The article summary I'm including talks about Sun Microsystems' Linux

Got into work and took a look and it appears that the s390-tools already has
support for DIAG 250 disk booting. The boot loader is there, but there's
no way to use it. This might be even easier than I thought.

I thought it (zipl) just printed a message that it wasn't supported.

Actually, looks like the 1.2.0 version of s390-tools does have full support
for it. I haven't tried it though as I'm still on the 1.1.x series.
(Waiting for multiboot support in the 1.2.x series.)
In another thread (Whither ) it was the general
consensus that people like lots of little linxues.
So, where are your databases? Distributed databases?
Small databases that fit into something less than a
TB? Other hardware and other OS?
One popular answer I've heard is DB2 MVS. Another is
I have a customer doing just that (Linux for S/390 as the database server).
So much so that moving off of DB2 on VSE is a current project.

So,
we have a similar project, actually we have two lpars with os/390 and db2,
and we plan to migrate the db's to linux390 maybe with postresql.

I have been looking for info on setting up IPtables on SuSE SLES7 for s390.
It looks like the iptables was either not there or replaced with NetFilter
??
Does anyone have some simple examples of setting this up ?
I have Linux guest on a zVM 4.3 guestlan running LDAP, WebSeal, TAM,
Websphere,
Netfilter and iptables are the same thing -- I think. If I remember
correctly, ipchains was installed by default on SLES7. I think Ihad to get
iptables off of the developer CDs. We used SuSEfirewall2 under SLES7 (as
well as SLES8 now) to configure our firewalls/iptables. It's a pretty ok
I don't know SLES7. FWIW, just some precisions about

NOTES 6.5 TO SUPPORT MAINFRAMES RUNNING LINUX | SearchDomino.com
IBM Lotus announced today that Notes/Domino 6.5 will include support
for Linux on the zSeries mainframe. The new version will also support
the Domino Web Access client via the open-source Mozilla browser.
For the complete story,
Yep, you're absolutey right. A closer inspection of the source revealed
this:

case disk_type_unknown:
error_reason(Unsupported disk type (%s),
disk_get_type_name(info-type));
disk_free_info(info);

Thanks for the information.

John,
One of the most bizarre things I could ask of an MVS transplant
is to look over autoconf, but it does more or less all of the
things you want to do. It requires a skill known as writing
m4 macros, which isn't _completely_ bizarre, but it will probably

You might want to look into m4 or even m1. It can provide you with some
conditional logic just like skeletons. If you can't find m1 let me know.

James,
Thanks. I even think that I have that manual at home. Now, to find it under
the piles of stuff grin. This is one of the problems with being a 50 yr
old never-married who lives alone. VBG I have done some M4 stuff with the
sendmail configuration. You're right - it's weird.

You don't need a port to run linux in a 2003. Just use a Linux for S/390 distro.
I'm running an old Marist distribution in a 2003-206 under VM in a LPAR, and now
I'm defining a second LPAR with VM and will try to run a couple of images of
RedHat Enterprise 3 to test it.

Here's a slightly modified verion of m1 that will let you check internal
variable table for variable resolution first. If it doesn't find it there,
then it will check the envrionment. (The original didn't check the
environment.)
That way you can assign the value before running the job through
