Hello lists,
A while back on the IBMVM list, I asked a question about searching for

them into the internal project.

If your Linux virtual machine IPL's CMS, is it done in the virtual

You could put a "CP Q 190 191 19D 19E" just before the "IPL "

I can't find an RPM on RHEL 6.5 nor a s390x prebuilt package, so I assume

We were recently burned and lost an LV on an old SLES 9 SP2 system. The
person working on extending the LV was using yast. Now I'm not saying
that yast has a bug (and if it did in SLES 9 it was probably fix

yast is fine when everything works, but when it doesn't, it's hard to know
in what state the PV/VG/LVs were left.

Hi everyone,
We'd like to announce two new draft Virtualization Cookbooks. See:

These are only drafts. More good news is that they will eventually become
official IBM Redbooks. They include the following updates to previous
books:

What are the error messages related to TCP/IP as Linux boots? Is the
virtual machine being attached to a VSWITCH? If so, are you sure there is
no error message regarding the VSWITCH when you log on to the virtual
machine?

Did you move this Linux from an LPAR to running under z/VM? If so, then
you'd probably need to assign the same OSA triplet to the virtual machine
(perhaps through three DEDICATE statements in the user directory entry for
the Linux virtual machine

Srivinas,
After IPL of ZVM I get :
VSWITCH SYSTEM VSW1 STATUS IS READY.
DTCVSW1 is vswitch controller for 0503.P00
DTCVSW2 is vswitch controller for backup device 0506.P00
OK so you do have a VSWITCH defined, and it appears to be using real OSA
devices 503, 504 and 505 (with 506, 507 and 508 as

Hi,
Does RHEL have the fping and tree RPMs (or commands from another package)
on s390x? I don't see them in the Packages/ directory of the install DVD

Dave,
You can do a "ls /dev/system_vg" to see what logical volumes are there.
I would guess that this will work:
# lvextend -l +586 /dev/system_vg/home--vg

> Ideas?
I vaguely remember seeing a 4010 return code and vaguely associate it with
trying to make a physical volume (PV) out of a disk with a PV signature
already on it. That's probably why you ran into this the second time, but
not the first.
Did you reformat the disks at the "DASD Management"

So the installer can't find the RPMs

able to mount the new targets as file systems
I'm asking this question on the behalf of a customer:
I have this set up fine as far as VM is concerned, and have eth0 and eth1
defined on Linux (RHEL 5.5).
My problem is that the networks defined by eth0 and eth1 have different
gateway addresses, but when both interfaces are brought up, the defaul
