Rich,
We will be using backups from z/OS and/or combined with network backup for
Linux. Not decided yet.
We realize DIRMAINT is good to learn and we need to do that.
We also need to decide with Security people whether we want to use LDAP
with RACF on Mainframe or use what their current Linux uses.
These decisions need to be made as well as getting all in place. What I
REALLY need now is some kind of time/resource estimate for planning,
learning, implementing beyond Proof of Concept.
At this point we have a z/VM system up running a Linux guest that we can
connect to.
Estimates??
Thanks,
Valerie
With the resources you have, some number of months is probably not out
of the question. What that number is may be a toss-up as none of us
really knows all of the facts. Needless to say it will be quite the
learning experience.
Michael's assessment is spot-on, though. Assistance by a seasoned z/VM
Systems professional with a Linux on System z background should shorten
that time somewhat.
