Greetings all, After a near-nine year run (since downloading the Marist distro back in April(?) 2000), 3M shut down the last two IFLs last week. At one time we had over 75 virtual servers running, including numerous DB2Connect servers, five TSM servers, the reverse proxy servers front-ending all digital media content on 3M.com, WebSphere development servers, and various "odds and ends"-type low use servers.
It was a blast while it lasted. I had the good fortune to be able to work with nearly all the cool technologies developed in recent z/VM releases - virtual switches (VLAN-aware and unaware), guest LANs, hipersockets (virtual and real), FCP (tape), and more. I have so many people to thank for all their hard work, from all the folks in development who brought this marvelous technology to us, to so many of you contributing to this list day-in and day-out, and especially to all those who have helped me personally with zLinux issues over the years. I'll be dropping into lurk mode on this list for now, but hopefully you'll continue to see me from time to time on VMESA-L, IBM-MAIN, and others. Very best regards, Mark Wheeler IT Infrastructure, 3M Center B224-4N-20, St Paul MN 55144 Tel: (651) 733-4355, Fax: (651) 736-7689 mlwheeler at mmm.com mwheelermn at hotmail.com -- "I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go."
