Not sure. I think LINUX will run with Network Attached Storage ....
Congratulations! Mainframes are fun!
Thanks and yes they are :)
One does not boot a mainframe; one IPLs it. :)
I totally knew this but somehow forgot such terminology while writing
> I can't advise you as to the other boxes. From my Linux experience on
mainframe I can say it doesn't seem to boo... IPL any differently to any other
mainframe OS. If you can define the device to the mainframe and issue an
IPL command, you *should* be able to IPL anything I think?
Hm ok, I will have to do some more research on the storage front then.
What I have been told is that you can IPL Linux over a SAN but not any
IBM OS.
But if IPLing shouldn't be any different then
maybe you can't IPL from
a
SAN at all which I wouldn't be surprised at.

Check the OS defaults of the SAN networking software layer. My instinct is
AIX might play a part here.
