Newbie question about minumum installation

Hi All, Since some months we are running SuSe Linux Guests under z/VM. For the initial installations I used IBM's redpaper written by Simon Williams about building SLES8 systems under z/VM. This initial installation was not very carefull with DASD space, it took about 2 3390-III volumes. So a

You would think that IBM, owning the Tivoli brand, would direct a few dozen of their programmers to fix the issues that prevent most of us from using TSM on L/390 if for no other reason than to not lose business to other backup vendors. Post, Mark K [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Srinivas, It appears you're 64-bit, from this: (version 2.4.19-3suse-SMP) (s390x) s390x is the 64-bit implementation, s390 is the 32-bit. The directories shown look like mine, and I'm running SLES 8 s390x, too. Regards, --Jim-- James S. Tison Senior Software Engineer TPF Laboratory /

For a rough and ready figure of how big your filesystems should be, you can go back to your minimal system and issue a du against them, e.g. du -h /usr which will at the end of it all give you a Mb size for what the system thinks is contained in /usr. You can then back calculate this to whatever

Srinivas, I'm at a loss. I would say it's time to call in SUSE and IBM to figure out what's going on. Well, perhaps one more thing. What does the I/O definition for this LPAR look like? Are there any devices defined that you don't plan on using? If so, eliminate everything except those

You would think so, wouldn't you? But then that implies that you and I actually think. Apparently the Tivoli folks still believe the mainframe is dead, or some equally foolish mindset. Let's see. Most estimates put the amount of corporate data in the world that resides on mainframes somewhere

Hi Srinivas, Did you dadsfmt and fdasd the volume? I ask because the first 4 bytes at should be C9D7D3F1 (or IPL1), the 4 bytes at 001 should be C9D7D3F2 (or IPL2) and the 4 bytes at 002 should be E5D6D3F1 (or VOL1). That's if your using CDL format. I just ran zipl against a

Before you attempt to move anything, do: shopt -s dotglob from the bash prompt, which will change bash's globbing routine to include those pesky little dotfiles, too. Of course, this presumes you're using the bash shell. --Jim-- James S. Tison Senior Software Engineer TPF Laboratory /
