With a customer focused agenda, Velocity Software partnered with IBM’s Washington System Center and Center of Excellence to help show the value behind running optimized workloads on IBM LinuxONE systems. MongoDB and Oracle guest were built on a VMware based stack, along side running them on a LinuxONE 4 directly on bare metal, and under z/VM for some initial benchmarks. The value of course goes beyond just how fast transactions can be processed. We’ll also be sharing the advantages realized for vertical over horizontal growth, the use of on-board AI processors, compression and the resulting sustainability for running a hybrid cloud with IBM’s LinuxONE systems
This session will look at the 9175 system’s core design and architecture. Exploring the new Telum II chip improvements in the cache design and how it works within the system as well as changes in the memory. We will cover the layout of the I/O subsystem, new adapters, and discuss some of the new features coming to the Z like: updates to Flexible capacity for Cyber Resiliency, the new AI Inferencing Accelerator, the new Spyre adapter , and more.
For over 30 years, 21CS has been at the forefront of mainframe data protection, recovery, and performance planning. Central to their success is the strategic alliance with IBM, which led to 21CS entering into a z/VSE source code agreement in 2021. Discover how 21CS continues to drive innovation in the VSE space through its legacy of excellence and bold vision for what's next.
Whether you are a systems programmer who is brand new to z/VM, or you’ve just been away from the platform for a while and need a refresher, this session will provide useful information about the z/VM hypervisor kernel — called the Control Program (CP). We will start with an overview of CP and how it uses disk space, memory, and devices; followed by booting (‘IPLing’) your system; defining virtual machines and virtual networking; and the various ways you can interact with CP. We will conclude with an introduction to collecting diagnostic information for both testing and problem determination.
IBM issued a Statement of Direction with the release of z/VM V7.4 to warn users that the LDAP/VM server would be going away in a future release. Identity management wasn't easy befoer, and IBM acknowledges that this is a non-trivial move. So let's talk about it. This presentation will provide an overview of where LDAP mattered on z/VM, the ways in which it can be superseded or replaced today, and will cover a few details regarding in-development efforts to seek out and eliminate pain points in the identity management space.
This lab lets you choose from several monitoring, automation and backup/recovery scenarios for z/VM and Linux guests. You can choose from separate hands-on labs using IBM Operations Manager for z/VM or IBM Backup and Restore Manager for z/VM. Lab exercises include viewing and interacting with service machine and Linux guest consoles, taking an action based on a console message, monitoring user IDs for logoff, monitoring spool and page space, and backing up and recovering z/VM data.
