Yes, I was able to bring up a second zLinux instance to recover from...after disabling al of the crontabs. Now I'm at the point of recovering the actual data. I'm trying to use rsync, but since this is going to the temporary zLinux to the production, I'm a bit concerned with the output.
I'm performing "--dry-run", but it seems to be listing every single file (although the date/time and size of the files are the same. #!/bin/sh # Switches: a # v - Verbose # z - Compress # r - Recursive # l - Links (copy symliinks as symlinks) # p - Perms (preserve permissions) # o - Owner ( Preserver owner-super-user only) # t - Times (preserve modification times) # n - --dry-run (perform a dry run with no changes made) # i - --itemize-changes (output a change-summary for all updates) rsync -avzrni --ignore-existing /home/framaekers [email protected]:/home/framaekers Abbreviated output: cd+++++++++ framaekers/ <f+++++++++ framaekers/.bash_history <f+++++++++ framaekers/.bash_logout <f+++++++++ framaekers/.bash_profile <f+++++++++ framaekers/.bashrc <f+++++++++ framaekers/.forward <f+++++++++ framaekers/.lesshst <f+++++++++ framaekers/.procmailrc <f+++++++++ framaekers/.viminfo <f+++++++++ framaekers/Base6.2.0_20_01_09.pdf … Source: drwx------. 10 framaekers framaekers 4.0K Apr 9 2020 . drwxr-xr-x. 17 root root 4.0K Jan 17 2020 .. -rw-------. 1 framaekers framaekers 6.5K Jul 23 14:05 .bash_history -rw-r--r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 18 Sep 16 2017 .bash_logout -rw-r--r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 193 Sep 16 2017 .bash_profile -rw-r--r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 231 Sep 16 2017 .bashrc drwxrwxr-x. 3 framaekers framaekers 4.0K May 22 2018 .cache drwxrwxr-x. 3 framaekers framaekers 4.0K May 22 2018 .config -rw-rw-r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 15 Nov 27 2018 .forward -rw-------. 1 framaekers framaekers 43 Apr 9 2020 .lesshst drwxr-xr-x. 4 framaekers framaekers 4.0K May 22 2018 .mozilla -rw-rw-r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 191 Nov 27 2018 .procmailrc -rw-------. 1 framaekers framaekers 4.6K Apr 9 2020 .viminfo -rw-r--r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 8.9K Apr 8 2020 Base6.2.0_20_01_09.pdf … Destination: drwx------. 10 framaekers framaekers 4.0K Apr 9 2020 . drwxr-xr-x. 16 root root 4.0K Jul 23 13:34 .. -rw-------. 1 framaekers framaekers 6.7K Jul 23 14:05 .bash_history -rw-r--r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 18 Sep 16 2017 .bash_logout -rw-r--r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 193 Sep 16 2017 .bash_profile -rw-r--r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 231 Sep 16 2017 .bashrc drwxrwxr-x. 3 framaekers framaekers 4.0K May 22 2018 .cache drwxrwxr-x. 3 framaekers framaekers 4.0K May 22 2018 .config -rw-rw-r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 15 Nov 27 2018 .forward -rw-------. 1 framaekers framaekers 43 Apr 9 2020 .lesshst drwxr-xr-x. 4 framaekers framaekers 4.0K May 22 2018 .mozilla -rw-rw-r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 191 Nov 27 2018 .procmailrc -rw-------. 1 framaekers framaekers 4.6K Apr 9 2020 .viminfo -rw-r--r--. 1 framaekers framaekers 8.9K Apr 8 2020 Base6.2.0_20_01_09.pdf … I don’t know why it lists these (and other) files that haven’t changes?

External Message – Think Before You Click It's been a while but as far as I remember in redhat (clefos should be similar), for single user mode (so no network) you can do a "#cp vi vmsg" combo. When the zipl screen shows up you have a few seconds to type in your choice with additional kernel parameters. So you can do for example #cp vi vmsg 0 1 (0 for first choice from the list and 1 for single user mode). If you feel that single user mode is not good for your task, then I am sure there are other options you could use via "vi vmsg" (BTW, the "vi" at this point has nothing to do with linux vi program. it stands for "virtual input" AFIK). But sounds like this should work just fine for you. After you get into the single user mode, sed is a good option to do what you want Changing IP address with sed in the ifcfg script is pretty easy. For example sed -i 's/10.15.15.7/10.25.25.8/' ./ifcfg-filename without "-i" it would just print what it would do without saving "s" is for "substitute" and then you have a string you want to change and your destination string Other thoughts Can you just link that minidisk to another running zlinux, bring it online, mount it and get whatever you want or even update that icfg script at that point? That's what I usually do. It might get slightly more difficult if you have the same root VG name everywhere but there are workarounds for tha too. Also, sometimes when I work with a clone and I want to change the IP address so it doesn't mess anything already live, I would boot it without a network interface being coupled to a virtual switch. Then I would update the network scripts (with sed since ssh of course would not be available). thanks Gregory On Thu, Jul 22, 2021 at 8:55 AM Frank M.
