SLES9 - yast - Patch CD Update

2005-12-01 Thread Michael MacIsaac
Hello list, Has anyone gotten the Patch CD Update function to work? We have some vanilla SLES9 images and some at SLES9+SP2. We have a beta (RC2) copy of SP3 which consists of 3 .iso CDs. We want to upgrade some of the images to try out SP3. (1) I mount the CDs loopback and make them available

Mike, I had the same problem applying SP2 to SLES9. It never picked up the 2nd CD. I had to merge the cd's into one cd and point YaST update to the new merged file. After that the Patch Update process worked for SLES9 SP2.

There are a couple of very good performance monitors available for z/VM that will be able to tell you what is happening at the Linux level. If you are going to deploy Linux for zSeries in a big way, it is suggested to acquire a performance monitor so that you can detect these problems easily.

NFS will not descend through mountpoints of other filesystems. If you create a directory, say /media/patchCDs, and create directories CD1 and CD2 within the first directory and mount your ISOs there, and then share /media/patchCDs via NFS, you won't be able to see the contents of CD1 or CD2 on

I have always recommended that people _not_ use LVM for their root file system. Use it for /tmp, /var, /usr, /home, /opt, but never /. Your experience is another example of why. Mark Post -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL

If you're going to make changes/improvements to mksles9root, then I'd like to see a version that doesn't actually copy all the files to disk, but just uses symbolic links pointing to the loopback mounted .iso images. Someone published a similar method for RHEL4:

VSWiTCH on SLES8

2005-12-01 Thread Wolfe, Gordon W
Will SLES8 handle VSWITCH? I've got it working on SLES9-SP2 and I'm going to start converting a lot of servers. How about SLES8? Will it work? What kernel level or SP level do you have to be at if so? Always do right. This will gratify some people and confound the rest. - Mark Twain Gordon

Most of our SLES8 kernel levels are 2.4.21-231 (I don't know what service pack that is) and they work just fine with the Vswitch. Wolfe, Gordon W wrote: Will SLES8 handle VSWITCH? I've got it working on SLES9-SP2 and I'm going to start converting a lot of servers. How about SLES8? Will it
