Good morning again and a happy Friday to all. I wanted to thank everyone who responded to my post yesterday. This listserv looks like a tremendous resource and repository of z/Linux and mainframe knowledge. I'm sure I'll be back soon!

Please pardon the intrusion if I should be posting this someplace else. Our management is considering the acquisition of a new z114 "sandbox" system primarily for testing new hardware (DASD and tape). They would also like to conduct a z/Linux POC using the same machine. I know that z/Linux can run in native mode on a System z processor but I wasn't sure about it running side by side with z/OS. Can this be done using PR/SM and building separate LPARs on the z114 for running z/Linux and z/OS together on the same machine? I know that the most sensible solution would probably be to get a z/VM hypervisor and run z/OS and z/Linux as guest operating systems under it. However, there's a lot of resistance here to running yet another operating system such as z/VM. Any comments, advice, etc.?
