Note:
s390-tools 1.2 are only tested with the kernels of "June 2003
stream".
Because of missing kernel-interfaces the following s390-tools from
1.2 will definitely not work with the "August 2001 stream":
start_hsnc/ip-watcher, osasnmpd, qetharp and qethconf.
SCSI IPL and dump:
To be able to use SCSI ipl and dump (zipl/zfcpdump) appropriate
enablement microcode (FC9904) is required.
SCSI IPL for Linux as a VM-guest requires z/VM Version 4 Release 4
(PTF UM30989 installed) or higher.
OSA-Express Direct SNMP:
To use OSA-Express Direct SNMP (osasnmpd), also apply the patch
linux-2.4.21-s390-06-june2003.tar.gz .
HiperSockets Network Concentrator:
s390-tools 1.2.2 introduces start_hsnc.sh providing support for
HiperSockets Network Concentrator, which can simplify network
addressing between HiperSockets and OSA-Express.
HiperSockets Network Concentrator is currently restricted to
unicast. See Restrictions
- HiperSockets Network Concentrator for current status.
