Presumably, z/VM can use the volume as an EDEV without having a VOL1 label or allocmap. If that does work, then it could be ATTACHed to a Linux guest as a 9336. Certainly a real 9336 can be ATTACHed to a guest without having a label or allocmap. I DO KNOW, and can tell you this works,

We need a Lingua Franca for hypervisors. Consider the command hcp attach F200-F202 mylinux Makes perfect sense, though the handle is a zSeries I/O range. What would that mean to INTeL? Might look more like Did I miss something? That address range is valid on

It sure would be nice, if in their presentations, IBM pointed out the benefits of zSeries. Why don't they? Paul: A very good point. We have come to assume that our mainframe customers are familiar with our partitioning capability, so that we don't talk about it much. Don't forget that neither

Mark: Conceptually, there are bound to be similarities. From a code base point of view, there is no feasible means of integration, if only because z/VM is Assembler and PL/X. Of course, the architectural differences present a much more significant barrier to having any commonality in the code

This makes me again suggest that we have a forum for discussing an open specification for hypervisor interaction. There was at one time a FreeVM-L discussion list. The purpose was not to produce any code (at least, not specifically any hypervisor code) but rather form a specification
