It's not "a z/OS thing" any more. Both z/VM and Linux can exploit it, providing you have paid for the hardware feature. Another alternative, would be to use SCSI over FCP, and have multiple paths to your disk that way. The built-in multipathing support in Linux would then be usable. Unless you've got spare channel adapters you can "convert" from FICON to FCP, though, that's going to cost money.
