I have, in the past month also approached BMC with the same request as Mike and received the SAME answer. We even offered to partner with them by providing a lab to test it. So it appears that unless they see they are losing business I don't see them doing it. At least by their unresponsive history you can make that conclusion.

They would not support the environment and do not have a way of developing/testing patches if you run into an issue. Our management determined the risks were to great so we decided to go with vmware instead. We highly encouraged BMC to support z/Linux for Remedy as well as other BMC products in the future and they agreed to take it back to product development to determine of this is something they could do. That was about 6 months ago and we haven't heard anything else from them since. Mike Hamner National Business Center U.S. Department of Interior From: "Carson, Brad" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 06/04/2009 08:18 AM Subject: zLinux and BMC Remedy Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> Everyone, We are looking at installing Remedy here and I was wondering if we could do that using Linux on z (RHEL 5.3). Has anyone out there run Remedy on z? BMC is not telling no, just that is a unvalidated environment. So I'm asking here to see if anyone else has tried. Thanks. Brad S.
