Here are some answers to your questions. The driving forces here are pushing SOA. (I'm still trying to define what this means vs. our current processing architecture) I have seen some articles recently that point to Oracle on LINUX as being a good option for SOA. I am trying to find out what determines this. We currently run on a 2 CPU z-800 2066-0a2 (somewhere around 243 mips). We have a 2 LPAR multi-system sysplex for production running zos on one and zos.e on the other. Originally we had 1 Oracle data base on the zos.e side. And this worked well...for quite a while. We are now doing a lot more (9 data bases) and we are really juggling WLM to try to improve performance. We have divided the data bases over the 2 LPARS now. We have a lot of feeds coming in from other servers and users, replication, etc to keep the data base as current as possible for all the queries that come in. We also have 1 IFL (I believe 192 mips) running z/VM with a handful of LINUX (SLES 8) instances which are used mainly for file servers. One user successfully attempted to put Oracle on a LINUX instance a few years ago but their management chose another path before it was implemented. We are in the same branch with the DBAs so we have the possibility of laying out an Oracle instance in LINUX. We would like to do some type of proof of concept, but I've never done this before.

Is it just me, or does no one in the computer science field get taught how to do basic literature searches for past inventions? *Major* ancient history. All SOA is is a way to wrap existing apps in a framework, find the apps in a directory, and communicate input and results in a standardized way. Doesn't solve the problem of who can use the app, how it should be used, or whether the app is even useful in that form. It's just a rehash of object wrapper/broker capability published in the XNS Reference Architecture circa 1972 or so. Or NCS. Or Corba. Or DOM. Or any of dozens of other distributed object reference technologies over the past 3-4 decades.

Need z/VM-LINUX info
Hi Everyone, We are doing research to see if moving some/all of our Oracle data bases from z/OS (1.4 or 1.7) to LINUX on a z/VM IFL would be a good move. We will be moving toward SOA and I need some strong support to recommend this verses going to another platform such as UNIX or Windows. I have read some articles that sound good, but I'm hoping to get some comments, ideas, pro's or con's from anyone out there that can help me either justify the move or reject the idea.

Mary, It has been done quite successfully by numerous people on this list, but I am sure they want more specific information about your configuration in order to advise you further.

Re: Need z/VM-LINUX info
It sounds interesting to me. At the DGTIC in Quebec we have almost 200 servers running Oracle on 3 IFLs. None of this was work drained from z/OS. First off I would do the math; if you are new to z/VM, does the cost of IFL(s) and z/VM offset the reduction in MIPS of you remove Oracle from z/OS? Will your z/OS licensing costs be reduced? If yes this may be a winning strategy. What are the future growth plans? I'd be sad to Oracle repatriated to another platform. With Oracle the license is per IFL, not image - so you may be able to run a lot of Oracle critters with few licenses. Don't think you will achieve that licensing savings on Unix. But it depends on how many servers you will be running Oracle on. Is this all data centre or do you have an application or management sponsor?

Re: Need z/VM-LINUX info
Thanks for your input everyone. Here are some answers to your questions. The driving forces here are pushing SOA. (I'm still trying to define what this means vs. our current processing architecture) I have seen some articles recently that point to Oracle on LINUX as being a good option for SOA. I am trying to find out what determines this. We currently run on a 2 CPU z-800 2066-0a2 (somewhere around 243 mips). We have a 2 LPAR multi-system sysplex for production running zos on one and zos.e on the other. Originally we had 1 Oracle data base on the zos.e side. And this worked well...for quite a while. We are now doing a lot more (9 data bases) and we are really juggling WLM to try to improve performance. We have divided the data bases over the 2 LPARS now. We have a lot of feeds coming in from other servers and users, replication, etc to keep the data base as current as possible for all the queries that come in. We also have 1 IFL (I believe 192 mips) running z/VM with a handful of LINUX (SLES 8) instances which are used mainly for file servers. One user successfully attempted to put Oracle on a LINUX instance a few years ago but their management chose another path before it was implemented. We are in the same branch with the DBAs so we have the possibility of laying out an Oracle instance in LINUX. We would like to do some type of proof of concept, but I've never done this before. Any and all suggestions/directions/comments are greatly appreciated.

Re: Need z/VM-LINUX info
What would the goal of your POC be? z/VM does many things well - but running one thing only like one Oracle machine is not advisable. Run multiple Oracle machines in your POC. Be careful when comparing performance; show many virtual machines running Oracle, not one. Think business case. Show license savings and the excellent vertical and horizontal growth potential with z/VM in IFLs. Rapid deployment. I have no idea what SOA is other than vaporware and white papers, but, hey, if it's good for z/VM, I like it!
