Objet : Creating a linux 'live DVD' for system z
Hi all,
I seem to recall that someone asked some time ago whether it was possible to
create DVD which could be used from the HMC to IPL a z/VM system into an LPAR
(in the same way that the z/VM installer works). I think the answer was that it
was not possible (other than for IBM) because it required some internal z/VM
knowledge and/or code changes.
Are there any tools to create a similar DVD to boot a linux system ?. I am
thinking in terms of a linux 'appliance' which could be booted into a tape-less
'bare metal' z system and be used to restore 3390 disk images from an NFS
server. (I was reminded of this question when I recently restored a zPDT
system, including z/VM and z/OS ADCDs, from a 1TB SSD the size of an iphone and
compared this with the prospect of a new storage rack + FICON-attached tape
controller and tape drive to do the same on a 'real' mainframe')
