We have several z/VM test systems that run either z/VM 5.3, 5.4, or 6.1. All the systems run as guests in the same LPAR under the same z/VM 5.4 host. Of the several, we have only ONE that cannot be reconfigured to run in VCONFIG set to LINUX and CPU type set to IFL. This particular system would

Yes, and the original statement was based on the assumption that the over commitment of real memory was high. Obviously if there is little to no over commitment than you will see very little paging from z/VM on behalf of the users. I will also add that even in z/OS say you are running a good

One possibility (without any ESM's) might be to place a directory statement in USERB's directory reading: LOGONBY USERA That would permit USERA to LOGONBY to USERB, but with CP asking for USERA's own logon password. That would permit the TELNET logon to be automated right up until USERA's own

The big advantage for a SVM is that you have as much granularity over the commands it will accept, and from whom, as you want to program into it. Going open kimono via UserB is not a good idea (as others have pointed out), no matter how attractive it might sound. You won't pass the most trivial

May be a network configuration issue? Is the client ping'able from your PC? Check all your network configurations z/VM, vswitch and parm file and make sure they are correct. If you are using a vswitch make sure you grant guess access to the vswitch. You may be able to get a shell from 3270
