Here is the error message we are getting when expanding one of the lvm root 
directories.  When we try to reboot the server it goes to a disabled wait or 
asking for a root password which it keeps rejecting.  We were able to expand 
the root file system on SLES 12 SP3 with no issues.

One way to do that is to specify "init=/bin/bash" on the IPL command. Of course 
that means you have to do *everything* the system would have done for you 
before it failed. But, if what you need is the biggest hammer you can find, 
that's it.

Re: Quick question on single user mode

2020-03-13 Thread Marcy Cortes
Here's what I have in my notes from when we had issues with SP4 vs new disks

Once you get the rescue system loaded, activate the devices
chzdev -e 0101-01ff
vgscan
if you think you might have an LVM problem and it went inactivate, activate VG 
perhaps (vgchange -ay vgname)

If you need to rewrite zipl or grub and need a chroot environment, I did this
mount /dev/dasda1 /mnt
mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/sys
mount /dev/mapper/system-var /mnt/var
mount /dev/mapper/system-usr /mnt/usr
mount /dev/mapper/system-tmp /mnt/tmp
mount /dev/mapper/system-home /mnt/home
mount /dev/mapper/system-opt /mnt/opt
chroot /mnt /bin/bash
mount -a

Now you can run zipl or grub2install -f  or perhaps passwd change on root

How are you specifying the IPL command and any parameters then? I think
we need to understand how things are supposed to work for you so that we
can better provide assistance.

If you can't get to the console of the guest, then trying to get into
single user mode or anything like that isn't going to help at all. One
possibility might be to try and specify "hvc_iucv=8 console=hvc0
init=/bin/bash" on the command line, and use the terminal server tools
from another guest to get access.

Hello Chris,

If you are on zVM, then Boot SLES into installation mode (from VM reader
using image and parm file). Temp root password and IP is specified in parm
file. Then you connect via ssh, activate dasd, mount and chroot (look into
Sles Admin guide "repair bootloader")

I had the same issue here. As I wrote to you, if you type E on the boot

Do you have current maintenance on LVM and the kernel?   We went through some 
of this shortly after SP4 went in.   We have since received fixes. 

The way we got out of it was pulling out the media and using the rescue system. 
  Have you done that before?

Re: Quick question on single user mode

2020-03-10 Thread Will, Chris
Thanks we are having issues booting a guest and all we see are messages about 
rdsosreport.txt message.  I was hoping that single user mode would bypass the 
enter root password prompt but it does not.  Our root password vault product 
must have not synced properly since I cannot get into the shell to see what the 
issue is.  All started when expanding a SLES 12 SP4 XFS file system that 
contained the /var file system.

If you are running under z/VM, then you can shut down the server, mount the 
root mini-disk to another Linux server, correct the configuration issue and 
restart the server.

Have a broken sles 12 server.  I believe at one point there was an option on 
the "ipl 100" to go into single user mode.  Any help?

On image selection enter e next to the image. You will need to edit the
text (google for it) and you'll be at root only boot. You than can edit any
file needed fix.
