Hi gang. Odd question. Figured there's enough silliness in here someone

If anyone has any idea where I can get them for around a dollar each or
less, I would love to know. I need approximately 50, perhaps 75 of them.

Re: Workload move from z/OS to z/Linux

2008-01-30 Thread Ken Porowski
What I was alluding to was that a zAAP will run anyone's Java code (or a
subset) but for work to run on a zIIP you have to know/code something
specific to gain access to it (or at least this was how it was explained
to me).  The first implementer was DB2 and now I believe CA has some
stuff that can use it (probably after a licensing agreement with IBM?).

I think the zIIP is more generic.  At least it can be used for DB2
and/or Oracle and perhaps other DBs.  The zAAP can only be used for
Java.

-Original Message-
Ken Porowski

Wouldn't the code needed to support a zIIP or zAAP have to be added to
Linux and available to all?
I would think that this is a 'trade secret' for IBM and one they would
prefer to control/license as they are with zIIP for z/OS workloads (zAAP
appears to be a little more generic).

 can't see what would prevent a mix of
IFL+n*zAAP+m*zIIP LPAR from running linux

How about: it's not supported -- there is no code in zLINUX to (a)
recognise zAAPs  zIIPs, and (b) run anything on it.

(unless, again, there is too much stuff stripped from the zAAPs  zIIPs

that would prevent it from
running general purpose threads).


There is -- that's the whole point.
Not IPLable.
Only designed for specific purposes under z/OS -- no othe zSoftWare
supports them.

What I was alluding to was that a zAAP will run anyone's Java code (or 
a subset)

Yes, but the dispatcher has to know how/when to direct a sub-task to
the zAAP. It doesn't happen just because you have JAVA and a zAAP.

If I have a zAAP and are at appropriate levels of z/OS and JAVA (and
whatever else) to support it and configured appropriately and I have
JAVA code that 'could' run on a zAAP and I don't have to change my JAVA
code to make it zAAP eligible then isn't that the same as it  'happen
just because you have JAVA and a zAAP' ?  I am assuming that I (sysprog
or applications) don't need to do anything to specify what work is zAAP
eligible and that if I am configured correctly (hardware and code
levels) whatever is zAAP legible will attempt to use it.

but for work to run on a zIIP you have to know/code something specific
to gain access to it (or at least this was how it was explained to me).

No. There are no application changes required.
It's all in the dispatcher.

But is it documented specifically (and free other than a z/OS license)
what meets the eligibility requirements or does (CA for example) need to
work with IBM and possibly change code (either CA's or IBM's) to allow a
new exploiter (e.g. CA-IDMS)?

Re: 3490E Tape Drive End of Service

2007-07-10 Thread Ken Porowski
Cross posted to IBM-MAIN and LINUX-390

And does anyone know of any supported 3490E drives (standalone or 3494
library)?

We have 3490-F1A's in a 3494 and just prior to dropping support we had a
failure.  It took about 2 weeks to find a replacement part.  Actually it
was for the controller.  We are starting a forced migration but will
need supported drives for a couple of years at least.

If you do a search on ibm.com for 'Linux for z/OS' you will see the term
has been in use for a while.

Probably just an earlier term for 'Linux on zSeries'

I also saw Linux/390

Re: DB2 ON Linux zseries/390

IIRC z/OS.e runs in a 'normal' engine not an IFL.  It does have its own
pricing which is less than z/OS but there are some restrictions.  DB2
and other products should be less expensive too.  Not sure if the engine
cost is any different though.

Steve Gentry

Please note, I wrote z/OS.e  note the e
This is a version of z/OS that will run in an IFL and thus take
advantage of
lower pricing (according to IBM).   I'm neither for or against this
option.
It was something that IBM presented to us as an alternative along with
zLinux under VM in an IFL.

Re: Linux zSeries Presentation

2006-10-18 Thread Ken Porowski
True, the SHARE presentations also look very similar to a session at the
System z9 and zSeries Expo (10/9-13/2006).

I was looking for the LinuxWorld presentation specifically because it
was given by their Chief Architect and (unfortunately) that would
probably carry more weight with management.  The SHARE and Expo
presentations do add some information so I would combine all of them
when presenting it to my management. 

I have been in touch with Rick Barlow at Nationwide (he gave the Expo
presentation) but he doesn't have a copy of the LinuxWorld presentation.

I have the podcast of the LinuxWorld presentation but no foils to go
with it.

If you have another contact in Nationwide that would be most
appreciated.
