Space may be cheap in North and South Dakota, Wyoming, parts of Nebraska, etc.,
but not so much in the sites where mainframes thrive... Manhattan, the rest of
NYC and its suburbs, adjoining NJ, San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas,
etc. Distributed s
yay!
Alpine makes a great "service virtual machine", as we call it on z/VM.
(Some say "appliance" on other architectures, but same idea.)

Hi,
Currently Alpine s390x is supported only in the form of Docker image or
minirootfs (chroot). Work is being done to have a boot image, since musl
libc (which Alpine uses instead of glibc) still lacks some support. We
expect to have it around 3.6.1 release.
minirootfs: http://dl-4.alpinelinux.o
Though I don't see a download for s390x at first glance - this release
announcement indicates support was added:

Of course. You should budget things properly or you're not doing your
job. Network hardware, power control, redundancy, etc, should all be
taken into consideration. And to some extent, the IBM maintenance
contract needs to be replaced with man power to repair/replace broken
parts as & when neede
And cabling and network ports, etc. And while you can maintain high
availability with those 500 things, you still will have failures and people
costs of repairing and putting that thing back into rotation.Can be done,
but it’s a cost people don't account for that I've seen.

Don't forget to consider the mainframe has a much smaller enironmental
footprint that say 500 COTS.
The cost savings in power comsumption, air conditioning, and floor space
can be huge.

Hello, Mariusz.
For quick and dirty z/VM accounting reports, I find CMS Pipelines very
useful. It can even connect to the CP *ACCOUNT service to product
reports in real time as data arrives.

Andre,
The VM:Account product from CA can process accounting records and create
reports.

As I recall from Appendix A of the "Linux for S/390" redbook, the S/390
(and, likely, zSeries) is designed to be maintainable WHILE WORKING.
The multi-dimensional ECC memory allows a memory card to be replaced WHILE
the system is running. Likewise, power supplies the CPs.
I have to agree that th

Hi Mariusz,
You can take a look at the ACCOUNT module. (IIRC it's on MAINT 193) This
processes an account input file. You can find information about the
ACCOUNT module in the CMS Command and Utilities guide.

Hello Community ,
We are running VM 6.4. Do you know any tool or manual for processing
accounting records on zVM? Those files are accumulating on our systems and

not human readable (""b"}a"") and I'm not sure how to proce
