It doesn't solve your web problem, but IBM has taken orders and support calls over the phone for decades. Sometimes the old ways work the most reliably. Just order what you need by phone, and then worry about the IBMLink problem once you have your system in the state it needs to be in. Say hi to

That appears to be dependent upon the traffic. If the choice is between VSwitch and Hipersockets, then the traffic must be moving between virtual machines. Why leave the VM system to move packets? On 04/12/2010 01:21 PM, Frank M. Ramaekers wrote: It seems that the performance using

DCSS type SN?

If I were to define a DCSS as type SN and populate it with a filesystem full of data, how is z/VM going to share it among several Linux guests? I'm assuming that the pages of the DCSS are shared among the guests such that there's really only one page actually in memory and that every guest is

At least one aspect of SN is the NoData, that is CP will not save any data of it in the spool. That means when you load it, it will nbe empty. The fact however that it is Shared, means all users see the same data (otherwise it would be Ex; Exclusive). What I don't know is if guests are allowed to

That is the official way to do it (to define a virtual server to run on the IFL(s)). It's just not clear from the doc that you use the COMMAND + the DEFINE instead of some format of the CPU statement as one would expect. The other option as mentioned here is to dedicate the whole IFL to that
