Group,
We are looking at using RACF for z/VM 6.1. We have RACF for z/OS V1R12 and
are looking at sharing the RACF database between z/OS and z/VM. The RACF
System's Programmer Guide has reasons why we should run the RACF utilities from
the z/OS side. Our z/VM mainly has just z/LINUX guests and the directory
doesn't change often. When sharing DASD in R/W mode between CPUs some
performance issues may arise.
Q). Can the RACF database be maintained from z/OS and just have a R/O link
to z/VM? For as little as we change z/VM can we just load the "z/VM" record
changes from MVS? MVS can tolerate the z/VM RACF records. Can it also
generate the z/VM records or tolerate us loading the records from an MVS
program?
Q). How much RACF database direct record manipulation should we think of
doing (or can we do)?
Thanks in advance, Dave
