We've been asking for the SLES8 client for more than 2 years. We have been told the SLES8 client will be available soon. However, it requires the master server to be version 5.1. So now we will finally have a client and still cannot use it. Our server is still a version 4 and has to remain so

Overcommit memory

First, use Ficon. performance is SIGNIFICANTLY better than Escon. Channels for VM Paging (vm does paging, not swapping) is rarely an issue. Escon channels to me are a huge inhibitor to LInux on z/VM performance. There has been no published research for SAP performance under Linux under z/VM.

For what's it's worth, we aren't currently running SAP or Oracle but we do run several applications with tomcat. We were able to cut down the virtual storage required by the tomcat guests dramatically by using 4 VDISK's for swap. For example, one vendor stated they needed 1 GIG of memory. But we
