Yes, it is very possible.
You need to implement DRDA over IP on your DB2/VM servers. DB2Connect provides the middleware to let your PC users connect to your database. A good place to run DB2Connect (if you're not doing so already) is in a zLinux guest on VM, right alongside your database.

To: [email protected] We are running DB2 7.2 servers (virtual machines, 1 test and 1 production) on our z9 BC with z/VM 5.2 to support VSE guests. One of the PC programmers was asking me how (if possible) they could access / update these mainframe data bases from the PC side. My assumption is that it's possible since we run batch VSE jobs that access / update the PC databases. Comments welcome.
