A paper on Linux-HA on mainframes

[Alan Robertson]

IBM has published a Red paper with a lot of Linux-HA information entitled:

Linux on IBM zSeries and S/390: High Availability for z/VM and Linux

It is available online here:
http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedpaperAbstracts/redp0220.html


It contains good information on configuring the Linux-HA software itself,
and good information on configuring it properly in the zSeries environment.
   I've added a link to it from the Linux-HA web site.

 From the web site abstract:

This paper provides information to help readers plan for and install a high
availability solution for Linux for zSeries running under z/VM. It is
written for customers, technical presale people, and technical managers, to
help them to discuss the high availability possibilities of a Linux for
zSeries environment running under z/VM and to guide them in implementing a
solution.

It looks like they did a nice job on it.

As a note, I have a reasonable prospect of being able to get zSeries
binaries for us - when I remember to ask them ;-)

Thanks To Bruce Hayden for pointing this paper out to me!
