Our initial release of the SSH Client Suite for VSE was batch-oriented. We've now enabled a 3270 interface to the suite and, experimentally, added a browser-based GUI. In this session I will describe and, if the presentation muses allow, demonstrate both interactive interfaces.
As principal engineer at Sine Nomine Associates, I have been doing Linux on the mainframe since it was a skunkworks project within IBM. I have authored several articles in publications such as Enterprise Technical Journal (and its predecessors) and have presented on z/VM and Linux... Read More →
Did you know there is a publicly accessible, historically accurate VM/System Product system? Travel back in time to the 1980s with VM/SP! Our incredibly diverse team of volunteer systems programmers has undertaken quite a journey and overcome some incredible hurdles to bring the PUBVM system to life! Join us to hear about how a college student, a young public-sector sysprog, a sysprog from IBM's CIO org, an SME from IBM's Washington Systems Center, and two retired IBM VM top-tier experts all came together to accomplish an incredible mission.
Velocity Software's zLOV version 610 stack of products, zVPS, zPRO, zTUNE and zVRM is focused on solving IBM Z and LinuxONE customer issues, along with support for IBM's latest z17 and LinuxONE 5 offerings. The goal of this session is to show the concerns brought to Velocity Software, and how this new product release resolves these problems, all while still using less than 1% of a processor. This also continues our effort in making IBM Z the most efficient and easy hybrid cloud platform to host Linux and OpenShift environments from.
z/VM was released 25 years ago in 2001. Its existence was sometimes in doubt but the influence of several individuals eventually ensured that it would be delivered. Since the initial release, there has been a continuing stream of enhancements. This presentation will review the background and describe some of the major innovations that have been introduced.
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 z/OS and VSE space through its perfect mixture of expertise and new skilled talent and bold vision for what's next.
Threats to business critical data can originate both outside the enterprise and from within; including privileged users. GDPS Logical Corruption Protection Manager (LCP) enhances your security and recovery posture by helping prevent unauthorized compromise of production systems, critical data, and protected copies. In this session, you'll learn how GDPS LCP enables the regular creation of secure, point-in-time data copies designed for cyber resiliency scenarios. We'll examine how GDPS coordinates storage, operating system, and middleware technologies to deliver integrated protection, forensic analysis, and recovery workflows using vaulted LCP copies. This presentation also includes updates from prior sessions, highlighting new scheduling options, best practices, and verification techniques to help ensure your cyber recovery strategy is resilient, testable, and operationally sound.
The z/VM ESI project provides a streamlined installation process for z/VM, along with a Linux system which we call the ELAN -- Express Linux Automation and Networking. Development of the ELAN is moving more Open, and this session talks about the changes to the development process, and what is currently included in the ELAN. We will also preview some exciting enhancements, along with new functions and deployment options!
This session will describe how to configure and use the CMS Shared File System. Administration, space management, and security will be discussed. A modern approach to managing SFS will also be demonstrated.
