Hi Tom, I am sharing 2 OSA with 4 z/OS and 2 z/VMs. Each z/VM is using its own VLAN using VLAN tagging and the z/OS is using its own VLAN as a native VLAN. The VSWITCH is using both OSA devices: one as the primary and the second as the backup device. The VSWITCH is forwarding the packets to the Li

Most products stated requirements assume that they will be running on an Intel box as the only "guest", and without any hypervisor support. The likely need is for disk buffering; hopefully, the actual code doesn't need 12GB to run in. In z/VM, you already have disk buffering at a minimum of two le

You'll have to do a FORCE start, and you'll lose open spool files. I've never had an SFS server complain, but our CMS workload is rather light. Linux will want to fsck its filesystems. I've really never had a problem and we've done 4 or 5 DR tests with this configuration (all ext3 filesystems).

Jonathon is correct. VM will need a force start and Linux will fsck. We've done more than a dozen tests and have had no issues with either. This is with SLES 9 and 10 and ext3 file systems. Marcy "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information. If you are not the
