We have ASG's TMON for our z/OS system, but I don't think they have a Linux product yet. For the moment, I'm thinking about trying some unholy combination of the VM Performance Toolkit, top, and maybe Nagios or mon. Nagios, mon, and other such products are capable of producing e-mails to lists of support personnel. (In our case, we can use an e-mail to trigger a pager if we want.) We also have ACF2 on z/OS, but I don't think there are any plans (yet) to expand that to Linux; it wouldn't surprise me, though, if we eventually went to some sort of LDAP setup. We use FDRINSTANT for our backups. We bring the VM/Linux volumes online to z/OS, shut down the Linux guests, run the snapshots, restart the guests, run the backups, and then vary the volumes back offline. I have not yet gotten an opportunity to try a test restore of the backups, though. Jon <snip> Just a couple of quick questions. Does anyone use any 3rd party tool,like OmegaMon, to monitor zlinux? Has anyone every tried to implement CA's eTrust ACF2 Security for zLinux? Has anyone tried doing volume level backups using FDR or DFSMS? Do companies have a production control area monitoring the monitor? Or do you page when alerts happen? Reason for questions. We are trying to build a case for the use of zLinux in our shop. Management wants to be assured that all the pieces are there before they will go forward. Thus the fact finding mission. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
