Dave, Thanks for the reply. We've actually already looked into using CSE if it happens to go on two VM systems. Other possibilities are vm/linux and rs-6000/linux or intel-linux, or even a Unix system. In other words, one on a VM guest linux and one somewhere else as the failover site.
So, the question still remains, "What kind of software do people use on Linux/390 for high-availability clustering?" "Christmas is a funny season. What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks?"
