I am cross-posting this question to both the VMESA-L and LINUX-390 lists. I am looking for anyone who might be willing to share experience using SCSI/FCP DASD on zSeries with Linux. We are currently doing all of our virtual Linux with CKD DASD. Many potential applications really need amounts of disk space that are only practical with open systems storage. If anyone is willing to share information about a configuration they have working I would be very interested. I am looking for combinations of information like: z990; z/VM v.r; SuSE Linux; IBM SHARK/DS8000 or EMX xxxxx or STK xxxxx; dedicated SCSI to guest or z/VM-controlled with mini-disks. Any experience with DASD other than IBM SHARK would be particularly interesting.
