Re: Current Red Hat version available

2007-07-19 Thread Phil Tully

I have a couple customers successfully running MQ 6 with RHEL4.  MQ is
one of those middleware applications that run very nicely on z/Series Linux.

Phil Tully

It's been done already, with a product called ISX.  Most of us assumed the 
company and product had fallen off the face of the earth several years ago, but 
they've recently resurfaced.  I don't know if they were still around all that 
time, or what, but they seem to be back as it were.  I have no idea if their 
product will ever be successful, but you never know.

We are using RHEL 4 (of some sort) on z/OS. I am only peripherally
involved with it. I believe that Sam here (that is doing a lot of that
work) has found that MQ V6 has some problems (maybe in our environment).
If you wish, I can put you in touch with him for some more detailed
data.

Given the relatively small number of people running RHEL on the
mainframe, and the newness of RHEL5, I suspect you're going to be taking
some arrows for other people with MQ Series.  Please let us know how it
goes for you, so that others can benefit.

Kevin: If you are running RHEL 4 on z/OS it would be a miracle
(or close to it). RHEL 4 does run on System z and zSeries
hardware, but z/OS is another operating system and does not
support guests (that is what z/VM is for!). ;-)

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure it would be possible to port the
kernel to run as a z/OS task..

However, I doubt anyone would find any purpose to do something like that.

Jim,

See my earlier reply today about my fat-fingers (or fat brain). I know
what I was trying to say...just didn't say it well.

I can't speak to experiences with MQ 6.0, but the latest versions of
RHEL are 4.5 and 5.0.  Both have post-GA kernels available; RHEL 4.5 is
based on kernel 2.6.9, and RHEL 5.0 is based on kernel 2.6.18.

If it'll help, I can send you a list of bug fixes offline, which may
help decide whether to rollout the next versions (4.6 and/or 5.1).

If by, GA to the public you mean free then CentOS is a free rebuild.
