No.  Xen currently does not run on System z.  Hopefully your customer will find 
that a convincing reason.

LPAR implies the s390 (or s390x) instruction set and architecture.
Xen implies the i386 (or ia64 or x86_64) instruction set and architecture.
The two are really unrelated.

LPAR + Linux + Xen

2008-11-18 Thread juarids
Hi,

I would like to know if anyone of you had already either installed or 
configured Linuz on zSeries running natively on a LPAR with Xen. I know 
that this might sound very weird for most of you , but a customer had 
asked me about this and I need to understand the major drawbacks of this 
implementation to try convincing them that this isn't  the best solution.

Any thoughts will be truly appreciated.

With kind regards,
