Although I was looking for the "getting started" redbook, this seems like an applicable place to start: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/linux/about/about_gettingstarted.html
And then here is one of the many Redbooks available on the topic: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247932.html I added the Linux on Z (LoZ) part because we are told to. Personally I think we should start embracing LoZ as being a special, better version of Linux... not because Linux is not Linux on the platform, but because of what the platform and z/VM provides for Linux. BTW, zOS does not allow Linux to run in its own addressing space. You can only run Linux on bare metal (in its own LPAR) or with z/VM. Hopefully all this general information is helpful, Kurt Acker IBM Smarter Planet, Smarter Data Centers Virtualization and Enterprise System Management Technologies From: hemanshu worah <hkwath...@yahoo.co.in> To: LINUX-390@vm.marist.edu, Date: 09/27/2013 06:49 AM Subject: Z/LINUX for IBM Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <LINUX-390@vm.marist.edu> I am trying to learn & understand Redhat z/Linux How to do LVM on Z/linux 1. LVM on windows is using Drives & partitions to create LVM , so when it comes to Z/OS .. what is used generally by various users Z/VM minidisk as Linux Drives , which is then used to create LVM and fstab entries in Linux are Z/VM minidisk or we use MVS - ZFS datasets , formatted and used as Drives on Linux 2. How is Data files shared across MVS & z/LINUX ( i know Datasets can be shared across MVS , Unix system services and are RACF protected ) , does RACF take care of Security on Z/OS VM/Linux. or LINUX Secirity is with ACL as available in RedHat Linux is there any Z/VM , Z/LINUX , Z/OS - Z/Linux tutorial information regards Hemanshu Worah Mumbai , India ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
