Hehe, you are funny :) I know, we can handle that part, but shhhh, don't tell anyone :)
No seriously, it is ok for our purpose. We can prove only one zLinux running as root have read-access to the specified disks. They have to be available to z/VM, and they are not now, so we cant just read all disks. We need to make some dedicated volumes shared between z/OS and z/VM. Purpose is to use the opensource ekvivilent(hmm that word looks wrong) to S A S for reading SMF files and produce some form of statistics/reports. Will save us lots of batch-cpu-costs. Sadly we will still need the S A S - license, otherwise the costsavings would be even larger. Ok, so no-one has done it yet I guess ? _________________________________________________ Tore Agblad System programmer, Volvo IT certified IT Architect Volvo Information Technology Infrastructure Mainframe Design & Development, Linux servers Dept 4352 DA1S SE-405 08, Gothenburg Sweden Telephone: +46-31-3233569 E-mail: [email protected] http://www.volvo.com/volvoit/global/en-gb/ -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Altmark Sent: den 9 juni 2011 21:56 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: mvsdasd working for SLES11 someone ?

(shudder) Indeed. Reading an MVS volume that has not been specifically created with express purpose accessing from outside of z/OS will result in a visit from "Mr. Smith" and "Mr. Smith" (not related), from the previously-unsuspected Data Protection Division. From your hospital room you will find that you are unable to find such a Division in the company org chart.... hmmm... I thought I locked my door when I left home....
