The high MTBF numbers people quote for zSeries is for zSeries Hardware plus
zOS. zOS has a lot of hardware recovery code to take appropriate action
when a redundant "part" fails (cp, memory, subchannel, device). For Linux
on zSeries, its a goal to be achieved. ;-)

But then again, if you don't have UPS, your MTBF is as good as your power
company!
