− | [http://www.vm.ibm.com/ z/VM] is an IBM VM hypervisor based on 64-bit z/Architecture, and now with multi-system virtualization and virtual server mobility. z/VM is designed to allow the capability for clients to run hundreds to thousands of Linux servers on a single mainframe running with other System z operating systems, such as z/OS, or as a large-scale linux-only enterprise server solution.

− | [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Main_Page xCAT] can be used to manage virtual servers spanning across multiple z/VM partitions. The xCAT management node (MN) runs on any Linux virtual server. It manages each z/VM partition using a System z hardware control point (zHCP) running on a privileged Linux virtual server. The zHCP interfaces with z/VM systems management API (SMAPI), directory manager (DirMaint), and control program layer (CP) to manage the z/VM partition. It utilizes a C socket interface to communicate with the SMAPI layer and VMCP Linux module to communicate with the CP layer.
