Thanks for the explanation but my background is IBM and maybe I am still trying to get use to "the need to change" everything to a Hierarchal file structure and many Linux's, below VM.
VM, the operating system we all tossed out of the "Big Computer Center" window in the 70's.. Based on the "Google Story" and "The History" of Linux, they are not competing with SRM/WLM or HSM or RACF etc. but with the escalating Infrastructure cost of "The Big Computer" center. Maybe this was because of the introduction of Escalating Software prices every time you upgrade the Hardware but the Magician behind the curtain, was always IBM. Now you are asking us again, to trust IBM... move your Linux Servers onto our boxes and we will take care of you. In the mean time, we have to gradually "interlace" Linux with zOS, duplicate "Scheduling software", "Accounting" packages etc. because IBM and zOS has failed us.
