Re: Redhat Linux 2.4.9 Hanging

I have worked around the problem. I had forgotten that October 3 was the first IPL after we applied RSU 0402 to our z/VM 3.1.0 system. Previously, we were at RSU 0102. It appears that something in RSU 0402 changed the DIAG interface, causing Linux to hang when accessing the swap device. Changing

Don't let the compile times scare you. It is long established that the zSeres processors are not the fastest on the market, far from it. What you gain by running on zSeries is extremely fast internal communications with Hipersockets and Virtual Switch, high I/O bandwidth (FICON and SCSI disk

Yes, compiles are almost 100% CPU intensive tasks. Mainframes are not the best choice for compute intensive tasks, which is why you have to pick your workload carefully. The other applications you talk about, HTTP serving, Web Application serving, email *are* good choices for the mainframe.

Finding an not installed file

Weird question, but it may have an easy answer. During a product installation, it said that I was missing libdb.so.2 file. So I go to Yast, and do a search for it. Not there. I queried the vender and was told that I needed the gnome-libs rpm installed. OK, Yast found that. Sure enough, when I

In the yast insall search tool you can select the Description and Provides check box and search for the files. I have also found that rpmfind.net is useful for such searches as well, even if it gives me the wrong version(s) it can point you in the right direction for which package to query.

Also be sure to define who your high and low priority users and servers are, and set your relative share values accordingly. This probably has the biggest effect on performance than any other single tuning parameter. Then make sure everyone (especially your lower priority users) understands what

If you've got cwd pointing to a directory of rpm package files, you could do this to find which package(s) supply libblah.so.1: o rpm -q --filesbypkg -p *.rpm | grep libblah.so.1 YaST is based on rpm package files, so I'd guess this would be the way you'd wanna do it as long as you could
