Backup and Restore Linux

2004-01-12 Thread Emilio Rodriguez
Hello, We installed Linux (SuSE SLES 2.4.7) running natively on an Lpar, but now we need to backup the image to allow for some hardware swapping. Can anyone point me to a manual that describes how to backup and restore a Linux image? Thank you very much for your assistance, Emilio

[PATCH] s390 2.4.24 typo and missing include

2004-01-12 Thread Samuel S Chessman
The following two patches are needed to get linux 2.4.24 to compile s390 linux. I have not had a chance to ipl to test if 2.4.24 runs but these were necessary to compile. The typo is only discovered if CONFIG_SMP is undefined. Attached README and patch. -- Sam Chessman

Thanks Leland, I hope to get a first-hand look at this in the near future. I've been using VMBACKUP and VMTAPE since the early 1980's and expect BEB to match the high standards of quality set by those products. :) Michael Coffin, VM Systems Programmer Internal Revenue Service - Room 6527

Sam, A question and a comment... Where did you get your kernel source from? I downloaded 2.4.24 from kernel.org, and I don't see drivers/s390/char/hwc_rw.c in it at all. The comment is that the problem with drivers/s390/char/ctrlchar.c has been reported before, and a patch issued for the

For the simpler solution you outlined, is NFS a better way to go than SMB [Samba]? Either will work, but NFS imposes a lot less overhead than SMB. If you anticipate Windows systems needing direct access to the filesystems, then you might consider using SMB, but if not, then the overhead cost

Ah, I just realized that I looked at the source tree _after_ I installed all the IBM patches. The patches delete that set of files at some point. Sorry. I would seriously recommend that you get the IBM patches for 2.4.23, and apply them to your 2.4.24 tree. There's a lot of stuff in there you

I would probably be easier to just re-IPL the system as-is, then from the virtual console, do this: ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig eth0 new.ip.addr netmask aa.bb.cc.dd route add default gw new.df.gw.addr netmask 0.0.0.0 You should then be able to SSH in and use the normal

Relative DASD performance

Has anyone done performance testing that they can share to get numbers on relative performance of the same DASD, accessed under z/Linux, depending on whether it's presented as direct-attached 3390 or FCP SCSI? Basically, my question is, all other things being equal, let's say I have a Shark and I

If you want to use the SUSE source tree, you'll need to manually re-work a number of the IBM patches to go on top of that. SUSE (just like Red Hat) always has patches to the kernel that they add on before shipping it out. This will be a lot of work, but it will ensure that the kernel has
