Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE Device Drivers, Features, and Commands on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5
Special device drivers are available on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5 to control IBM IBM Z devices and attachments. There are also special commands and parameters for configuring on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5.
In case you are running EDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS) on Linux on IBM zSystems, you may want ot have a look on Marc's blog post regarding a new performance tuning guide:
Elizabeth K. JosephIn April we also noted that JetBrains has included s390x in their Habitat Detector and @almalinux is including it in their #openQA deployment https://openqa.almalinux.org/
Plus, Tyk & VictoriaMetrics were confirmed building for s390x by v1gnesh! #LinuxONE #zSystems #mainframe
The s390x open source team at IBM works to get the latest versions of open source software running for #Linux on IBM #zSystems & #LinuxONE
In April 2023 currency was maintained for over two dozen projects, including: ScyllaDB HashiCorp's #Terraform & Apache ActiveMQ
The Device Drivers, Features, and Commands publication for
Kernel 6.2
is live on #IBM Docs for IBM Z and IBM #LinuxONE .
It includes descriptions on
• The CPU Processor Activity Instrumentation Facility to obtain counter data for specific cryptographic and analytic instructions.
• Site-specific extensions and overrides for Linux boot and device configurations.
• DASDs with copy-pair relations.
• Hotplug support for AP queues in KVM guests.
