The generic SNMP support works fine with SCOM if you install netsnmp on the 
Linux guests and load the appropriate MIB files into SCOM. Microsoft doesn't 
supply a 390x binary for their extended agents, so the amount of introspection 
you can do is limited, but if standard MIB2 stuff is good enough, that works 
fine.

For Linux, SCOM only supports x86 and x86_64 although there is support for 
other architectures.

I was part of the upgrade to a z9 when I was there for their mainframe
integration talking as a Softie to IBM.  I believe they have since gone to
a z10 BC.  We are working on trying to get in to talk with them about
zEnterprise including the zBX.

Stranger things have happened.BUT I wouldn't
hold my breath;-))
