Alan Altmark did a z9 overview presentation in November 2005. I found the presentation on his page on the VM Developers web area. It has some reasonable pictures. The url is: http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/ALTMARKA/SYSTEMZ9.pdf Rick Barlow Systems

Hi, What version of zVM are you running? What is the maintenance level? Which Linux distribution are you running? I had a similar situation in the past with a VSWITCH, basically I applied all the maintenance to zVM and also upgrade SLES9 to SLES9 SP3, after that no more problems... Regards,

Hi, SMB is an installation option but is not the recommended one; do you have an available Linux workstation/server available? NFS installation on a Linux box is easy, especially if you follow the instructions on the z/VM and Linux on IBM System z: The Virtualization Cookbook for SLES9

I expect that by an agent you refer to the RMFPMS tool that I've had installed. Well, in the mean time, I have shut down the RMFPMS service, and put the HZ_TIMER to 0. There is still a load of around 2% cpu time in performance monitor. Does anyone have any other idea? Thanx Karel Gentens KBC

Hello Karel, what performance monitor are you refering to: - within SLES eg. top? Then you are looking at top itself which can easily take 2 percent. - outside SLES on zVM level? Then there is still something running. I have idle levels of about 0,5 percent and that is with an idle but runnig

On our system even those guests with RMFPMS running are only doing about 0.1% when idle. Would the timer patch (already mentioned by someone) make that much of a difference? Jon snip I doubt Rob was referring to RMFPMS, but rather Velocity tools that are more light weight. /snip

I need another set of eyes Bionic ones would be nice. Anyway, I'm using the mksles9root.sh from http://linuxvm.org/Patches/S390/mksles9root.sh which should be the current one. I have the 3 s390x SP3 images in the same directory as the install iso images: -rw-r--r-- 1 suse9 users

Tom, There is obviously something else wrong. You could do a sh -x ./mksles9root.sh -m s390x and see all that is going on. That may be a lot of output. You could also add an echo statement near the bottom after the line mk_directory_structure $spLevel such as: echo mounts = $mount, spLevel =

In SLES10, there is something called zmd that had to be turned off. zmd is in the default SLES10 boot process, and it consumes resources while the instance sits idle. We use this to shut it off: chkconfig novell-zmd off Ray Mrohs U.S. Department of Justice 202-307-6896 -Original

Do you have SUDO available on the linux box? If so then you could setup your rexec userid with a NOPASSWD sudo entry : Cmnd_AliasMYCOMMAND = /path/to/what/you/want/to/do rexecusrid ALL=NOPASSWD:MYCOMMAND Then in your rexec use: rexec linuxbox 'sudo /path/to/what/you/want/to/do'
