Mold 1.11 is out as the newest version of this open-source high performance linker that rivals the likes of LLVM LLD and GNU Gold for very speedy linking across multiple CPU architectures. The Mold linker continues to impress when it comes to the performance while it continues to be extended to support more hardware as well as additional features where it currently lacks parity to GNU Gold and LLD. With Mold 1.11 it adds initial support for IBM Power10 processors as with prior releases its existing POWER CPU support would yield broken executables for Power10 hardware. The Mold 1.11 release also adds the “–hash-style=none” argument, R_ARM_PLT32 relocation type support on 32-bit Arm, and R_RISCV_PLT32 relocation type support for RISC-V. Mold 1.11 also takes care of a corner-case issue when making use of Link-Time Optimizations (LTO), now supports linking object files generated by old (buggy) versions of GCC, and other fixes. Downloads and more details on the Mold 1.11 changes via GitHub.

Why is Power the right platform for SAP HANA based applications like S/4 or BW/4? Best in class! ( Besides z – Mainframe:-)) Proof: see current ITIC 2022 Reports for Reliability lnkd.in/eSBWztAT and Security lnkd.in/eyhzwnA7 plus sustainability and cost efficiency!

Really quick post here. To be honest, I’m doing this as much for my own use and to make life a bit easier for my customers as we work through setups. For a while now, I’ve been using a little local HTML/Javascript tool I made to add or remove colons and switch upper/lower case on WWPNs. Anyone that has done much work with multiple platforms where some require lowercase with colons and others want uppercase without colons knows the pain. There are plenty of these already available on the web, but in my quick search, I didn’t find one to do exactly what I wanted, so I wrote this one to use offline. For example, I frequently copy a storage adapter WWPN from IBM i DSPHDWRSC or STRSST to Brocade switches or DS8000/FlashSystems storage platforms to create zoning or host groups. The WWPN you get from IBM i is all uppercase with no colons, while the Brocade switches what to see lowercase with colons. This tool will let you easily convert a WWN or list of WWNs to/from any combination of upper/lowercase or colons/no-colons. Bookmark the URL https://blog.vios4i.com/p/wwn-tool.html and use it whenever you need, or just come to the https:/blog.vios4i.com home page and use the permanent link on the right side of the screen, then stick around and read and comment on my latest blog post. If you’d also like to have a tool to use offline, this one does all of its work with embedded javascript, so you should be able to just save it as an html page and use it locally when you don’t have a connection also.

With PowerVC 2.1.0, we have enabled IBM Storwize Global Mirror Change Volumes (GMCV) Registration using the IBM PowerVC GUI along with the option of specifying source and target child pools on the P rimary and Secondary storage controllers respectively, that are involved in a global mirror relationship for storing the change volumes. In the figure below, you can see two storage controllers on different sites that are involved in a global mirror relationship, having their own parent and child pools to store their replicated and change volumes.
