AW: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - installing problems
Hello, I had the same problem with unresolved symbolic links when I used a WinXP based FTP-Server. It looks like windows will see symbolic links as files with zero bytes. My solution was the installation of the VMWARE-Player. Then I downloaded a linux-image that was ready to run with the VMWARE-Player. The linux based ftp-server worked great for my installation purposes. kind regards Horst Rempel -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] Im Auftrag von Bern VK2KAD Gesendet: Dienstag, 7.

I copied the iso to a USB thumb drive which found a home at H: - I then mapped an E: drive from the ISO using a free Mount'n'Drive manager from DAEMON tools lite. The iso contents are successfully shown on the E: drive but the symbolic links just look like empty datasets - a 0KB file. I then tried a linux ftp server called vsftpd which I installed using apt-get.Everyting looks fine - ftp'ing into the ftp server gives the expected results and the install tree looks correct and the symbolic links actually work. Unfortunately, when I try to connect to this server via the RedHat installer, all I get on the log is Couldn't connect to server My next attempt is work out how to create a NFS connection - more reading needed.

Windows Vista is the first version of Windows to include support for symbolic links in NTFS. Hopefully MS added the support to the CD/DVD drivers as well.

Hobbit problem with bbtest
Hello everybody, Since 7 month I use hobbit to observe the availability of our VSE, VM and Linux systems running on the z9. The hobbit-server 4.2.0 is running in sles10 sp2. Everything worked well until last friday. In the Current Staus screen the icons for bbd, bbtest, http and the complete conn column changed from green to purple (no report). After a system reboot everything seems to be ok again because all icons were green. But after some time the problem was back, the icons for bbd, bbtest, http and the complete conn column changed from green to purple (no report). When I log on to hobbit and run 'bbtest-net' manually all purple icons change to green except the bbtest icon (still purple). After a while the already mentioned icon will change to purple again. So it looks to me that bbtest-net will not restart after the interval of 600 sec. But why ? I cannot see any errormessage. There is enough space in the filesystem. My colleagues promissed me, that they have nothing changed. I have no idea what happended. Every hint is appreciated. kind regards Horst Rempel -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390

Issue df -i to check. I will run into this problem occasionally, even though the filesystem looks good otherwise. The Hobbit mailing list and archive will also be a good source for debugging this. I might suggest taking this question there. Rempel, Horst wrote: Hello everybody, Since 7 month I use hobbit to observe the availability of our VSE, VM and Linux systems running on the z9.

AW: Good editor for under the 3270 console interface
Hello Tom, since I have z/VM 5.4.0 running on our z9 I prefer to use the SYSASCII console. SYSASCII is a JAVA emulation for a ASCII console. You can use VI editor to change files, YAST to customize your linux and Ctrl+C. I really like this possibility. I do 'attach sysa to lx100', then start the SYSASCII on the HMC, and press enter. After that I see the lx100 login screen. And this works without any active networkadapter in the linux. kind regards, mit freundlichen Grüßen, Horst Rempel BG-Chemie Germany -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] Im Auftrag von Tom Duerbusch Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28.

What is a good line mode editor? I thought VI or VIM would be, but you need an ESC key, plus when you vi a member, it streams the member out to the console. And, of course, the cursor commands H, J, K and L don't really work in this world. I'm looking for options when I bring up the rescue system (sles 10.2).

Linux sles9 felt in coma
Hello, one of our Linux sles9 SP4 DB2 databaseservers running under z/VM 5.3.0 RSU0801 felt yesterday afternoon in a kind of coma. The linux stopped running. The putty-session got an timeout. I was no longer able to ping. The processor for this lpar was only 20% busy for other linux guests at this time. After that I tried to logon directly to the green screen. But I only got a black screen with LOGON LX004 at the top. The ind user lx004 shows no I/Os, no cpu consumtion. The performance toolkit displayed only zeros for this LX004. After force/xautolog LX004 everything worked fine again. Looking in the linux logs gave no hint what lead to the coma situation. There is enough space free in the filesystems. I have no idea what happened yesterday. Has anybody an idea ? What can I do if the situation come back again ?
