Hi all. Is there anybody using vmur for communication, implemented by any scripts or similiar ?
We would like to use disks owned by a non-booting z/VM userid that one out of two zLinux machines can LINK to in write mode. It's used to get one filesystem accessible from any of two servers to get redundancy/failover/you-know-what-I-mean :) The two linux machines is in two separate z/VM systems - z10 boxes - computer-halls and the disk used here is shared. z/VM also controls that only one at a time can LINK to the disk in Write mode. ACF2 rules determine who can LINK to the disk (Yes we have ACF2 even in z/VM) I already have to scripts doing the LINK x x x W, dasd_configure .... 1 1, mount and the opposite: umount, dasd_configure .... 0 0, DET works nice, but we also need some automatic switching, and using vmur will get it working despite any network failure. ___________________________________________ Tore Agblad Volvo Information Technology Infrastructure Mainframe Design & Development, Linux servers Dept 4352 DA1S SE-405 08, Gothenburg Sweden Telephone: +46-31-3233569 E-mail: [email protected] http://www.volvo.com/volvoit/global/en-gb/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
