My understand is that it is neither licensed nor supported for production work.

Anyone doing this in the real world? We've got architects in the corporation that head about this, and want to discuss it. I just don't know enough about it to know if it's a big deal, or a breadbox with regards to building and supporting. My concerns: - are how to support - is it an identical image of standard lpars on Z? - security - etc, etc, etc. I did a few searches on google looking for a past SHARE presentation for a 10,000' view. To my uneducated self, it sounds like an easy way for management to defer mainframe cpu costs, but at a huge support cost. Am I wrong? _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Manager Mainframe Engineering, Assistant Vice President [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
