It's called 'signal on novalue' which you want to enable for serious

Since this is the second one in so many days, I figured that a gentle
reminder for the list might be helpful.
To leave the list, you need to send a message 'signoff linux-390' (without

Hope that helps.

Can VDISK be made by main memory?

We are running SLES8 under z/VM. We have purchased a new Shark and have
DASD allocated as Open Systems. I would like to access this space from
Linux.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in Advance,

Dear 1h9+AX
VDISK resides in z/VM paging subsystem. Pages in use are in main memory
and get paged out to expanded and later to DASD when nothing requires
them to be inside.
I have seen several presentations on Linux on 390. According to folks from
the IBM Linux Lab in Germany, a VERY SMALL percentage of the code is IBM
specific. That code is primarily in the device support areas.
Check out the following for more info ...
Hey Josh,
The way we have our DASD set up is using S390 type volumes on the Shark.

Interesting idea... I need to look into this. Is there a way for z/OS to
see those volumes? If not, we couldn't use OFFLINDR running on z/OS to
backup the volumes.
Are many shark shops using open system formatted DASD for z/Linux?

Seems to work fine for us. The volumes must be FCP attached (just like the
Shark), and VM itself must still use CKD for now, but
No, z/OS cannot see anything other than Escon or Ficon [E]CKD dasd. It
cannot directly backup FCP attached SCSI. You'd need to use something else
to do your backups.

Okay, folks, I've got a strange one here. this one has stumped my resident Unix

I've got two SLES8 servers on a VM LPAR connected via a guest lan.
One server (LINUXVM1) is a repository for all the CDs and patches that SuSE sends
256 channels would be my guess. SCSI over FCP gives better performance than
emulated ECKD as well. See Neale's presentation on the web site.

I thought IBM made Object Rexx available for L390 some time ago. It allows
classical Rexx programming and has OO capabilities which, for example, let
you do something over all the members of a set (it has several collection

Ken,
I'll skip past the fact that you _really_ don't want to run any of the r
commands (rsh, rexec, etc.) since they're so completely insecure. (SSH
would be a much better option.)
What does rpm -q rsh-server show you? If it shows as installed, then rpm
-V rsh-server might tell you something.
It looks like FCP guest support wsa introduced in 4.3. FCP IPL was in 4.4
