Re: input requested on running SAP on z/Linux
I have a Large customer, that over the past 18 months has implemented SAP running the application servers on z/Linux and the DB2 on z/OS. The main key points, HA with Parallel Sysplex and WLM. I would be more than happy to speak with you on my experience.

SAP does not certify having the database (regardless of what flavor) on Linux for System z. The rest of the setup can be on Linux for System z, but not that one piece. One of my larger customers is running SAP on Linux for System z (using z/VM), with DB2 running on z/OS. They're trying to move away from AIX for this particular use. They have two CECs for redundancy (both are running z/OS, z/VM and Linux), dynamic routing and VIPA to everything, etc. Big and complex, but it runs well for them.

Re: input requested on running SAP on z/Linux
Bruce, The SAP App Server on Linux for System z only supports the database on DB2 for z/OS. Sadly, DB2 LUW (even Linux on System z) is not an option. Like the other poster indicated, if you can get an opportunity to talk to Mark you should do so. He actually gave a good presentation here at SHARE about their setup, experiences and motivation.
