I am revisiting this again. I implemented a basevol/guestvol system
similar to what is
described at http://linuxvm.org/present/misc/basevol.html . This has
worked for our SLES 8. We now have SLES9 guest up and running and I am
wondering if we should continue under this methodology. Some say yes, some
say no.
Out intent is to reduce man hours to apply individual maintenance to each
Linux Guest or product. Since SLES9 is different, the basevol/guestvol R/O
scripts do not quite fit. I do not know if this methodology even applies
to SLES 9.
There is also a local YOU server I believe with SLES 9 that Linux guests
can be configured to use for updates. But this means that each Linux guest
must have r/w Linux root file system.
Is there a recommended or official recommendation for maintaining z/VM
Linux colonies? I appreciate any recommendations, philosophies, and/or
experiences. As always, thanks.
Peter
