Re: Open Vswitch and SLES12 KVM
Hi Folks! The place that Robert pointed it is correct, but to update it we use a script called qeth_configure (I guess it would be similar to chzdev but for SuSE and network only) So the answer was: qeth_configure -l -o "bridge_role=primary" 1 Thank you!

Open Vswitch and SLES12 KVM
Hi Folks, What is the recommended setup for open vswitch on SLES 12 on z? I can see: https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/book_sle_admin/data/sec_ovs.html But it says nothing about BRIDGEPORT. Where should I put OPTIONS="layer2=1 bridge_role=primary Is "OPTIONS" a recognized option on SuSE?

Re: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Beta for IBM LinuxONE and z Systems
When I tried to install it on a zPDT it complained about my processor (says that it is not supported), is it an zPDT issue or ubuntu is not recognizing the machine type 1090?

IDENTITY users are able to logon to all the systems in the SSI cluster at the same time. They also get their R/W minidisks from the SUBCONFIG instead of the USER section. That means that those minidisks (a) don't have to be on shared DASD, and (b) are NOT PROTECTED from cross-system LINKs. And *that* means that they can logon even if there is an issue with the SSI cluster communications. So the decision of whether to make a guest an IDENTITY or a USER is completely dependent on how you intend to use the guest and its resources.

The recommended mode for DB2's memory management is to run with its automatic memory management feature enabled.

This time only 9 days after primary release. The difference against primary Fedora is smaller than it was in Fedora 20, but we are still missing packages related to nodejs (v8 engine not publicly ported to s390x) or golang (but work is being done on gcc-go, so this should change in the future) and most of ocaml modules (native port would be required). For details see http://fedora.danny.cz/s390/rebuild/koji-compare-f21.txt The links to the actual release are here: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/21/s390x/ or directly at http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/21/Server/s390x/ http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/21/Everything/s390x/os/ Currently Fedora for s390x is available as the Server flavor (refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora.next for more information). The first directory contains the installation tree as well as one DVD ISO with the complete release. There are plans on adding Cloud flavor in the future, but it depends on s390x support in several related projects. Everything as usual contains, well, everything. :) For general Fedora documentation please see http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ and Fedora 21 common bugs are documented at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F21_bugs Additional information about known issues, the current progress and state for future release, where and how the team can be reached and just anything else Fedora on IBM System z related can be found here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/s390x/21 For architecture specific release notes, please read it as there are changes in the interactive installation process. It's a wiki so don't hesitate to add your knowledge there. You can find useful information also in the previous release notes linked from the current ones. More information about Fedora on IBM System z can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/s390x Our team got expanded during the last year so my thanks also go to the other team members and to everyone involved in making this happen!

Re: Automated performance reporting on Linux on Z
If you are going to try SAR take a look on KSAR project... http://sourceforge.net/projects/ksar/ Regards, Tito On Sun, Nov 9, 2014 at 1:30 PM, Barton Robinson bar...@velocitysoftware.com wrote: I just had an installation demonstrate the perfect tool for you. In looking at what alerts should be set for operations, one of their many zlinux servers had a swap full condition. They were able to go back thru reports from last 12 months, took less than a minute to identify when the swap filled up, and what processes were running in the linux server at that time. This was with a full web interface, all automated. There were daily, weekly, monthly reports created for linux, z/vm, network all automatically and easily accessable thru their web interface. If you would like to talk more, or maybe talk to some of the hundreds of installations that run this, that can be arranged.

However, Wave didn’t help is with the problem with the Linux level reporting we currently have. z/VM performance reporter gives us current overall status, but is not very helpful for longer period capacity trending at least from single Linux perspective. Our company’s standard Patrol agents show somewhat twisted and misleading information about Linux on z especially on CPU point of view and this cannot be modified. So…now I’m trying to find out which Linux tool could be used as a good base for this reporting requirement. Nmon seems to be the best candidate so far, haven’t tested SAR yet. Currently I get automated nmon reports from one of our zLinux servers and they generate nice graphs with nmon_analyzer Excel program. However, it’s not very convenient to manually create graphs every day on your laptop…especially when we get reports from several servers in the future. On AIX you can use nmon2rrd which uses rrdtool for conversion. Also there are some nmon2web scripts for AIX. For Linux you can get several nmon web page generators which are often based on rrdtool and you have also couple of viable SAR graph generating options. I have tried to find a good solution for zLinux but so far haven’t been able to fill this automated web page generation gap. To sum this up: - We need a performance reporting tool which can be fully automated via Linux scripting or similar for multiple zLinux instances. As there seems to be several freeware possibilities, we would prefer them. - Currently I have created a routine which creates daily and weekly nmon scripts which are then collected to central zLinux reporting server. - Those nmon files are useful to our maintenance people, but we need also simple graphs to other parties preferably in some picture/html format. - Ideal solution would be some simple way to convert those nmon files to html pages automatically as nmon2rrd does. - One possibility would be to upload those nmon files to some AIX/x64 server and do the conversion there, but it would create extra data transfer and to be honest would be quite embarrassing from zLinux point of view. - Is there any alternative routes to do this or should I try to compile some of these AIX/x64 tools to system z Linux? - We use Redhat 6.4 and z/VM 6.3 Best regards, Mikael Wargh -- 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 -- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ -- Linux User #387870 . _/_õ|__| ..º[ .-.___.-._| . . . . .__( o)__( o).:___ -- 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 -- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
