How about another spin to this question: Assuming that one has created an LVM2 environment on their zFCP disks, can one then multipath those disks? If so, should one be using the multipath-tools utilities rather than EVMS? Opinions? Robert J Brenneman wrote: Never tried that, but I have a

It came to my attention that multipathing via EVMS was probably not the correct method, rather using the multipath-tools set was. If you are suggesting that it's acceptable to multipath zFCP disks thru the EVMS plugin, can you elaborate with a simple example? Carsten Otte wrote: Tony

SLES-9 on a FLEX-ES system?

Hello list, Has anyone successfully installed SLES-9 on a FLEX-ES system? We have seen at least two instances where the second half of the install process (after IPLing from disk) fails. It seems to be a network issue for which I don't have a lot of details at this point. But I was just

Mark, that was helpful, the make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=3D`pwd` SUBDIRS=3D`pwd` module ran ok with a link from /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8 to /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-s390/build, that allows me to get a module that will force load. The next stumbling block is the dynamic creation of

Mike, We are having the same problem. SuSE support has been unable to figure it out and we have a ticket open with IBM. They didn't have a Flex system so they are setting one up now though it may be a couple of weeks before they get back to us. The problem we experienced was that after the IPL

I have the Redbook on the subject and am trying this. We are at level SP2 on the SLES9 system and the directory layout and files that actually exits on the master system do not match what's mentioned in the Redbook. I tried to 'feel my way around' but the IPL of the clone fails. I suspect my

You need to copy the first two CDs into a common directory and use that as your installation source. The third CD is only source files and is not needed to apply the service pack. I have an existing SLES9 SP1 and trying to install the SP2 update. I down loaded the three ISO files from the SuSE

Exactly. Loop mount the first ISO files and CD to the mount point then do: cp -av * ../xxx. Repeat for the second ISO file. xxx then becomes your installation source. You should update yast2-online-update, yast2-ncurses, and yest2-packagemanager before doing the system update or patch CD update,
