As a long-time VMer, I have tested almost everything is another virtual
machine, from MVT through MVS to z/OS, and VM, VSE and now Linux. I do not
need another LPAR as long as I have the real resources, memory, DASD, CPU to
handle the test workload plus some overhead. If you need to test a new level
of Websphere under linux, you do not require a test z/VM with the test linux
under that, too many levels of virtualization, just use a separate linux
virtual machine.

first please don't flame me. I know this is to talk about z/OS not VM but
had a question. You can reply to me off-line if you want.
We are starting to run Linux under z/VM for applications we will be porting
over to it as away to consolidate work. Since my unit is responsible for
the mainframe and the OS we also do z/VM installs etc. I am asking for a
test environment for z/Vm so if new versions come out of Websphere/ Linux
or z/VM we have a place to put it on. The person doing it said no the best
thing to do is run the new version a second level VM system and we can test
anything new in it.
Im trying to find out for shops out there running z/VM do they have a test
platform as in separate LPAR or how are they handling this? What is best
practices in this area. I know for z/OS we have our test lab and sysplex
just for the system programmers.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Andy
