We're no experts but we basically use the same minidisk addresses for the
various linux guests. We also tend to put application products in their own
filesystem on a separate VM minidisk. So our linux guests have basically the
same minidisks for the SuSE linux filesystems. We didn't have a problem
When we bought our MP3000, not only Linux was free, but by committing to
have the business partner install Linux, we got a heafty discount on
the hardware.
I think IBM knows, that once Linux gets into the mainframe, and system
programmers start looking at it, it will be used. And will be used to

And if you're going to create multiple images, do yourself a favor up
front, go ahead and install DIRMAINT. Create a CMS DASD group and a
Linux DASD group for seamless minidisk allocations. Then talk to your
IBM rep about a class overviewing z/VM basic's, Linux and cloning.

Many years ago I stared using addresses in the range 700-7FF for virtual
DASD on all may guests. I have never had real DASD in this range. That
way when someone says something about a DASD at some address I know if
they are talking about a real address or a virtual address. I also use
the same addr
I always keep the virtual address different from the real address.
(unless I'm running in a perferred guest system)

multiple minidisks defined on a real volu

Yes.
I have a general administration / setup question for people who are running
multiple Linux/390 systems under z/VM. Do all your Linux instances use the
same virtual addresses for things like DASD, regardless of the actual device
address? Or do you find it "better" to make the virtual DASD address ma
