Re: SLES 11 - Dante server

2014-02-07 Thread Florian Bilek
That is exactly what I meant. This functionality is replaced with
nothing. I checked if squid could be a replacement but that is only an
http proxy. So to my understanding it is a  bad interpretation to
speak from depreciated functionality. Especially in the current
situation where the client part of dante is still part of the
distribution.

Fortunately nowadays making missing functionality on z is not that
complex as it was some years ago. However SLES would decrease very
much of its value when more and more packages have to be created by
the user.

Kind regards,
Florian

 I profess ignorance of the product line and marketing profiles

 offer then.  Perhaps none, I suppose.

 Given that there wasn't a replacement product mentioned in the release notes, 
 I would have to agree.  The phrasing of deprecated functionality versus 
 package would indicate that as well.

ckd device size for DS8300

2014-02-07 Thread Bruce Lightsey
Somewhat off topic - my storage admins are looking at defining the largest 
reasonable CKD device for a DS8300. We currently use Mod-3, 9, 27, and 54 
definitions and would like to know what  is a useful very large size in the 
real world for large, less-heavily-used devices.

We use mostly disks of 65520 cylinders.
Bigger than that and you can't make them non fullpack minidisks and we don't 
want any guests using cyl 0 (label).

You didn't say if you were running VM or not though.

Re: ckd device size for DS8300

2014-02-07 Thread David Boyes
The largest ECKD volume I've seen anyone define was 100G. Most people just give 
up on ECKD disk and use FCP disk for chunks larger than a mod 54 -- too much 
hassle to manage LVM devices to get large contiguous chunks.

2015 (yes, 2015) VM Workshop location Site Survey available for your vote (votes counted June 27, 2014)

2014-02-07 Thread Mike Walter
Cross-posted to Linux-390, IBMVM, and IBM-MAIN discussion lists.

To: VM Workshop attendees and those who would *like* to attend

Background:
The VM Workshop is a very inexpensive (registration only $100 each of the last 
3 years, including: all meals, a banquet reception dinner, and a nifty VM 
Workshop polo shirt!), all-volunteer, 2.5 day technical conference held 
annually in June.  It is focused on z/VM, Linux on System z, and support of 
other guest operating systems (e.g. z/OS, z/VSE).  For more info, see: 
http://www.vmworkshop.org

Your opportunity to influence the next workshop site:
Were the locations of the latest three revived VM Workshops, and the previous 
workshop era sites unsuitable for your attendance?  Do you have your own ideas 
for other VM Workshop locations that would encourage your attendance?  Well... 
you now have a vote in future site selection!

To submit your vote, please visit:  http://www.vmworkshop.org/node/351

The text before the survey describes the site selection criteria (cheap, easy 
airport/driving access, central-U.S.) and permits voting for up to two 2015 
sites (the 2014 site is North Carolina AT State U, Greensboro, NC).  The votes 
won't be counted until the evening before the last VM Workshop day, so you can 
change your mind later and vote again - ONLY YOUR MOST RECENT VOTE WILL BE 
COUNTED.  Your votes will be included in the discussion at the closing session.

You are NOT required to be registered with a VM Workshop web site userid to 
vote.  That's the point: permit those who have not attended to have a voice in 
the 2015 site selection -- so they can attend, too.

Mike Walter
On behalf of the VM Workshop Planning Committee
