Not a direct answer, but Mantissa is working on x/86 under z/VM. Target release date is 1Q2009. Virtualization rate is estimated to be about 700 images per z/9 engine. You can extrapolate for z/890 or z/10.
http://www.mantissa.com/products/UV <snip> Hi List, we have recently been asked to virtualize a windows server under SLES9 Linux running in a z/VM environment. In other words: - A zSeries system running - a z/VM system running - a SLES9 Linux running - a windows (XP server I suppose) My question is: How can I virtualize a server under a z/Linux ? I have tried XEN but have found it only on INTEL platforms. In fact I have read Xen works currently only on x86 platforms and it is being tried on AMD64, IA64 and PPC. So I assume it doesn't work on zLinux. KVM VirtualBox Virtual PC BOCHS QEMU also don't seem to work on z/VM z/Linux platforms. So my question is: do any of you know any way to achieve this "invention" our customer demands from us ? </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
