  • Introducing Linux on IBM Z Systems IT Simplicity with an Enterprise Grade Linux Platform
    Introducing Linux on IBM z Systems IT simplicity with an enterprise grade Linux platform Wilhelm Mild IBM Executive IT Architect for Mobile, z Systems and Linux © 2016 IBM Corporation IBM Germany What is Linux? . Linux is an operating system – Operating systems are tools which enable computers to function as multi-user, multitasking, and multiprocessing servers. – Linux is typically delivered in a Distribution with many useful tools and Open Source components. Linux is hardware agnostic by design – Linux runs on multiple hardware architectures which means Linux skills are platform independent. Linux is modular and built to coexist with other operating systems – Businesses are using Linux today. More and more businesses proceed with an evolutionary solution strategy based on Linux. 2 © 2016 IBM Corporation What is IBM z Systems ? . IBM z Systems is the family name used by IBM for its mainframe computers – The z Systems families were named for their availability – z stands for zero downtime. The systems are built with spare components capable of hot failovers to ensure continuous operations. IBM z Systems paradigm – The IBM z Systems family maintains full backward compatibility. In effect, current systems are the direct, lineal descendants of System/360, built in 1964, and the System/370 from the 1970s. Many applications written for these systems can still run unmodified on the newest z Systems over five decades later. IBM z Systems variety of Operating Systems – There are different traditional Operating Systems that run on z Systems like z/OS, z/VSE or TPF. With z/VM IBM delivers a mature Hypervisor to virtualize the operating systems.

  • IBM Virtual Machine Facility/370 : Systems Introduction
    GC20-1800-0 IBM Virtual Machine Facility/370 : Systems Introduction The IBM Virtual Machine Facility/370 (VM/370) is a System Control Program (SCP) that has been designed specifically for the IBM System/370. VM/370 manages the IBM System/370 in such a way that mUltiple remote terminal users appear to have a dedicated computing system at their disposal. Within this "virtual machine" the user may run the operaHng system of his choice, subject to the restrictions noted in "Appendix C: VM/370 Restrictions" of this manual. The design of VM/370 is based on the IBM Control Program-67/Cam­ bridge Monitor System (CP-67/CMS) which is executed on an IBM System/360 Model 67. The Conversational Monitor System (CMS) is the major subsystem ofVM/370. CMS provides problem solving and program development services to the user, as well as supporting facilities for a remote user who chooses to run some other operating system in his virtual machine. This manual provides introductory information about the facilities provided by VM/370, and defines the min­ imum equipment configuration necessary for execution. Preface This manual provides introductory information on the IBM Virtual Machine Facility/370 (VM/370) and its associated subsystem, the Conversational Monitor Sys­ tem (CMS), as well as an overview of the purpose and functions of VM/370. It is assumed that the user has a prior knowledge of virtual storage concepts as implemented on the IBM System/370 via dynamic address translation. The reader is referred to Part I of the student text publication Introduction to Virtual Storage in System/370, Order No.

I also certify that the work in this thesis has not previously been submitted as part of requirements for a degree. Hiermit erklare¨ ich, die vorliegende Arbeit selbstandig¨ und nur unter Benutzung der angegebenen Literatur und Hilfsmittel angefertigt zu haben.

Die Arbeit hat in gleicher oder ahnlicher¨ Form keiner anderen Prufungsbeh¨ orde¨ vorgelegen. Karlsruhe, den 17. April 2007 Kim-Thomas Moller¨ Abstract The resurgence of system virtualization has provoked diverse virtualization tech- niques targeting different application workloads and requirements. However, a methodology to compare the performance of virtualization techniques at fine gran- ularity has not yet been introduced. VMbench is a novel benchmarking suite that focusses on virtual machine environments. By applying the pre-virtualization ap- proach for hypervisor interoperability, VMbench achieves hypervisor-neutral in- strumentation of virtual machines at the instruction level. Measurements of dif- ferent virtual machine configurations demonstrate how VMbench helps rate and predict virtual machine performance. Kurzfassung Das wiedererwachte Interesse an der Systemvirtualisierung hat verschiedenartige Virtualisierungstechniken fur¨ unterschiedliche Anwendungslasten und Anforde- rungen hervorgebracht. Jedoch wurde bislang noch keine Methodik eingefuhrt,¨ um Virtualisierungstechniken mit hoher Granularitat¨ zu vergleichen. VMbench ist eine neuartige Benchmarking-Suite fur¨ Virtuelle-Maschinen-Umgebungen.

What are the benefits of virtualization? ▪ Simplification – use of standardized images, virtualized hardware, and automated configuration of virtual infrastructure ▪ Migration – one of the first uses of virtualization, enable coexistence, phased upgrades and migrations. It can also simplify hardware upgrades by make changes transparent. ▪ Efficiency – reduced hardware footprints, better utilization of available hardware resources, and reduced time to delivery. Reuse of deprovisioned or relinquished resources. ▪ Resilience – run new versions and old versions in parallel, avoiding service downtime ▪ Cost savings – having fewer machines translates to lower costs in server hardware, networking, floor space, electricity, administration (perceived) ▪ To accommodate growth – virtualization allows the IT department to be more responsive to business growth, hopefully avoiding interruption 3 © Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 Agenda • Benefits of
