Hello, Anatol. From your description of the configuration you want to run, it sounds like you will have z/OS (MVS) running in one LPAR and Linux for zSeries running in another. If this is correct, then the answer to your question is "no, there is no way to share memory or semaphores across LPARs". You are going to have to come up with some sort of communications protocol between the z/OS and Linux LPARs. Here hipersockets would be a good choice....

I'm new to this list, and the FAQ link doesn't work, so please excuse possible redundancy. We have a C++ application on USS, which communicates with an MVS application via a shared memory segment and binary semaphores. Presently we're contemplating porting that application to Linux on IFL. I wonder if there are any means of interprocess communications, like shared memory and semaphores, available for an MVS application to talk to Linux on IFL. I know about HyperSockets, but that's networking, not IPC. zVM is not an option for us, so I wonder if anyone has any ideas or references for us.
