Hi, David. Yes this is certainly the right place to ask such questions; welcome.
While I usually recommend installing z/VM for zLinux PoCs to my clients, you can indeed create an LPAR and run (only one copy of course) zLinux in it, with other LPARs running z/OS. BTW, this list and the one form z/VM ([email protected]) are excellent repositories of information, hint/tips, user experiences, etc. on running zLinux (both under z/VM and natively in an LPAR) and a lot of very knowledgeable folks hang out on them. They can be a big help. Have a good one, too. DJ Dave Jones V/Soft Software Houston, TX Spring, David wrote:
Good morning all, Hope this is the right place to ask this question. Please pardon the intrusion if I should be posting this someplace else. Our management is considering the acquisition of a new z114 "sandbox" system primarily for testing new hardware (DASD and tape). They would also like to conduct a z/Linux POC using the same machine. I know that z/Linux can run in native mode on a System z processor but I wasn't sure about it running side by side with z/OS. Can this be done using PR/SM and building separate LPARs on the z114 for running z/Linux and z/OS together on the same machine? I know that the most sensible solution would probably be to get a z/VM hypervisor and run z/OS and z/Linux as guest operating systems under it. However, there's a lot of resistance here to running yet another operating system such as z/VM. Any comments, advice, etc.?
