One more point about netsnmp, beyond the HOST, MIB-II, and UCD mibs provided by netsnmp, we've extended it to support a set of (growing) velocity software mibs that we have found necessary to meet the challenge of mainframe style capacity planning and performance analysis requirements It

No, /proc is actually direct access to the kernel modules, it is not buffered in memory. There are read and write routines which get called when needed in each bit of the kernel that provides /proc data. David Tom Shilson [EMAIL PROTECTED]To:

First i've heard of it. but probably not. I think the standards review process is too slow. by the time i convince them that these new points are of value, we'll have added many more. They haven't even added the UCD mib set, many of which are of extreme value to the standard host mib definition.

In late 2000, the Oklahoma Department of Human Services decided that the HP equipment purchased in 1995 to service the Child Welfare division needed to be upgraded. The assumption at that time was to continue with HP as the primary vendor and the operating system would continue as HP-UX; however,

The first issue is vt100 support from a VM console session. An idea: In ages past, the 7171 supported a special escape sequence to go into transparent mode, which allowed (almost) raw 7-bit binary data to be sent over a connection when you needed to do file transfer with Kermit. I wonder if the

Chris - great job - terrific news. Can you share some more: 1) how many linux instances are you running? 2) how much real memory do you have? 3) how much virtual memory are you allocating per linux instance? And anything else you think would be worth knowing for those of us who are planning

I don't know whether you can actually observe the drive, but I'm guessing this drive has a gravity-fed autoloader that pops the next tape into the drive when the previous one has been ejected. If so, you need to wait longer between ejecting the tape and trying to write to the next one -- 40

There's a lot of CP code to be written to make it work, though, as CP doesn't support a virtual Integrated VT220 Console, nor is there any provision in LDEV to connect the LDEV to any form of integrated console. (LDEVs always connect to the virtual machine console.) Hmm. Sounds like the 7171
