Don't know about that gateway, but OpenSolaris on zSeries is a real beta. Not useful for production. It boots yes, but uses a lot of cpu and generates tons of errormessages. There is obviously some work left to do.

It seems that this 'Channel Gateway' is normally configured on a Sun server running Solaris - I am not sure what they use for physical channel attachment. I'm wondering if there is any merit on this software being ported to zLinux and OpenSolaris - we already have the mainframe and real FICON channels. Is OpenSolaris on zLinux viable or is it still in early development? Has anyone actually have real life experience with the Luminex product ? Thoughts ??
