The software stack that we are running, so far successfully, is: Dirmaint RACF/VM IBM Operations Manager for z/VM Mainstar Provisioning Expert for Linux (the best provisioning tool imho) Velocity Softwares ESALPS and zTune (again the best in the market imho) FDR/UpStream (for the Linux client to backup to the server on z/OS)
We have no tape directly attached to z/VM so all backups to tape are via DF/DSS on z/OS. hope this helps - let me know if you have any questions via direct e-mail Lionel B.

I want to be able to run a robust and secure z/VM environment using traditional mainframe support teams. Many thanks.
