NFS (Network File System) also works if you wish, as I recall.

Linux uses disks with a fixed-block architecture. The lowest-level I/O 
driver in zCX maps these blocks one-for-one to ultra-high-performing

Linux on Z typically runs under z/VM which virtualizes guests using an

in extremely low (but of course not zero) performance degradation when

Hi:

It was always difficult for me to find materials about SIE ...

A nice source of data I found was the Linux Kernel sources, because of KVM ... 

It is nice to see for example how the instructions starting with a B2 opcode 
are intercepted  It is good to understand how the job is actually done ...

Lots of possibilities for what one can do.  Something to bear in mind its a 
“virtualized” guest so I/O performance will be less than native zLinux 
performance.  I haven’t seen any good data on the actual differences in 
performance but that would be interesting.

I doubt it. You would need to get your hands on an Oracle container(do they
even exist?)  compiled on Linux for z.

zCX workloads are ZIIP eligible. No IFLs involved.

Re: Linux address space on z/OS 2.4

2019-08-19 Thread Jake Anderson
Hi

How are the Linux workload are going to be handled within zOS, will there
be a IFL to offload only Linux workload from zOS ? As getting into general
CP is going to squeeze the performance in general.

Jake.

Hi all,

If you want to learn more about zCX then I just listened to this this 
episode of Terminal Talk which covers it really well:

http://terminaltalk.net/PodcastGenerator/?name=gary_puchkoff_-_z_os_container_extensions.mp3
 


Terminal Talk is an awesome podcast about the mainframe so check out 
previous topics if you haven't heard any before.

Kind Regards, 

Mark

People probably need to understand zCX and Docker. zCX appears to be
documented here:

I'd expect, rather, the Linux sysproging to be similar, but

Classic data sets, or zFS, or DB2, or other (specify).  And there remains
the EBCDIC nightmare.

Security/integrity concerns.  Will users be able to log on to Linux
with RACF credentials and access all their z/OS resources?  Classic
PDS serialization is cast in stone; NFS obeys ISPF's ENQ rules.

Three I can think of straightway:

1) No Linux sysproging
2) WLM workload management
3) Proximity to the data

I think it’s going to be VERY interesting to see what architectures and
operational regimes people come up with.

Linux address space on z/OS 2.4

2019-07-24 Thread Jake Anderson
Hi

Just curious about 2.4 ?

Running Linux as an address space in zOS will have an advantage over the
linux on zVM ?

This is just a question out of curiosity.
