Hello Dennis, Here is nice place to start

Are there any good Redbooks or other documentation that's recent? He couldn't find anything that mentioned z10. He's particularly interested in limits (guests/LUN's/device addresses per channel, etc). CP Planning and Administration discusses configuration, but doesn't mention limits. I did find a discussion of limits in the Introducing N_Port Identifier Virtualization for IBM System z9 Redbook paper. That paper is from 2006. Has anything changed since then? I also found Steve Wilkins' presentation Using z/VM in a SCSI Environment. It has some good recommendations. Dennis What's the difference between an Escalade and a golf ball? Tiger Woods can drive a golf ball 400 yards.
