Re: LNXADMIN as IDENTITY

No - you will have to copy the disk yourself. These are meant to be completely different disks - they won't be synced for you. The LNXADMIN on each SSI member needs it's own R/W disks. Scott Rohling On Fri, Jul 10, 2015 at 6:33 AM, Tito Garrido titogarr...@gmail.com wrote: Thank Berthold

Also - what are you using for the backend? From a wiki: *rdp* is a daemon that supports Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol (RDP). It uses Xvnc or X11rdp as a backend. Scott Rohling On Thu, Jul 2, 2015 at 5:56 PM, Scott Rohling scott.rohl

Re: Problems with SCSI-over-FCP after machine upgrade

Use SET EDEV commands to delete all the paths defined over the FCP subchannels... Then use SET EDEV to define them all back when done.. A simple EXEC to do one or the other or both will save your fingers if you need to do this more then once. Scott Rohling On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 2:07 PM, kwg

Re: Problems with SCSI-over-FCP after machine upgrade

/DELETE EDEVICE --- but I'm fairly sure that with SET EDEV DELETE PATH and CLEAR --- and conversely, ADD PATH ... you should be able to release the subchannels without necessarily redefining the EDEVICE and just dealing with the paths. On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 2:13 PM, Scott Rohling scott.rohl

I think Marcy's point is that if you can't think of the last time you booted Linux (or z/VM) -- then you're probably very behind on things like security and bug fixes... Scott Rohling On Thu, May 28, 2015 at 5:37 AM, Mark Pace pacemainl...@gmail.com wrote: I IPL z/VM only when CP maintenance

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, Tom duerbus...@stlouis-mo.gov wrote
