Re: What is the maximum amount of memory supported by SLES10
Hello Ron, I guess the theoretical limit amount of memory supported by the Linux kernel is 4TB, but I guess each vendor (Suse or Red Hat) has the amount that was tested and is currently supported by them. From the Suse website the max amount of theoretical memory is 4TB but only 250GB is supported by them as the URL shows: http://www.suse.com/products/systemz/technical-information/#Kernel I do know that Red Hat Enterprise Linux supports up 3TB of memory (supported by Red Hat Inc,) as this URL mention: http://www.redhat.com/resourcelibrary/articles/articles-red-hat-enterprise-linux-6-technology-capabilities-and-limits Filipe Miranda Linux on System z On 10/08/2012, at 17:58, Ron Foster wrote: > virtual machine be created before they will work on the problem. -- 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/
Re: RHEL 6.2 will not IPL
Michael,
I think you best shot for now is to start RHEL in init 1 or Single user mode,
and put SELinux in permissive mode.
If it works, probably RACF is not behaving well with SELinux.
If you need help with that, let me know,

Re: IBM V7000 & Thin Provisioning & btrfs on RH
Hello Lee, From the technical notes for the 6.3 https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/6.3_Technical_Notes/index.html#storage_and_fs_tp Btrfs, BZ#614121 Btrfs is under development as a file system capable of addressing and managing more files, larger files, and larger volumes than the ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems. Btrfs is designed to make the file system tolerant of errors, and to facilitate the detection and repair of errors when they occur. It uses checksums to ensure the validity of data and metadata, and maintains snapshots of the file system that can be used for backup or repair. The Btrfs Technology Preview is only available on AMD64 and Intel 64 architectures. Btrfs is still experimental Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 includes Btrfs as a technology preview to allow you to experiment with this file system. You should not choose Btrfs for partitions that will contain valuable data or that are essential for the operation of important systems. Package: btrfs-progs-0.19-12 More info on btrfs: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/techbriefs/introduction-btrfs I will find out more info on btrfs for RHEL on System z and get back to you.

Re: RHEL 6.3 DASD configuration
Hello Larry,
I tried a few times the Text Only installation method just to make sure and if
you can't get X Windows or VNC to work, I suggest a installation using a
kickstart file - using kickstart you can setup the partition method that you
want and have an unattended installation of the OS.
The Text Only installation mode won't let you define the disks as you mentioned
(at least during my tests it did not let me do it)
About VNC:
How did you setup your PARM file?
vnc vncpassword= mpath (does it look like this at the end?)
also when it asks you to connect via ssh, did you use the ssh -x install@IP
("-x") ?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 is now available - check the specific features for System z
. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 now supports SCAP 1.2. System administrators can now define the amount of time that must lapse before an account is considered inactive. This automates locking inactive accounts and closes the gap during which these accounts can be exploited. Productivity Tools Evolution now interoperates better with Microsoft Exchange. Productivity functions such as calendar support with alarm notification and meeting scheduling are improved. Customers such as animation studios and graphic design houses now have support for the newer Wacom Intuos tablets. We greatly appreciate the dedication and collaboration within the company and with our partners and community to develop and deliver the highest quality open source enterprise platform available today.

Re: Expanding disk space.
Hello Tom, If you are installing from scratch, just add as many disks are necessary (3390-9) to the VM that you are trying to install Fedora. During the installation, you will probably have to configure LVM volumes in the disk layout part of the installer to accommodate the the package selection you chose for Fedora.

Re: any good recommendations for an HA tool on zSeries?
Hi Collinson, Sine Nomine's SNA HAO for RHEL on z is basically the Red Hat's source code recompiled for s390x arch, with the addition of the fencing mechanism to interface with z/VM, fully supported by Sine Nomine (an ISV Red Hat Partner). The SNA HAO offers features like: Fail-over HA, Clustered File System (GFS2) and Load Balancing (ipvs). AFAIK SNA already have customers running the SNA HAO for RHEL on z in production environments, right David? During the event Enterprise2013(http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/enterprise/systemz.html) in Orlando, during the Red Hat's session there will be a live demo of the SNA HAO for RHEL on IBM System z by Neale.

Re: Installing RHEL 7
Mike,
Use this as an example:
> ro ramdisk_size=4 cio_ignore=all,!condev
> ip=10.16.105.69::10.16.111.254:21:train6.redhat.com:enccw0.0.0600:none
> rd.znet=qeth,0.0.0600,0.0.0601,0.0.0602,layer2=0,portname=FOOBAR

