Thanks for the input. I understand the constraints described by the other posters. I was hoping for something that was indigenous for the OS in a similar way to how z/OSMF was managing it but as y’all pointed , they rolled their own and it doesn’t fit.
My current experiments are a tenant.plex.sysname.smfid.defaultip and then hash that string into an opaque value. Tenant can be anything I or a customer supplies that defines a unit for them. Not perfect by a stretch but we’ll see how far down the road it takes me. z/OS is honestly hard to quantify is its a host platform for runtimes as well as other hosts like zCX and z/OS containers in USS as well as a number of other subtleties that makes it hard to define in a general way.
