Say you want to have a number of servers in "warm standby" mode that can be spun up quickly. This will do that for you. Or, you might have a very long-running analytics job that you don't want to interrupt, but you need to take your z/VM LPAR down for some reason. I don't consider the capability a major feature of Linux on the mainframe, but it has its uses. > Also, you get huge kudos for replying faster than tech support at SuSE :-) SUSE, please. And not really faster than our tech support. They have a _lot_ of customers to take care of. I try to take some of the load off by hanging out here (among other reasons). When I was still in technical support, my response time in the mailing list could be on the order of days.
