jfh@fbader: hi & welcome07:03
fbader@jfh Thanks, just about to get some sleep since it's 3AM.07:05
jfh@fabder: yeah - I already wondered about your late mail ;-) - have a good remaining night07:06
cpaelzerah you are already active - hi fbader11:59
fbader@cpaelzer Hello, yes I'm trying to learn about IRC.  Never used it before.12:01
cpaelzerfbader: it is not so much different to other messengers12:03
cpaelzerfbader: just less silly pictures and more content12:03
cpaelzerfbader: so the "employed messenger" among the kiddies :-P12:03
fbaderIs there are documented process for adding DASD to a guest so that it is permanent after IPL?  Is adding new DASD to /udev/rules.d the recommended way?12:09
cpaelzerchzdev will take care of creating udev rules12:09
cpaelzerlszdev&chzdev are provided and supported by IBM12:10
cpaelzerpart of s390-utils s390-tools or whatever it is called today12:10
cpaelzertake a look at their manpages that should cover most that you need12:10
cpaelzerincluding enqiry of devices, selecting active/inactive, ...12:11
cpaelzerfbader: ^^12:11
fbaderI didn't see them in the doc on the Ubuntu site.   Is there a "Drivers & Commands" document for Ubunutu like there is for SLES & RHEL?12:11
cpaelzerfbader: AFAIK that doc is in progress under lead by Dorothea in BB12:11
cpaelzerfbader: but I didn't see a draft of it nor a final version yet12:12
cpaelzerbut I must admit I haven't checked12:12
cpaelzerfbader: the cool thing is this12:13
cpaelzerfbader: since we picked up the new stuff from IBM by that it actually is documented12:13
cpaelzerfbader: just not in a ubunut specific manner12:13
cpaelzerfbader: but there is the generic "upstream" devcie drivers book12:13
cpaelzerfbader: http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/linux390/docu/l4n4dd29.pdf12:13
cpaelzerfbader: and there is a whole chapter about this new one-place-for-all thing12:13
cpaelzerfbader: page 602 ff12:13
fbaderThanks!  I'll check that out.12:14
cpaelzerfbader: page 701 and around hold all the ls* tools12:15
xnox$ man chzdev ? =)13:08
jfh@fbader: there is indeed a draft of the device drivers book for kernel 4.4 - you should contact Dorothea Matthaeus from the IBM ID team in BB13:42
jfh@cpaelzer: oh - didn't saw all your lines ... sorry13:42
cpaelzerjfh: I had maaany lines, how could you miss them :-P13:43
jfh:-D13:43
cpaelzerbut that is a great example why Ubuntu is great for so many people13:43
cpaelzernot outdated old tools, not super-special-own-tools if not needed13:44
cpaelzerjust most recent manaufacturer provided SW in most cases13:44
cpaelzerI like that13:44
jfhwell, I'm using pidgin - and it you scroll up and forgot to scroll down to the end again - you may miss the latest lines ... (until you really scroll down again ...)13:44
jfhright ...13:45
cpaelzerxnox: is there now a nicer way to install from FTP with a setup like our forced VLAN config?13:51
cpaelzerxnox: I still use the old google keep I got from you, did that got better or is it considered a non supported setup with a working workaround?13:52
xnoxcpaelzer, it should be perfect very soon.14:55
xnoxcpaelzer, with http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/yakkety-proposed/main/installer-s390x/20101020ubuntu455/images/ it should be just netcfg/vlan_id=XYZ and magical.14:55
xnoxi fixed the last bug, i think, and will retest now.14:55
xnoxand then SRU fixups into xenial.14:55
cpaelzerxnox: great14:57
cpaelzerxnox: that means we will at some point have an updated installer for Xenial on laconia then14:57
