Steve,
We have several DB2 databases running in Linux under z/VM on a z/10bc utilizing 6 ifls and all on ECKD dasd. No performance issues at all. The databases under linux provides better connectivity options when dealing with 'outside' requests for JDBC or ODBC access (for us at least).

Cliff, We have about 15 z/Linux servers running db2 V9.5 and V9.7 servers between 4 and 6 GB of storage, using Luns and with No File System cache db2 option enable, with REORDER option off to this servers.. We have experiemented great performances.
