Re: Support Element (SE) vs HMC and IP Addresses
My concerns are all about IBM Support's ability to detect cracking activity, and worse, ubercracker exploits on a platform crucial to Z security that the Z customer has no way of even being aware of. That goes against my grain and would give me nightmares with the right set of responsibilities delegated to me by said customer. -- May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!

Re: Support Element (SE) vs HMC and IP Addresses
There is a web interface, but I think that only works with the HMC. I think you also have to enable the web interface for it to work. As an example in our environment they do scans for non-compliant software or vulnerability scans. I don't want those type of scans to hit my HMCs or SEs. That is one of the reasons we have a firewall to protect those devices.

Please reference this web page http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/linux/resources/testedplatforms.html and note the following restrictions: * Only OSA2 and OSA3 card are supported by z196. SLES 9 SP4 will work, but only for port=0 (so ports 1 (OSA2) and 1,2,3 (OSA3) are not accessible) * HyperPAV support available since SLES 11, and planned for SLES 10 SP4, is not planned for SLES 9 SP4 * CEX3 card hardware exploitation is not available. CEX3 cards work to the extent of CEX2 due to an updated device driver in SLES 9 SP4. Note also that the statement of support applies only to SLES 9 SP4 + latest maintenance updates. That means, being absolutely up to date with your maintenance. It's time to be moving off of SLES9, folks. If you're going to pay for all that nice new hardware, you might want to be running an OS that can use it. :) Mark Post

If your middleware were all recompiled, that would likely be very different. And if we could only get some of those other sw vendors to support sles 11... Money talks. Stop paying them to be recalcitrant. You get the behavior you reward. Mark Post

If your middleware were all recompiled, that would likely be very different. I suspect you are correct (what's new :).. When a WAS service pack cuts CPU in 1/2 for a particular app (but only that one for us) , one assumes there might be room for improvement... I think one can contribute all this inefficient code to distributed (i.e. I got my own who cares) boxes. I can raise the severity of open problems. I can't change contracts or withhold $. Just not high enough in the food chain ;) I have be able to fill out a vendor report card.. which goes back to contracts... Long cycle though.
