume) and PVs (Physical Volume), but these were NOT used or mounted. After it, the error messages disappeared on the SLES11 from the used disks (PVs, LVs also). This was the staus till the new attempt of Linux upgrade. 1 ) After it (on the last week), I started the OS upgrade again. I created a full backup about the Linux OS (SLES 11) to a new disk before the upgrade. (The Linux itself is only on a pure 1 disk (dasd), without LVM. The applications and their data are on LVM managed PVs, LVs, FSs.) 2) The upgrade was very slow and struggle. (The Linux system was useable after 3 reboot, and there was many device(dasd)/lvm/FS error.) In the SLES12 I saw many simlar errror messages: WARNING: Device for PV x5zvM9-l42o-ifVM-zMWC-NgT5-dZ8G-afApuY not found or rejected by a filter. ...

After a new reboot, disappeared every error messages (in SLES 12 SP4, after upgrade). 4 ) At this time, I have checked every filesystem (~80, with fsck), and every filesystem was good. 5 ) I updated the metadata of LVM ( to lvmetad). 6 ) I performed more (~10) boot on this Linux system to test, and I saw similar error messages during every boot: [FAILED] Failed to start LVM2 PV scan on device 94:617.

Re: OCFS2 replacement for SLES ?
Hello all, SUSE has been contributing to OCFS2 since 2005 with significant contributions to the project. OCFS2 is part of the SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension which is free for all paid SLES for System z subscriptions. SUSE supports OCFS2 on all architectures that SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (x86, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and s390x) runs on. SUSE will continue to develop and enhance OCFS2 for all of the architectures including System z. While Oracle has chosen to limit customer choice, there is another vendor supporting OCFS2 on IBM System z: SUSE.

Berry, I would look in the directory that contains the SDK. Check to see if the /suse/noarch has the tomcat rpm in it.

Re: Add repository SLES11 SP1
There is an option in the Software Repository to refresh the content of individual or all installation repos.

Re: SMT client can't suse_register
Hello Marcy, Has registration worked in the past with this SMT server from another server? Can you try a registration from another server? It looks like you are getting a certificate from the SMT server. Where is squid running? I would also look at the /root/.suse_register.log to see if there is any additional messages that may provide a hint. Look at the /etc/suseRegister.conf to confirm that the server that you would like to register is pointing to the correct SMT server. If the suseRegister.conf is pointed correctly then you will be able to rerun suse_register without having to use clientSetup4SMT.sh.

I'm trying to install a software package onto a SLES 11 virtual machine. One option is a tar file, but this software also has a repository compatible with yum and zypper on the Internet. So it would be simple to do a zypper install package. However, that package wants to pull in other RPMs that I believe are included with SLES 11. Because I have not added the base SLES 11 as a repository, zypper cannot find them. So I'd like to do the Add Repository command zypper ar SLES11. But the SLES ISOs don't seem to have a prebuilt repository. So I'd like to do a createrepo SLES11. But I can't seem to find createrepo in SLES 11. So, two questions: 1) How do I create a repo for SLES 11? (it would be nice if I could just create it on the NFS server and export that to all Linuxes) There is a --type option for addrepo which supports multiple install repos. zypper will try to determine the repo type automatically. You could specify yast2 for the install repo format that is on the SLES11 install media. The easiest way to do add a SLES11 install repo is to use YAST | Software | Software Repositories | Add but it sounds like you want do this via command line. 2) Could I also be using yum instead of zypper so that I could use the same tool that RHEL uses? Two problems that I see. 1) Yum is not part of the SLES11 install media. 2) You would have to build a yum repo of the SLES11 install media. Mike Friesenegger Thanks.

Re: Run a script at boot time
Yes, you will need to provide the path to java. I am not a java expert but you may also need to specify the classpath for java to find com.ibm.keymanager.EKMLaunch.

Re: SUSER Linux Enterprise Mono - Any Experience?
The Mono Migration Analyzer (MoMA) is a utility that has been created to analyze .NET code and point out specific functions and calls that are not supported by Mono - http://www.mono-project.com/Moma . You run MoMA on a Windows machine and point it at the ASP.NET assemblies directory. MoMA will inspect the .exe and .dll files and generate a report which the developers can review. Mono is up to 2.6 in the community and Moma contains the definitions for 2.6. You will want to download the 2.4 definitions file because the Mono Extension is currently based on the 2.4 version of Mono. Please reach out to me off list if you have additional questions.

Re: SLES 11 software updates
Hello Frank, To add an update repository you must register SLES. YAST provides an interface for taking care of the registration or you can use the CLI. In YAST, got to Support | Novell Customer Center Configuration. My preference is to use the suse_register command. suse_register -h to see an example. In both cases, you will need a registration code. With the regcode, you will be able to get the updates as a 180-day eval or when you purchase the SLES subscription. The regcode is either mailed to you or available via the Novell Customer Center - http://www.novell.com/center .

Re: Problem with EVMS on SLES 10 SP2+ at boot
Hello Kevin, I recommend that you stop using EVMS and start using LVM2. The direction with SLE11 and going forward is to use LVM2 as the logical volume manager and cLVM2 as the clustered filesystem aware volume manager. You will not need to reinstall SLES10, LVM will be able to see the LVM LVs which are just contained within EVMS.

Re: Where to download RHEL SLES images for s390
Hello, You can go to http://www.novell.com/products/server/eval.html and select the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 for IBM System z link to download the installation media. You will be prompted to create a Novell account after selecting this link. I suggest using the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Starter System for System z, http://www.novell.com/partners/ibm/mainframe/starterpack.html , if your testing will be done using z/VM. The starter system is a prebuilt installation server image that can be restored into your z/VM system using CMS tools. This means you will not need to create a separate installation server on a Linux or UNIX system.

Re: ZEN and zLinux
The first several iterations of the zmd agent were resource hogs. Novell engineering has done work on this to make this better in ZLM7.2 although I have not tested this on z. There is no interaction between ZLM and z/VM. An agent is installed on each SLES instance which then will look to the ZLM server for package management.
