The VM System Management API is a service virtual machine that runs a socket and RPC app that allows network invocation of a set of virtual machine manipulation routines from any system capable of doing TCP sockets or Sun RPC. It's part of VM, and it is designed to enable this kind of application to manage the "floor" system.
It isolates the app from the details of the directory and security management subsystems on the "floor" VM system. -- db -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port on behalf of Patrick Spinler Sent: Thu 10/23/2008 10:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Lx86 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 David Boyes wrote: >> I, as a VM guy first, don't really see the big win over just using >> mdisks, but I suppose since we have no dirmaint / directory/ vmsecure >> bits it would allow most of the VM's management to occur from the >> Linux side of things. > > Theoretically, that's what SMAPI is supposed to allow you to do.

I know we're using Dirmaint's API from various rexx exec's, how would you use it from Linux? - -- Pat -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJAI/MNObCqA8uBswRAj/DAJ9Dn8nkzsA/o1+djB0hnltrktNGTQCcCARU B5bAmgc95GqoA6oSAl/5SVo= =HxpX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
