Managing Linux and Virtual Machines?

Posted by Cliff on from the seeking-wisdom-from-the-pioneers dept.

deijmaster asks: "For a couple of months we have been hearing (as a major consulting firm) IBM people pushing the possibility of installing a Z/Linux VM setup at one of our biggest clients (financial). To a Linux user such as myself this sounds great, at first. Now, I am a bit reluctant when it comes to managing this kind of infrastructure, with little or no local expertise at IBM. Has anyone gone through a Z/Linux VM corporate installation and lived through the management of such a solution?"

    I use VMWare all the time. Getting pretty good with it. It gets a bit squirrely with hardware like my keychain drive yesterday that locked it cold. BTW, your sig reads like Yoda's. Was that intentional?

    Except for when it comes to Linux on the mainframe, Marist is well known in that community.
