smcli is supported two ways:
   If you use it as part of the CMA that's shipped with z/VM, then we
   support it via the normal z/VM support process (PMRs, APARs, etc).
   If you get it from the open source community, then it's supported via
   that community.  You can use github issues to open problems, contribute

Re: Linux SMAPI wrappers

2017-05-22 Thread Emily K Hugenbruch


Hi,
Although I responded to Mike directly, reposting here for the listserv's
benefit with some extra information:

smcli is supported.  We ship it as part of our z/VM Cloud Manager
Appliance, so it's supported that way.  It's also supported via open
source, it could be separated from the rest of the zHCP code and run
standalone.  We even have a wiki that explains exactly how to do this
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/W21ed5ba0f4a9_46f4_9626_24cbbb86fbb9/page/Using%20the%20zHCP%20code%20without%20CMA

Anyone is welcome to open Github issues on it
https://github.com/zVMopenstack/zhcp/issues

It can be run with sudo.  The problem originated because it was run once as
root, which created the file that tracks the SMAPI
level: /var/opt/zhcp/smapi.level and then it was run not as root, so that
file is not available.  I did submit a patch
https://review.gerrithub.io/#/c/361193/ to make the error messages easier
to decipher.  We can add a second patch that also makes sure the file name
is put out on every error message (or anyone else can, we're always happy
to review any submissions).

Furthermore, as the newly created project maintainer for the Open Mainframe
Project's Cloudstack for z/VM project, I invite anyone interested in the
topic of cloud and z/VM to join us.  We have weekly calls (we're leaning
towards Fridays at 11 eastern) where you can articulate your requirements
or talk about what you think cloud should look like on z.  If you'd like a
meeting invite please send me an email.  We can also discuss these topics

Subject:Linux SMAPI wrappers
Sent by:Linux on 390 Port 



Hello list,

One way to automate operations (aka do Private Cloud) is to use z/VM's
SMAPI. There are two ways to call 'SMAPIs' from Linux that I know of:
1) The bash smaclient from Sine Nomine (thanks to Leland, et al)
2) The C compiled smcli originating from IBM (thanks to Chuck, Thang,
Emily, et al)

Both are large and helpful pieces of code. However, neither are 'supported'
to my knowledge, but smcli seems to be somewhat 'more supported' in that
I've seen updates to it recently.

We've gotten errors on smaclient of the form "Unable to bind: 98" which
seems to lose connectivity to SMAPI when the CPU utilization is 'high'.

So I'm looking into switching to smcli. It works fine when I run as root,
but everybody knows That's Bad so I try as a non-root and get the error:

# *smcli Image_Query_DM -T VMENG004*

ERROR: File stat error. Errno: 13



ERROR: Unable to determine SMAPI level.


Error number 13 seems to be a generic UNIX/Linux error for "not
authorized".  Does anyone know which files/directories are in question? I
was hoping it would be easy enough to chown/chmod some files or
directories.  Or does anyone know how to use smcli as non-root?

Thanks.
