Hi, for our customer we started with to provide the Linux, but the Linux team wanted to provision it self. They bought Wave but didn't like it because they want to script it. So at the end we use now the CloudConnector for z/VM, nowadays called Feilong and is part of the openmainframe project (https://www.openmainframeproject.org/projects/feilong).
The Linux team scripted around the API's provided by Feilong. We as z/VM team provide for the linux servers the Swap on vdisk and some basic profile so the Linux has always 2 FCP ports (Exit on Dirmaint and always called 5c51/5c50) and the same network ports. For the Linux we use Mdisks (out of a pool) and for Oracle binaries and Data the lun's are directly connected to Linux. After installing Linux, a script provides Oracle. The customer is content, before it costed around a week to setup a blade, now within an hour all is setup.

Although not (yet) in production here, we have taken an extensive look at it and continue to figure out a migration plan for our non-Dirmaint environment.

It *was *a good tool-set and is long gone now unfortunately. Since it was written specifically for that environment even if I still had it, it probably would not be of much use except for the concepts. Humbly I would say zPRO is the way to go because I bet you have better things to do with your time but if you really want to tackle writing your own tools we could certainly chat about the things to focus on. You are welcome here at our office any time or we can meet up someplace. -- *James Vincent* *-- Velocity Software, Inc.* On Wed, Dec 11, 2019 at 2:13 PM Hamilton, Robert <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, Jim! > > IIRC, you had a good cloning tool or set of tools at your previous > employer.
