>z/VM is a collection of fabulous tools. Use the best tool for the job at hand, sometimes: CMS. >Mike Walter A prime example of doing just that is the System Management Application Programming Interface server, which has been available for last few years. All of the facilities needed for creating and managing a collection of Linux application servers under VM are available to a client program running in Linux or even on Windows. The SMAPI server distributes control of your running Linux servers and allows cloning of new servers using your choice of VM:Secure or DIRMAINT directory managers. All the pieces run on CMS. It's a great place to run servers! Bob Bolch
