Hello Barton,
We just started using XCAT to test Red Hat deployment, control
servers( boot/shutdown/power on ).
Goal is for another zLinux guest to request XCAT deploy new servers
for 30+ days and retire them. Will ZPRO offer similar capabilities and
when would that be available ?
Thanks
Joe

Subject: Re: Open stack on RHEL
For those interested. We have a project to replace xcat/smapi with a full
backend for openstack on z/vm as part of our zpro offering. The objective is
for a user of openstack to have control over a z/vm service the same as their
vmware service.
Since our API already includes any or none of VMSecure, RACF, dirmaint, and
specifically eliminates the need for SMAPI, I'm hoping our solution will
simplify your environment immensely.
