Peter ...
I started a much longer reply because no single "VM tool for Linux"
can bridge the entire chasm you are trying to cross, and as the
author of CMS FS, I started to get a little defensive. Sorry.
You said you want the Linux equivalent of
type profile exec a
Most of us VMers will presume that you mean your 191 disk,
since A is by default 191 in CMS tradition. So find out
where Linux believes your 191 disk to be defined to the kernel:
grep 191 /proc/dasd/devices
If you get nothing from that command, then try
cat /proc/dasd/devices
It is possible that the 191 is no defined to Linux,
which would make this a bit more complicated. But for me
$ grep 191 /proc/dasd/devices
0191(ECKD) at ( 94:132) is dasdah : active at
blocksize: 4096, 12240 blocks, 47 MB
So my 191 is /dev/dasdah.
Yours will most likely NOT be the same /dev special file.
My equivalent to 'type profile exec a' then is
$ cmsfscat -d /dev/dasdah -a profile.exec
/* *

* Name: PROFILE EXEC *
...
Does that help?
