Dear Tim Sipples, You are absolutely correct about Oracle running in a zOS guest... Thank you for a truly bizzare answer! The appliance option pales in comparison, but is also valid. Many thanks for your thoughts. Sincerely, Paul On Wed, 15 Feb 2017, Timothy Sipples wrote: Date: Wed, 15

Some General Linux on z questions

Hi, I am starting to experiment with linux on z, and I have some questions. I currently have Ubuntu installed in an LPAR. I have added kvm to this installation, and I can install guest operating systems. I also have the KVM for z, which I downloaded from ShopzSeries. Is there any advantage or

They are from the official repo with a few extra packages from us. In general the only hooks we had to create were to add s390x to ExclusiveArch statements and to force it to use golang instead of gcc-go. There are a few mock —install hooks as not all BuildRequires are complete. On 2/15/17, 9:43

I haven't started on 6.4 yet but found this page, https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSB27U_6.4.0/com.ibm.zvm.v640.hcpa7/iplsec.htm. I don't know if it matters but the page shows a 'set machine esa' command just before the IPL command. Harley -Original Message- From: Linux

Re: IPL using LOADPARM bypasses SALIPL screen

What does QUERY VIRTUAL CONSOLE return ? My guess is that your console isn't really at 9 so SAPL doesn't appear, but is at an address specified in your system configuration file so you get the prompts. Bill Norton From: "Will, Chris" To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Date:

Re: Oracle under z/VM without Linux?

Greetings David, Once again wise words from the "SNA Gateway"... :^) I gotta say that the option Tim Sipples, proposed of running Oracle in a zOS guest under VM is a bit more practical than running Oracle 7, I just find it facinating that Oracle appears to have abandoned VM, but not MVS.

Re: Oracle under z/VM without Linux?

We tested Oracle on z/VM at my former customer's site; this must have been version 5.x - the time frame in the end 199x years. We had to drop it, because performance was so bad. The problem was that the different Oracle processes that make up the Oracle database were implemented as different VM

Dreaming... When Oracle was supported under VM, it was VM/SP. It was 24 bit code. I also want to say it was in 370 mode which, I think, has long since bit the dust in the CMS world. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting On Wed, Feb 15, 2017 at 10:27 AM, David Boyes wrote: > >
