To echo some of the others comments: We ran Linux (Redhat) on our H50 and response time wasn't that great. We could say we were running Linux on the mainframe (bragging rights) but that was about it. We did this when the H50 was considered a new box (via the market) At that time, for us, it was a

I doubt David's auditors will be able to raise a valid objection to running an out-of-support Linux, when they apparently haven't objected to running VM/ESA 2.2. I knew Multiprises were old, but I didn't know that they were old enough to be museum exhibits.

There are not many holes, but things to consider. We had a MP3000 H30 also. 1. It doesn't perform Linux stuff as well as other mainframes. There is a CPU instruction added in newer systems, that made Linux performance much better. So, don't take poor performance on the MP3000 as an indicatio

I curate a museum which includes a uni-CP Multiprise 3000 (7060-H30) with 2 GB in basic mode running VM/ESA 2.2 and hosting VSE/ESA 2.2 in V=R. We may be required by auditors to encrypt files for transmission to other hosts. I'm saying it's feasible to install a Linux distribution into a V=V virt

Thanks Mike I see that now. Page 185 shows a move of the old directory, onto the new LVM volume. That stopped me (reading online instead of printing out the book). Two pages down, it describes extending a current LVM. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting >>> Michael MacIsaac 1/13/2009 6:49 AM >>>
