Speaking of which ... does anyone know the ins-and-outs of using QEMU for z "guests" without KVM? I've used QEMU to present other architectures. (Was running SPARC just last week.) But QEMU is very PC-oriented, so it's tough to wade through the doco for mainframe hints. Will QEMU even do 3390 or 3370? or OSA or LCS? The para-virt disk and NIC are nice for a lot of use cases, but they present a short-fall in the grand picture of full capability we all hope to see. Hercules works fine. Nothing wrong with it, except that libvirt won't talk to it. Ah! Now there's a novel idea: hypervisors and emulators which can be managed through a common utility or protocol. So QEMU is interesting if perhaps I can launch 'virt-mangler' and bring my Linux/390 into the same console as the other kiddos. -- R; <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/