> rd.dasd=0.0.0100 rd.dasd=0.0.0101
> inst.repo=http://10.13.145.5/rhel7_s390/ or
> inst.repo=nfs:[options:]server:/path
> vnc vncpassword=redhat
Where:
The documentation explains the semantics of all the bits and pieces:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/chap-anaconda-boot-options.html#list-boot-options-network
The upstream docs might explain the double colon, which is just an
optional "peer" option that is not needed in our case:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/dracut/dracut.html#_network
"ip=:[]
:{none|off|dhcp|on|any|dhcp6|auto6|ibft}:[:[][:]]
"
or
"ip=:[]
:{none|off|dhcp|on|any|dhcp6|auto6|ibft}[:[][:]] "
" is optional and is the address of the remote endpoint for
pointopoint interfaces"
If one does not follow the ip= syntax to the very last detail, it just
fails (or falls back to dhcp) without helpful user message [see more
recent pre-validation comments of bug 1070104].
or
Try Neale suggestion - it also worked :-)
Kind Regards,
Filipe

Re: Custom Layout
Hi Matt,
To create an LVM volume is quite simple:
1) First you need to set the partition or disk as a Physical Device for the LVM
2) Then you have to create a Volume Group
3) Create the Logical Volumes that will be part of the Volume Group
More information can be found here:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Logical_Volume_Manager_Administration/
<https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Logical_Volume_Manager_Administration/>
Page 106 from this guide shows how to create a custom layout:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/pdf/Installation_Guide/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-6-Installation_Guide-en-US.pdf
<https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/pdf/Installation_Guide/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-6-Installation_Guide-en-US.pdf>
Its the same on all platforms.
Thank you,
Kind Regards,

Re: Linux 7.1 on z/VM 6.3
Hello, RHEL7.x can use the same “installation style” (parm file and conf file) as before with a few minor changes (keep in mind that this will be deprecated in the future), or the new “installation layout” (just the parm file). The following slide deck shows examples of how the new parm file should look like: http://people.redhat.com/fmiranda/systemz/slide_decks/Special%20Events/IBM%20T3%20Bobligen%20Germany%202015%20v2.pdf <http://people.redhat.com/fmiranda/systemz/slide_decks/Special%20Events/IBM%20T3%20Bobligen%20Germany%202015%20v2.pdf> Kind Regards, Filipe Miranda fmira...@redhat.com > On Jul 17, 2015, at 7:17 AM, Grzegorz Powiedziuk > wrote: > > 2015-07-17 9:55 GMT-04:00 Beard, Rick (Atos) : > >> Gregory, >> >> Looks like your using the kick start method to install.

Re: Linux 7.1 on z/VM 6.3
Rick, Could you send us the complete parm file ? Are you installing on ECKD or FCP? Were the disks used for this Linux install in use before or are they brand new? Maybe something old from a previous use of the disk is causing some weird behave by the installer, have you tried to low format the disks from a terminal and then tried the installation again? I haven' t seem any issues like that on RHEL 7.x.

Re: Linux 7.1 on z/VM 6.3
Hello Rick, Everything seems to be in order on that PARM file. The only option I haven’t tried yet from this PARM is to force the resolution by using the inst.resolution=1024x768 parameter, but I’m not sure if that maybe causing some weird behavior by the VNC client/server piece. I know it sounds silly, but could you try with the following PARM file: ro ramdisk_size=4 cio_ignore=all,!condev ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:22:lnxmnt71.marriott.com:enccw0.0.0500:none rd.znet=qeth,0.0.0500,0.0.0501,0.0.0502,layer2=0 nameserver=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx rd.dasd=0.0.0200 rd.dasd=0.0.0300 rd.dasd=0.0.0301 inst.vnc inst.vncpassword= inst.repo=nfs:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/var/opt/rhel71 if that fails again, does the installer gives you any hint of what might have happened? Are you able to get a shell access ?

Re: Linux 7.1 on z/VM 6.3 - standard files
Hi Raymond, INITRD.IMG, KERNEL.IMG, GENERIC.PRM and REDHAT.EXEC are the files required to install RHEL5, RHEL6 and RHEL7. With RHEL5 and RHEL6 - optionally (but recommended) a CONF file was added to facilitate the installation process as described in this IBM Redbook: https://books.google.com/books?id=GHzJAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA151&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=4#v=onepage&q&f=false <https://books.google.com/books?id=GHzJAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA151&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=4#v=onepage&q&f=false> Now with RHEL7 you can still use the same method as RHEL6, I strongly recommend to use the new installation method described in this other IBM Redbook (because the old method will be deprecated): http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg248303.html?Open <http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg248303.html?Open> Kind Regards, Filipe Miranda > On Jul 22, 2015, at 10:47 AM, Chu, Raymond wrote: > > Filipe, > > I have the following standard files "INITRD.IMG, KERNEL.IMG,GENERIC.PRM and > REDHAT.EXEC when working Redhat 6.

Re: Red Hat/ClefOS configuration file
Hi, Is this a network install ? If yes, the the installer is not able to find your installation tree. This is why Step #3 is falling. on the GENERIC.PRM you have to define the install tree: Example: inst.repo=http://download.lab.bos.redhat.com/released/RHEL-7/7.0/Server/s390x/os I prefer http, its fast and easy once you have the contents available though the web server.
