Hello lists,

The latest "Virtualization Cookbooks" are now published IBM Redbooks, not
drafts. They are:

-) "z/VM and Linux on IBM System z The Virtualization Cookbook for SLES 10
SP2", SG24-7493 on the Web at
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247493.html

-) "z/VM and Linux on IBM System z The Virtualization Cookbook for RHEL
5.2", SG24-7492 on the Web at
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247492.html

There are associated tar files for each book. If you're pulling down the
books you might want to get the tar files at the same time. Start at
ftp://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/ and search for SG247493 (SLES book)
or SG247492 (RHEL book).

The ITSO editors are now three-for-three in ripping out the Albert
Einstein quotes at the start of each chapter :((  Oh well.  The good news
is that it seems the command highlighting was left alone, making the books
more usable/readable, IMHO.

It is worth mentioning new or changed sections since the last set (on
linuxvm.org/present):
-) Updated for the latest: z/VM 5.4, SLES 10 SP2 and RHEL 5.2
-) Two 3390-3s are recommended, not just one as in the past
-) More flexible LVM-based file systems are recommended to better allow
for growth
-) Golden image on separate user IDs/clone script has "from" and "to" -
allows for multiple golden images
-) "Travelling" /home file system is described which uses NFS and
automount
-) CMM1 and VMRM are described
-) Defining a larger DCSS for the Performance Toolkit

As always, there is no formal (but informal) support, feedback is welcome,
and the price is right :))

Thanks to the many, many others who made these books possible, especially
Brad Hinson, Marian Gasparovic, and Lydia Parziale.
