Our storage architect asked me about using FCP channels for Linux on z/VM. Are
there any good Redbooks or other documentation that's recent? He couldn't find
anything that mentioned z10. He's particularly interested in limits
(guests/LUN's/device addresses per channel, etc). CP Planning and
Administration discusses configuration, but doesn't mention limits. I did find
a discussion of limits in the Introducing N_Port Identifier Virtualization for
IBM System z9 Redbook paper. That paper is from 2006. Has anything changed
since then? I also found Steve Wilkins' presentation Using z/VM in a SCSI
Environment. It has some good recommendations.

What's the difference between an Escalade and a golf ball? Tiger Woods can
drive a golf ball 400 yards.
