I think I heard in one of the SHARE presentations where CMM was
discussed where the "Oracle DBAs wanted 4 GB of RAM (just like they had
in Windows), but that the zLinux administrator had used CMM to take away
most of the 4GB and the DBAs never knew. They had no way to tell." I
don't remember who said that. It might have been in one of the
presentations from Nationwide.

We are considering running the Oracle databases for a Peoplesoft

that even if we get that to work the other pieces of the Peoplesoft
implementation will need to go on non-zSeries distributed systems servers
and are wondering if anyone has implemented the actual application code and
interfaces on zSeries Linux guests.
I'm not sure just how much of this you're looking to validate. Certainly many,
many people are running Oracle databases on Linux for System z. There's an
article from a year ago,
http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3656941 , that talks about IBM
and Oracle signing a co-marketing agreement. One paragraph has this to say:
"Candidate workloads for the Linux on System z include Oracle database software and
other Oracle software including, EBusiness Suite for Linux on System z, Peoplesoft on
Linux for System z, and Siebel on Linux for System z."
I don't know if that means there is actually software that will run on
mainframe Linux or not.
