Re: sles11sp1 install using parmfile

Sergey, I changed parmfile for my system, but i use FTP as an install source: INSTALL=ftp://ibmsys3:xxx@10.1.1.1/image/ Just curious, why did you choose FTP over NFS? I see the error: *** Could not find the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Repository. So the installer can't find the RPMs.

Advice on setting up minidisks

2011-01-13 Thread Ron Foster at Baldor-IS
Hello list, This may have been discussed before... Way back in deep dark ancient history, we used the Redbook to get started with Linux under z/VM. As a result, we carved up our storage subsystem in to a bunch of mod3 drives. We put a few mod 9 drives in the mix. We added drives to a guest

On the new projects I work with, we try to allocate mod-3s and mod-9s to zVM and to Linux filesystem (var, home, usr, etc and so...), and use FCP disks to everything else, like Oracle databases, webserver logs, NFS area, and everything it's supposed to grow a lot in the future. Troubleshooting

Because we were approaching running out of 64K addresses, we're a mainly all mod 27 and 54. 3's are only used for paging basically. 9's for z/VM stuff and some Linux stuff. The issue with larger disks can be queuing on a UCB and that's what PAV solves. We just continue to monitor things to

You are correct, I should've said /root not /. The root cause was I was thinking root when I meant root, not the root. Guess I rooted it (in the Australian sense of the word). On Jan 13, 2011, at 17:43, Mark Post mp...@novell.com wrote: On 1/13/2011 at 05:31 PM, Neale Ferguson
