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. DennisWhat's the difference between an Escalade and a golf ball? Tiger Woods can drive a golf ball 400 yards.
Take a look at Bill Bitner's "z/VM System Limits" (or something like that). It should be available on the SHARE proceedings.
