CPUPLUGD or VMRM-CMM or CMMA

2013-06-27 Thread Veencamp, Jonathon D.
Hello list, It's been a few years since I looked at these memory management tools, and back then there were some concerns about the production readiness of CMM or CMMA for prod environments. It looks like CPUPLUGD can also do memory ballooning via CMM? The problem I'm trying to solve is to

CMMA is gone, didn't work right and support was pulled. VMRM does not have proper feedback and is more likely to crash your linux server than help CPUPLUGD - never seen any measured value. Focus on understanding the storage requirements. One of the presentations at the VMWorkshop last week was

As a guy who has some experience with DR (on zOS) I can tell you that if you are having problems getting good codes for a CPU change during a test, the same thing will probably happen if the real thing occurs. Thus, your DR plan should incorporate possible delays while these errant CPU codes

A whitepaper was published about a year ago about the updates to cpuplugd. It can be found at http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP102139 I believe you would need SLES 11 for the updated cpuplugd. I don't think the updates are available in SLES 10. On Thu, Jun 27, 2013

Hi Ron, You can set both CPU and model. CPU serial can be set with a command or within the directory entry for the guest. If you also want to set the CPU model you need to modify the storage address within the VMDBK that contains the CPU model for a guest. But some products query the model in a

Has anyone else run into this? We were running RHEL 6.2 on s390x (z/VM 6.2, actually) with no problems, but the same kickstart modified to point to the RHEL 6.4 ISO seems to ignore the clearpart --initlabel --all/zerombr lines. We have a standard (small) zlinux build that was defined in the

I was never much enamoured with the original cpuplugd - and my customer response to testing it was less than enthusiastic. This, however, looks more interesting. Now to see if I can convince the customer to retest using it (R/H 6.4). Shane ... On Fri, Jun 28th, 2013 at 1:12 AM, Bruce Hayden
