Re: you server configuration

That's what was in there by 'default' - so I figured at some point that's what got placed in there by online update. I removed the SP2 entry and got it to sync, so it's now only SuSE SLES and SuSE CORE. Is there good doc somewhere on configuring the client on the other systems? I've tried

Looked about my other systems and the presence of the SLES 9 SP 2 stuff in all of them. I'll have to pursue the root cause I've found what appears to be the current problem - Clients are failing to connect to the YOU server - manual navigation is getting a 403 error Apache starters and

I'm prepping for an trial install of Websphere. This is on an IFL. As it turns out, the Websphere trial for Windows and Linux that anyone can down load, the Linux one, which looks like an Intel version, is a common install and is suppose to work for zLinux systems also. Wish it would have said

I take it you mean Websphere AppServer (there's about a hundred things called websphere something or other these days). Even MQ Series has become WebSphere MQ. This is helpful for understanding WAS 6.0 layouts https://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/os/linux/pdf/sharing_webs

Any problems/headaches or other words of advice anyone wishs to share about Websphere on zLinux? 1) Websphere expands to fill all available resources, both human and machine. Plan on it. 2) Make sure you have plenty of contiguous page space. Virtual machines containing WAS tend to be very

CMSDDR-format Linux files. Was: SLES10 Install kernel panic

2006-11-28 Thread Mike Walter
A little late to the party, but... I've been trying to get Novell to make their Novell SuSE distribution available in CMSDDR format. Imagine... 1- your shiny new z/VM system has been installed and you have set up TCPIP and its FTPSERVE server (both come as part of z/VM, nothing else to buy!).

For any newbies, this is great! I spent high two digit hours with trying to install SLES7 with CDs mounted on my PC running WIN/98. When it came time for SLES8, I tried the same and failed. My PC was now XP. Again double digit hours messing with installation. With SLES9, I installed an FTP

I had WebSphere installed and in a basic, non-secured, non-clustered configurartion in less than an hour. Securing it via LDAP to RACF LDAP Backend was exceptionally challenging in version 5 but that methodology has worked goig forward in WAS 6. I expect you'll have relative ease with a WAS 6

What would be even easier Have Novell mount the images on an FTP server. Right? During install, I can specify the IP address of the FTP server. What are the problems in Novell mounting the ISO images and serving them up? 1) Bandwidth -- who pays for transferring that many bits?

Well, the answer to all of these concerns, is the copy that would be on the Novell server, is trimmed to only be a FTP server. i.e. You download the IPL decks. Do a FTP install using NOVELLs ftp site. When it comes up, it may have a script to FTP from the Novell site, the ISO images and mount the
