You left out the the essential information: how much real do you have in the partition? Linux engines tend to use in real what you give them as Vsize. So if sum(Vsizes) available real, you are going to page whatever you do. Also, do you have xstore defined? If not the paging may be simply due to moves of real pages 2G to 2G. When there is no xstore CP has to do it via dasd paging. So what to do: - define some xstore if not yet defined for move around the bar. - shrink the total Vsize to something in range of the available real. - ensure you have ample paging packs. If you have only the two shown above that will probably not be enough. I myself routinely run ~300-400 pages/sec over 16 3390-3.

Re: Notes 6.5.2 for zSeries. Can anyone help me?
I can not add much to what Pieter already explained. When you expect these virtual machines to be active at the same time, you should have at least 3-4 GB in z/VM. If you don't have that, then you need to make the virtual machines smaller (and give more VDISK in return). If z/VM has that much memory, then you may indeed suffer from contention under the bar. For a short experiment you could see whether things improve when you enable MDC in main memory, and disable it in expanded storage (if you have that). One additional thing to look at is block paging. If you are short on page space then VM can not find optimal free slots and your paging will be inefficient. It would be good to look at the actual page rates as well. Also notice there is a link to the 2nd disk - you don't have other data mixed with the page allocation, have you?

Re: Betr.: Notes 6.5.2 for zSeries. Can anyone help me?
I would decrease the memroy for the linux (from 1024 to 512 mb) and use a vdisk as swap-space (512 mb). Then use xstorage for zvm-paging. Do monitoring (performance and memory utilization with vmstat/sar). If possible decrease the memory-size swap-space for the linux-guest. Use fcon/esa for monitoring too. Your linux will page into the fast zvm vdisk. This should be no problem and is much better then using dasd as swap storage.

Your linux will page into the fast zvm vdisk. This should be no problem and is much better then using dasd as swap storage. If you can spare the real to back those vdisks. If you are real constrained already it won't help you much. You may be better of by swapping to real disks in that case.

Dynamically adding DASD...
I'm missing some minor key point in this process... I allocated a new minidisk for a Linux image (SuSE SLES 8), and linked it into the virtual machine. I've tried CMS formatting it and not formatting it, and it appears to have the same problem. I go to /proc/dasd, and issue the command echo add devices range=491 devices. Then I type cat devices and where I expected to see the new device is a line such as: None(none) at ( 94: 24) is dasdg (ro): unknown If I now add the device into zipl, and restart the image, the disk will be there w/ no problems. What am I doing wrong in the dynamic allocation? -- Robert P.

Re: smbmount question
Hi Istvan, I don't know whether your system will need a new kernel and know nothing of patching and make-ing one. My SLES8 kernel is 2.4.21-251. And I don't know the implications of not having fs/cifs in the source. I do see now on my system lsmod doesn't list cifs until after I do a mount.cifs. To use mount.cifs I didn't have to change anything on the winxp servers, I didn't have to change my linux kernel, I downloaded the mount.cifs.c, did make mount.cifs, read the mount.cifs man page for the parameters syntax and it worked first time I tried.

May I patch it with Latest 2.4 Release (gz containing cifs vfs source files and patch for kernel makefile and configure) from the url http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html, or is it a better idea to compile a new 2.4.21 kernel?

My IBM Suse SLES8 support said its due to a known bug in SMB on the Win-side, not a Linux bug. Suggested I use cifs (common internet file system) which is replacing smb. Cifs is already built into winxp and uses same ports as smb. Cifs solved my problem, might solve yours. Instead of smbmount's I do mount.cifs mount.cifs command is the samba mount utility for the cifs filesystem, the replacement for smbfs. SLES8 kernel supports cifs but doesn't have the mount.cifs command yet. You don't need to run samba to use mount.cifs. On my SLES8, doing lsmod listed cifs as a loaded kernel module.

I think you should contact your McData rep and see if they can give it a look or dial in to the switch. The switches seem to operate in a layer above the FCP protocol, so each port needs to know it is connecting to FICON or FCP.

