Hello, We currently run Linux under VM (2.4.0) in LPAR on S390 G6 processor. When we issue 'HOSTID - V' cmd we get a hex and a decimal value returned. Can anyone tell us what this value means or is taken from ? We use virtual ctcs from Linux virtual machines to an OS390 gateway TCPIP stack and we do not have a mac address which Linux running on an Intel for example returns as the Hostid value. See example below of cmd issued on Linux in a virtual machine.:-
hostid -v Hostid is 134881268 (0x80a1ff4) Thanks, Eric Lawler. Eric Lawler, Infrastructure Support (Platforms), Barclays Enable, Ground Floor (A7), Block 10, Radbroke Hall, WA16 9EU (M).
