Samir, I'm looking for books dat he can use as a reference and for self-study, especially for zlinux. Most people learn by doing. If you have access to an LPAR, z/VM, Linux, some DASD and IP addresses, you can go through the steps in the Virtualization Cookbooks. There is one for Novell's SLES

Linux and mainframe tape drives

I guess about 6 - 8 months ago, I read a document, perhaps a redbook, redpiece...concerning IBM 3590 tape drives and Linux on the mainframe. I made a mental note about it as we were in the process of getting a couple 3590s. Now it is time to try to use the 3590s with Linux and my mental note