Re: z800 Shark 750 McData 3232 zVM 4.3 Ficon Problems
Well: I have the disk (FCP from switch and FICON directly attached) and the tape (FCP from switch) working well. I will take a look at the recomendation to talk with mcdata people. I've heard about the port displacement (0 is 4) but we did no tried that. And we did a CHPID off and ON using zvm not from HMC, so I can't say if this would help but it will be nice to try. All the chpids, links, etc, were ok from the zvm, z800, mcdata and shark but the logical path is off for all dasds when the shark and z800 are connected to switch. We are using the devices now and it will be quite difficult to do some changes in the configuration now. Maybe at the beggining of the 2005.

mono 1.1.3 for SLES9 (.NET for zSeries)
The 1.1.3 version of Mono (the .NET infrastructure for Open Systems) is available at http://mono-project.com/downloads. This has been built for SLES9 (it uses the new pthread library). This drop includes the Just In Time (JIT) compiler. If you decide to install mono-web-1.1.3-1.ximian.0.1.s390.rpm then use --nodeps as I made a mistake with the spec file. In addition to all the mono_ RPMS there is mod_mono which allows you to serve .aspx etc. from Apache. I am attempting to build RPMs for SLES8 when I get some spare time. Note, however, you need to be on a z8xx or z9xx to use the JIT as it uses the long relative instructions (e.g. LARL). I'm not sure if Hercules or FLEX support these instructions though I suspect they do.

Randy, I'm leading a group of students working some z/VM / Linux related projects at Clarkson University. Our flagship project webpage is located at: http://www.clarkson.edu/projects/cosi/zTeam/zvmgui/ We currently run a 2066-OLF with 1 CP and 8 GB of memory. We normally have 5-10 Linux images up and running, but we have had Linux on zSeries install days where a lab of 20-30 people were all installing RedHat (at the same time) to different guests. The performance during the installs was definitely acceptable. There have been talks of using z/VM guests running Linux for our operating systems class. Students are required to make Linux kernel modifications as part of a project for this class. Until now we have been using VMWare for this. -- Jason J.

Re: vncserver/vncclient
I use screen a lot, and it is very nice indeed. (It's also one of the Slack/390 packages I build.) Whoever wrote it, deserves a reward. One of the cool things you can do with it is share an SSH session with someone else so they can see exactly what you're doing, or they can let them do some of the typing. Great for demonstrations, or showing someone exactly how an error is getting generated, etc. Or, its a way for the system administrator to see just what a user is doing to generate an error. Probably the more likely case. :) As far as the occasional product that seems to think it absolutely has to install that way, if you have X forwarding turned on in your sshd_config file, and your SSH client supports it, you do _not_ have to run X or VNC on the system where you're doing the install. It all gets tunneled back to your desktop where you will need some kind of X server running (Exceed, X-Win32, Cygwin, etc.). This consumes the least amount of CPU and network resources, because only the one application is running. VNC is only necessary if for some reason you need some kind of desktop/window manager running on the actual Linux system. I haven't run into that need yet. I doubt I ever will.

Re: SuSE SLES8 and z/VM 5.1 problem
You say you're not able to boot SLES8 from the virtual reader, but then you
say you get all the way through the install, but the writing of the IPL text
fails. That's a little confusing.
I've seen various programs through out bus errors in the past when there
wasn't enough virtual storage on the system. How much virtual storage does
this guest have defined, and which installation method (VNC, SSH, whatever)
are you using?

Subject: SuSE SLES8 and z/VM 5.1 problem
OK, brief history and then my question. We just purchased a z890, moved our
current z/VM 3.1.0 system to the GP and installed z/VM 5.1 on the IFL. I
moved over 2 different flavors of Linux (Debian and Redhat) to the IFL and
they work great. With the purchase of our new box we received SuSE
licensing.
Here's my question:
I'm able to bring SuSE SLES8 up on z/VM 3.1 and it works fine. I'm able to
move the instance to the z/VM 5.1 system and it works fine there. What I'm
not able to do is boot SLES8 from the reader on z/VM 5.1. I go through most
of the install process in YAST right up to the point of Prepare system for
initial boot. It won't write out the IPL records to my boot disk. I receive
the below error on the VM console and I end up with an non-IPL'able disk on
VM. When I look at it with DDR, I don't see the first 2 IPL records that I
see on other Linux boot disks.

Has anyone seen this before? I've tried writing to 3380, 3390 and 9336
disks. I've tried formatting them in VM, in Linux, on the 3.1 system, all to
no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One last note, the
interruption code changes depending (I think) on which type of device I'm
trying to write too.

Re: Warning - SLES8 DHCP Server now needs fake_ll
