The DS4000 Series is only supported on System z if it is behind the IBM San
Volume Controller (SVC).

We are running z/Linux on our z800 and connecting to a 2105-800 (Shark)
over a SAN. I would imagine it to be setup the same way on a z9
connecting to a DS4800. I can share our experiences and configuration
if that will help.

Subject: SAN and Linux on zSeries
We are currently looking to add some disk storage to our SAN and I'm
anticipating connecting our z9 to it at some point to support Linux
guests
on z/VM. We are looking at buying at least one, perhaps two DS4800's.
However, there doesn't seem to be any info for supporting Linux on
zSeries
on them. They have "host kits" available for Linux on Power and Linux
on Intel, but not zSeries.
Does anyone have any experience with the DS4000 series and Linux on z?
If you have your z on the SAN, what types of devices are you using?
Any info would be helpful. Thanks and happy holidays to everyone!
Martha
