Greetings, Another newbie joining the list. I was able to hear a number of you speak at the recent Share and found that tremendously helpful. My shop is new both to VM and to Linux. We're running z/VM 4.3 and SuSE SLES 7 for S/390 (2.4.7 kernel, vanilla install off the CD with no other maintenance applied.) Our primary purpose is to create an environment for running WebSphere 4.0.4, although we are also experimenting with DB2 Connect and Tivoli's Policy Director.
My question concerns a problem that occurs sporadically - the Linux guest will just unexpectedly disappear completely and must be re-ipled. In all cases I was the only one logged onto the system - sometimes actively working, sometimes not. We do have runlevel 5 enabled and I do make use of the GUI desktop via Hummingbird's Exceed product. Any suggestions on why this might be happening, what events might trigger it and where I could look for diagnostic information would be appreciated.
