You could log in to root on the console and echo something to /etc/hosts? No? If you consider David B's suggestion, you might want to implement a pair of them for planned and unplanned outages of that server. Just a thought.

I think the logon timed out before the LDAP call failed, actually. I was able to mount the root dir on a guest that did work and change it so that we had function. Trying to get away from the very real possibility of having IPL'ed sucessfully but being unable to log on because DNS and LDAP are both unavailable. -J Leaning towards David B's suggestion at the moment. -J Marcy Cortes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc 04/24/2007 01:39 PM Subject Re: DNS and Disaster Recovery Please respond to Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> You could put the name of the z/OS system (the one associated with your VIPA there) into your linux /etc/hosts during the test.
