I've done similar things in the past but in different ways: - routed all messages to z/OS where it was handled by the automation pack age there - used SA IOM (formerly AF/Remote) which would allow you to do all that a nd more, including the automation side of things. A very nice tool - possibly

I don't have any IBM inside information, but I suspect that there may be a few reasons, including: 1- It's an Architectural Level Set, requiring a z10. A big deal. A version number increment may help make that more obvious (to those with IBM history). 2- It's the base for the z/VM Single

Is Single System Image conceptually akin to z/OS's Parallel Sysplex? IMHO, the direct answer is It depends (TM Bill Bitner). I doubt you could call Parallel Sysplex and SSI akin. Not even close enough to be called kissing cousins. There's no Coupling Facility support defined in the

So if that's all there is, why would anyone bother to install z/VM 6.1? 1. To keep your capacity planning people from moving your system to an old z9 that they're trying to find a use for. 2. Performance improvements for virtual switch. 3. To have something to put on your performance plan.

Alain, Basically, it allows a customer to connect up to 4 z/VM systems (even on 4 separate CECs, i.e. separate z10's) into more of a single system, but not exactly. Many userids can be moved from one system to another, without taking them down to move them. The z/VM systems will not need to
