Everyone, Thanks for the good information.
We currently have a 100GB Linux guest. We are furiously applying fixes to SAP to lessen the need for storage.

The maximum supported memory size is currently 256GB, which is the same as z/VM's maximum. The Linux kernel itself will support 4TB, but an LPAR can only go up to 1TB. I don't know if z/VM has a limit on the size of any individual guest or not. I know you guys run some Linux in LPARs, but that isn't much help if you can't assign that much memory to an LPAR for testing. (I don't know too many people who have 1TB of paid-for-but-unused memory on a System z box.)
