Hint: Moving SLES8 from 9672 to z890 (OSA-Express) without graphic terminal (only 3270)

2006-03-27 Thread Leonard Janus
Hello list we are running SLES8 (and SLES9) under zVM 4.4 and zVM 5.1. Last weekend we were in trouble and had to move a SLES8 image from a 9672 to a z890 (OSA Express). As all dasd devices were shared between the machines both zVM had the same definitions available. The problem was to change

1. Should be fine for a basic server. If you load up a bunch of X-based stuff, you may start running out of room. 2. Are you using lvm? If so, see e2fsadm. If not, I use parted to resize the underlying partition, then resize2fs to resize the filesystem itself. -Original Message-

1. It all depends. 31 bit SUSE 9.0 will install on a single 3390-3 pack. But... 1a. This doesn't allow for much swap area. 1b. It doesn't allow for a major application such as DB2, Oracle, Websphere etc. 1c. Really doesn't allow for putting on service, but if you have the service packs as

Something like this absolutely requires that you file a support incident with SUSE. They're the only ones that are going to be able to figure out why things are segfaulting and provided a solution that they'll support. You could try running an rpm -V command against the RPMs that contain both

Hmm. Let's see... SUSE, a company based in Germany is producing software that defaults to using German... Sounds like a bug to me! :) No, it's not a problem. If you want to specify -l en_us you can do so, but it won't change what the command actually does to the system. Mark Post

Re: Device Mapper error at boot

Thanks Mark. I think I have determined that it is the command that is having the problem. At boot it fails on the first modprobe command and I get a segmentation fault from the command line with modprobe. Also, insmod works just fine in loading the module. If I get a solution from SUSE I will
