Our co figuration is much like yours on a single server. It take about 30
minutes to install centos and zpdt. The mainframe is on different disks so
nothing was lost.
My concern is the ability of the vendor to fix the problem. It is
unblievable that it takes more than a month so far.

If you cannot back out the recent updates that caused you to end up with
this problem,  re-install the version RHEL that last worked.  This assumes
that you have used the practice of making sure that none of you zPDT stuff
is in distribution directories.  We have a much more complex zPDT
environment than most but my main tech had the environment back up in about
8 hours without loss of anything in zPDT, z/VM, multiple z/OS Guests and
zLinux guests.  The recovery had to be done on 2 full zPDT systems for
reasons outside of this discussion.

Subject: Re: ZPDT usb issue after lunux update.

Elardus,

zPDT is a mainframe emulation product from IBM that we use. the driving
system is an enterprise Linux flavor. Linux clients that updated the
version for some reason, can't access the license server. versions involved
are rhel 7.X, but I think suse as well.  we use a memory stick to hold the
license.

And, yes, this is a hit.
