We support G5 and up. You can also run it -unsupported- on older machines without IEEE fpu but you need to enable the FPU emulation option on kernel build - and the performance will be very limited on math opertaions. You should at least have a G3 machine for this... with kind regards Carsten

Sounds like you need to make a change to your VM SYSTEM CONFIG file (Normally on MAINT CF1 and CF2). First off you need to find a couple of statements like this: /**/ /*Timezone Definitions

The minimum would be a G2 machine. The real requirement is that the system has to be at a microcode level that contains the Halfword Immediate and Relative Branch Feature. Performance on older machines is going to be bordering on abominable, particularly if they don't have an IEEE floating point

You don't, exactly. You set DB2 or DB2 Connect up to talk to a remote system/database, and then make sure your TCP/IP routing sends the traffic over the desired interface. Mark Post -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Melin Sent:

Clocking in z/VM

2004-11-25 Thread Ranga Nathan
The last couple of days I am seeing VM clocking in my MAINT session when I do something trivial like viewing the reader files. One time it even killed the session while trying to view a file in the reader list. I had to log in as operator and 'force' MAINT. I am not sure how to go about tracing

I created /CD1, /CD2 etc. At install time, SuSE prompts for the FTP server details and the directory name. If say you have named it as /CD1, /cdrom2 etc. it should come back to you and ask you to correct. Most of the stuff it installs from are on CD1. The rest of the stuff is installed from YaST.
