Hard to tell. Is there one place we can go to find out what is needed?

Thousand times that is a high number. This is not.
Monitor data for an average system has a few million numbers per
minute. I've offered your colleague to look at the data...

You said you get 60k to 80k hits/hour some times, and this is eating
your memory away. If you have Apache or IHS installed, you should
consider taking a look on httpd.conf to reduce the webserver memory
footprint.
By default, the httpd.conf loads a whole bunch of modules, for

Hi Sheldon - how many IFLs online and how many Linux guests were active

Are most of them from one server?

While RH does not provide support for GFS on System z, Sine Nomine

Correct. Oracle tells you NOT to use OCFS2 for their database servers,

First, let's hope these old Linux systems used EXT2 (or EXT3, which is
compatible), if you need to read the content. Linux supports a wide
range of filesystem types.
USS will not be able to use the Linux volumes ... at all.
z/OS *may* be able to read the "partitions" on the Linux volumes

"You'll then also need the other

addresses are not necessarily cast in stone, but you don't know at

In my experience, the important address to get correct is the IPL

Install a new Linux image (not actually that hard), and then mount the old
volumes and extract the necessary data you're looking for. Z/OS won't

But, I'm feeling a little nostalgic today and thought I point out a
