We are consolidating two data centers. Both data centers run ZVM and VSE/ESA. I happen to be at the "home" data center with the hardware and the host zvm system.
The data center being relocated is keeping its network infrastructure, its operator staff, a few tape drives, and its users where they sit today. The data center being located wants its own ZVM under ZVM system. Technically I don't agree. On the other hand, maybe it' not a technical issue. If it's not a technical issue, what business reasons exist to support running a ZVM under ZVM environment? I'm sure there are others who have faced this dilemma in the past. How did you resolve it? I'd like to hear technical reasons why it's a bad idea to run ZVM under ZVM in production or why it's a good idea. Business reasons pro and con are welcome as well. The facts need to speak for themselves, not emotions. Any comments are welcome. Regards, _______________________ Jim Hughes "Impossible is just an opinion."
