What I would like to do is have a mainframe batch job issue a command to a linux z/VM instance and shut the linux instance down. Then through the scheduling mainframe package, a mainframe job could be run to do an FDR backup of the DASD assigned to that instance. When the job successfully completes it could trigger a subsequent mainframe job to issue a command to bring the z/VM instance back up.
I was thinking I could use a rexx exec to make this happen, but I am not quite sure how. Is there an easier way to accomplish this task? Ila Z.
