Expanded Storage Question

2002-11-12 Thread Ann Smith
We are getting a z800 with 8 gig of storage. We will have a regular engine running VM apps that will use 1 gig central, 1 gig expanded. How do we divide up the remaining 6 gig for the LPAR that has the IFL engine dedicated to it? This LPAR is strictly for zVM running LINUX guests. I tried to

Thanks to those who replied. I ended looking at the Archictecture and Scalability paper that I found on kintana.com. It looks like Kintana can use Apache webervers. LINUX/390 can provide these. It looks like it also uses Oracle databases but I'm hoping for the webservers. My boss will be back

Debugger question - gdb?

2002-08-13 Thread Ann Smith
One of my coworkers is having a problem debugging a C program using gdb. For some reason it seems to skip the instruction following an IF statement. At first he thought maybe it was a bug in the debugger since we are still using SUSE 7.0, but he tried debugging the program on a PC running SUSE

Does anyone have the details on the SUN models and IBM mainframe (z800 or z900?) Aren't the z800's the most energy efficient? Jim Elliott wrote: http://www.computerwoche.de/index.cfm?pageid=254artid=38632 Haven't actually seen this one here. 25 Solarises on an IBM large system - 40% less

Re: Mainframe skill shortage

I definitely agree that college level training for LINUX/390 is needed. I've said it before and may sound like a broken record but IBM has to admit that in the past the use of VM at universities lead to many developments and improvements to VM. VM virtual machines seem to be an obvious choice

z800 Storage

A question about dividing up storage on a z800 - what to do with that 8 gig. Do LINUX guests like more expandeed storage or central storage?

Re: What's needed with z/VM?

2002-06-05 Thread Ann Smith
Another two cents. You definitely need RACF. A security package should be a requirement and RACF can be purchased with engine based charging. I am not sure of what CA is charging now for VMSECURE. DIRMAINT is highly recommended- very useful, makes the sysprog's life easier. Also available with

LPRNG null printer

2002-05-30 Thread Ann Smith
We recently installed LPRNG and defined network printers to /etc/printcap. We have SUSE 2.2.16 kernel, Samba 2.0.7 and LPRNG 3.6.12. When we use the Windows Add Printer wizard we see all of the printers we defined in printcap but we also see a null printer ( | ) at the top of the list of printers

s390 rpm file for CUPS?

Linux/390 - Duplex print

2002-04-26 Thread Ann Smith
We've defined our current LAN printers to a Linux/390 guest and can print okay from various apps (Word, Excel, etc.). But I'm having trouble figuring out how to get duplex print. For example, we have an HP 8000 with duplex capability. I'm trying to make the LINUX printer look just the same as the

z/VM 3 and IFL engines - Oh No!

2002-04-22 Thread Ann Smith
Alan Altmark posted that z/VM 3 can't run in IFL engines. This is not good news for us. We are currently running VM on a machine that can't run z/VM 4. We are looking at getting newer machine with an IFL engine. We wanted to do a Linux proof of concept on the new machine, on the IFL to isolate

Re: z/VM 3 and IFL engines - Oh No!

2002-04-22 Thread Ann Smith
Keeping both machines could incur additional software and hardware costs. For now, I just need IBM to verify z/VM 3 really can't run in an IFL. If it really can't, we'll just have to deal with it. Rich Smrcina wrote: Are both machines going to be on the floor together for a while? If so, will

Need a list of companies running LINUX/390

I need a list of some of the companies running LINUX/390. I thought there used to be one off of linuxvm.org (a survey ?) also IBM used to have a list. In particular, I need to know the names of other insurance companies using LINUX/390.

Re: Two More Responses to Sun's FUD Attacks

How many years ago was it that SUN first compared mainframes to dinosaurs? The z800 hase a lot of memory so it is appropriate that they chose the name raptor, since it was a small, smart dinosaur. Only 3 feet tall? But I thought it was really 'velociraptor' but I guess you need Velocity
