John Rankin will present an informative overview of what CSI has been designing and implementing for the last two years. CSI has spent over twenty-seven years working to support and enhance z/VSE. This presentation of indispensable new solutions, hardware optimizations, and educational This presentation of indispensable new solutions, hardware optimizations, and educational advancements will provide our customers with clear ideas for immediate improvements; and give them a glimpse into the exciting future of our z/VSE environment.
Latest news about zVSE business, status and strategy. This includes everything about our partnership with 21st Century Software, hardware and a future outlook.
After the announcement on June 1st, 2022 (source license agreement for VSE Stack), and the most recent one on March 25, 2022 (21st Century Sofware VSEn 6.3), I will share some questions and answers around VSEn 6.3 and options and benefits moving from IBM z/VSE.
The session will illustrate how crucial virtualization is for environments hosting container workloads and clouds on IBM Z and LinuxONE. Based on customer implementations it will show the flexibility and advantages using z/VM virtualization and how you can get the most of it.
With the introduction of SNMP for z/VSE some time ago, Velocity Software has been able to monitor z/VSE systems with our performance suite that runs on z/VM. We are improving and enhancing that capability to add TCP/IP monitoring and CICS monitoring. Come to this session to hear what we are doing and to see our live systems via a demo. You will also be able to follow along either in the session or post-workshop to show interested parties in your company.
In this session we will cover a fresh installation of 21C VSEn 6.3 with a walkthrough/demo and explaining the different steps, to show that it is quite similar to what you might be used to, and if you don't remember anymore, to show how simple it is.
Complex infrastructures open new threat vectors and require a comprehensive, enterprise-wide security strategy, including the VSE platform, which is adaptable and proactive, rather than chaotic and response-driven. Furthermore, integration encompasses the entire infrastructure, and requires a security solution that adheres to corporate policies, standards and customer expectations. In this session, learn how Broadcom is expanding its approach to security and taking VSE to a brand new level.
This session will provide an update of all the latest updates for customers using or considering to use Oracle running under z/VM. Customer use cases will be shared highlighting performance improvements, security setup and configuration with Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) and dm-crypt. Oracle network and I/O considerations that customers have implemented running under z/VM will be discussed as well.
In this session we will cover a Fast Service Upgrade (FSU) installation of 21C VSEn 6.3 coming from IBM z/VSE 6.2 with a walkthrough/demo and explaining the different steps, to show that it is quite similar to what you might be used to, and if you don't remember anymore, to show how simple it is.

4-member z/VM Single System Image (SSI) clusters were introduced to the industry in z/VM 6.2. Eight member SSI clusters are now on the horizon, but the key question is: "how do I get from here to there?". This session will cover some of the key details and considerations as you look to install and migrate to eight member SSI clusters.
My presentation will cover: Overview of GDPS, Detailed functions of GDPS xDR solution, Synergy between GDPS and VM, How to debug your VM GDPS environment with advanced log retrieval and analysis, How to save LinuxONE systems from an outage, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP) and GDPS.
We will review example of use cases where VSEn Connectors will help you be more efficient and/or to achieve in place modern solutions with 21C VSEn 6.3.
As our environment was growing we knew we needed to maintain a good inventory of all servers running on s390. To accomplish this, a routine was included in the startup of each linux server to capture inventory data. Over the years, we found many uses for this information.
How do you design, implement, and manage a lab environment that enables R&D, QA, and training of a global engineering team that works with multiple z/VM products? How do you safely combine volatile ingredients like "limited experience," "extraordinary privilege," and "40-plus adjacent LPARs" without setting the entire company on fire? Let's discuss the finer points of how to manage, train, and support a globally-distributed product team while still keeping body, soul, and sanity together!
