I think it's really going to come down to how the array presents itself to the 
world.  Based on their literature, it seems to be a SAN device that supports 
SCSI over FC, and iSCSI access.  If they did things right, then access over a 
SAN fabric should "just work" with Linux.  With z/VM, I have too little 
experience with things in this area, so I can't comment there.  IBM may require 
having this array behind a SAN Volume Controller (SVC), but only IBM can make 
any real statements there.

It will be interesting to see how these things work with Linux on z Systems.  
It would also be interesting to see how the costs and capabilities of something 
like this compare to a "roll your own" solution with something like SUSE 
Storage.
