Re: Diag and FBA in 2.6

2004-11-22 Thread Carsten Otte
So, there's really no way to say, load *this* device with *this* discipline ? I ask because I'm trying to get swap in DIAG again, and because I have all three DASD disciplines in the kernel, it's getting detected as FBA. Well, that shouldn't be so bad, in that I should be able to echo 1

I would think that Adam's not dealing with SUSE, but Debian. Adam, are you using an initrd? I didn't think Debian, did, but I figured I should ask to make sure. Good point. Quite frankly, when using dasd as a module on the initrd, you need to add (diag) as a module parameter like this: modprobe

VM dispatching

2004-11-22 Thread Daniel Jarboe
A few weeks ago we had what over time grew into a big problem dispatching guests. Guests would stop being dispatched sometimes for 10 minutes at a time, for no reason that we could identify. Usually shutting some guests down would get everyone dispatching again, but it was a mess. We applied

SLES9 Evaulation Download - ISO problems?

2004-11-22 Thread Hall, Ken (IDS ECCS)
Did anyone else have trouble with the ISO images? Specifically, discs 1 and 2 from the S390 set. It took me two tries to get disc 1 and four tries to get disk 2, before the MD5SUMs matched. I could buy a random corruption, but the first 3 tries for disc 2 showed the same (bad) checksum.

Daniel: you can try checking your SRM values with QUERY SRM ALL. Check STORBUF and LDUBUF. IND Q EXP, IND PAGING, IND I/O may help, too. IND LOAD for paging rates as well as QUERY ALLOC PAGE. Are you using a real time performance monitor? Most useful. David Kreuter Are there any VM commands we can

I have a 64-bit SLES 9 test system that I've been playing with. I recently applied some patches that Suse had recommended applying. After I recycled the system, it will no longer talk to the guest lan. It worked prior to the patches and no changes have been been made on the VM side. It

How to add a volume for user data

We got our SLES 8 system up and now want to add an additional 3390 volume just for a user directory. We haven't had any luck in finding out how this can be accomplished. Any suggestions or pointers into where to find the commands would be appreciated. Thanks Mike Wickman
