Recommendation on FSTAB Options

As we just upgraded from a z/890 to z/13, I'm also skipping version of SLES. This is SLES 12 SP 3 under z/VM 6.4 with CKD dasd. Back in the old days, say 10 years ago, when you used the default "Device Path" in the FSTAB Options, everything worked. That is, until you move the disk. I know

SYSTEMD and autostarting VSE VTAPE (SUSE 12)

With SUSE 12 SP3, I found that I needed to start converting my startup scripts from using INIT.D to SYSTEMD. While SYSTEMD looks a lot cleaner, INIT.D was working. But it's time to convert. The script to startup VTAPE, as delivered by IBM is: linux91:/opt/IBM/VSEVTAPE # cat run.sh #!/bin/sh #

Re: Having trouble getting started.

You might need more than 256MB of memory. Installation does work with 512MB. The reason for the large memory requirement during installation is the install process creates a ram disk for the starter system. The ram disk is ipl'ed and then you use yast to do the installation/configuration to dasd.

Not any more. I use to run Oracle/VM 6 under VM/SP back in the old days. It didn't run well, as we were limited to 16 MB real and virtual and we had a couple VSE guests in the mix also. But it was an upgrade from when we ran Oracle under VSE/SP. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting On Mon, Feb 13,

Fixing Device ID on LVMs

I got caught this weekend. We were converting from a DS6800 to a DS8884 using metro mirror. This is on Suse 11, pretty much maintained by yast. When I brought up the Linux images, some failed due to "device path" not being specified in the "fstab options". Anyway, we backed out. Now looking at

I didn't want to hijack the original thread so The conclusion on the original thread was that you need to be on a supported release of Suse when you go to a new z13. This involved SSH and I assume crypto hardware. We have been planing to go to a z13 this year. I've said that many times

In the VM directory you don't have a disk 201 defined, so the link fails. Perhaps you do have the disk in the directory, but didn't DIRECTXA the file. Or, the real disk that the minidisk is on, isn't attached to system. In other words, the problem isn't in the VMCP command, it is that the

To split hairs. You don't have to create a CMS user (i.e. in the USER DIRECT or DIRMAINT) in order to ENROLL USER (create a SFS user). Process is: 1. Optionally create a CMS user. 2. Enroll the SFS user which creates the default root directory. 3. Optionally create subdirectories on that

Re: Are weekly z/VM IPLs necessary?

(signalled). Wait for them to come down and then autolog AUTOLOG1/2 or whatever to restart things. 'CP SHUTDOWN' essentially does the above and then brings z/VM down.. so this way you can bring down the guests and not z/VM itself.. Scott Rohling On Wed, May 27, 2015 at 7:55 AM, Duerbusch
