Re: Draft Redpaper: z/VM and Linux on IBM System z: Implementing a Shared Root File System
Hi any plans for a version based on Red Hat ? Thanks Nigel -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael MacIsaac Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 2:08 PM To: LINUX-390@vm.marist.edu Subject: Draft Redpaper: z/VM and Linux on IBM System z: Implementing a Shared Root File System Hello all linux-390 and ibmvmers, A draft Redpaper Sharing and maintaining Linux under z/VM is now up on http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/redp4322.html?Open Here is the abstract: Large operating systems, such as z/OS(r), have, for several decades, leveraged shared file structures. The benefits are reduced disk space, simplified maintenance and simplified systems management. This Redpaper describes how to create a Linux(r) solution with shared file systems on IBM(r) System z? hardware (the mainframe) running under z/VM(r). It also describes a maintenance system where the same Linux image exists on a test, maintenance and gold virtual servers. This redpaper is based on z/VM 5.3 and SLES 10. The associated tar file of sample scripts and EXECs should be on ftp://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/REDP4322 (It seems that directory has not yet been created, but should be soon.) Any feedback off-list (or on-list) would be appreciated.

Re: Help: Change from VTAM print to LPR PRINTING
Take a look at CaSpool. Good product.

(I still find it hard to believe that CICS and IMS don't speak TCP/IP for printing.) If you want to install and support your own, there was a package called SNAPRSIM written by Bruce Crabill on the 1998 VM Workshop tape. I found it on the web at Fran Hensler's web site: http://zvm.sru.edu/~DOWNLOAD/ . I have been using this for several years and support several hundred printers.

The price tag. The last time I looked at it, we just couldn't afford it. I can't go into many specifics, but it was going to be almost a million for the first year and 200K for every year after.
