Hi, Robert. There are a couple of "free' options available here:
1) IBM ships with z/VM a virtual machine named AUDITOR; from the doc: AUDITOR is a tool for monitoring service virtual machines (SVMs) running on your system. AUDITOR tells you which SVMs are running properly, are logged off, are in a disabled wait state, or have failed tests made by test routines you create. AUDITOR not only checks SVMs to see if they are running properly, it can restart a service virtual machine that is disabled or logged off. 2) TRACK for z/VM (http://vm.marist.edu/track/) can show you the Linux guests' spool console log, as well as it's current virtual machine state. Good luck. Hobbs, Robert wrote:
Can anyone recommend a simple way to verify that Linux servers running under zVM have booted successfully? Until recently we had a program product that in addition to it's main function was able to verify that the Linux servers had booted successfully. Alas, the contract for the product was not renewed and now we need to find a replacement method other than logging onto each server. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
