Think about it. I know IBM understands the value of z/VM for their
training
classes are most always hosted as z/OS guests of z/VM.
Agreed. I have taken many classes from IBM (for MVS) where MVS was
under VM . I the last ten years there was never an issue about
response times and length of time to IPL.
Going back 30 years now that is a different story. Let us say that to
IPL took 2+ hours and everyone in the class was really pe'od at IBM
for such lousy times. It destroyed the class.
One time I was taking a 2 week course in Dallas and each team was
given a virtual machine (10 groups if I remember correctly) and it
was the best thing since sliced cheese. Go that way in a learning
environment.
