9:15 AM Want to measure Linux? - So Do I.....
This presentation is a look at technologies
for the analysis of performance, capacity planning
and SLA's. Want to know why one vendor
supports a new release at announce and
another takes a year or more?
Want to know how to evaluate a processor change?
DASD changes? Lots of good questions!
This presentation is Research In Progress
that will hopefully wind up with the technology
to measure Linux systems. Techniques and technology
will be presented for analyzing and solving
problems in performance measurement, capacity planning,
and service level agreements.
I invite you to share your experience
to add to this hopefully interactive session.

2:45 PM Installing LINUX with SUSE
At this meeting I plan on presenting the process to
prepare and install Linux on VM/EAS as a 2nd level guest.
Then I will do a live install of Linux on VM by using
one of our VM systems in IBM Endicott via a phone connection.
I will walk through the preparation steps that include:
Setting up 3 minidisks, transferring Linux boot files to
minidisk A , creating execs and VM user directory.
Then I will install Linux from VM to demonstrate the
following installation steps:
Using VM reader to IPL the initial Linux Kernel with RAM disk and
parm file; Connecting the initial Linux system to the network
(TCPIP address will be needed in order to get the initial
system on the network to continue the installation);
Assigning and formatting DASD to the initial system;
Using "yaST", SuSE installation tool, to complete the
install of Linux from an NFS mounted/exported CD.
