 9:00 a.m. Architecting VM and Linux for WebSphere 
           Steve Wehr
           VM Development, IBM
 
           Abstract
 
           An introduction to setting up an infrastructure
           that will allow WebSphere applications ro run
           efficiently on Linux for zSeries.  This infra-
           structure consists of LPARS running on VM, running
           multiple Linux guests, each running WebSphere,
           running your applications.  This presentation tells
           you how to start setting up such an architecture,
           how to make these parts work together optimally, and
           how to allocate memory between all of the systems
           involved.

10:15 a.m. Using Bacula to Backup Your Linux Instances
           Scott Courtney

           Abstract
 
           Due to the late addition of this session, an abstract
           is not available.
 
 

11:15 a.m. z/VM Update
           Damian Osisek
           IBM
 
           Abstract
 
           Catch the latest breaking news on z/VM product
           enhancements.  This session will provide you with  a
           high level overview of the new z/VM Version 5.2
           product announcement.  z/VM V5.2 offers new, leading
           edge virtualization capabilities and a pricing
           model that will help enterprises more easily exploit
           the "on demand" capabilities of IBM System z9 and
           eServer zSeries virtualization technology

 2:00 p.m. Enhanced 64-bit Exploitation in z/VM 5.2.0
           Damian Osisek
           IBM
 
           Abstract
 
 
           Perhaps the most significant enhancement in the z/VM
           5.2 Control Program is improved use of large real
           storage.  Prior releases of z/VM could only make limited
           use of storage above the 2GB line, because most CP
           code operated with 31-bit real addresses. One notable
           restriction was that all pages locked for I/O had to
           reside below 2GB, thus limiting the effective I/O
           bandwidth of a z/VM system and incurring overhead to
           move pages back and forth across the 2GB line.  Several
           years' development culminate in z/VM 5.2, which includes
           dramatic changes in the storage management and I/O
           infrastructure to alleviate these constraints.  As a
           consequence, z/VM 5.2 can make effective use of much
           larger main storage sizes, and more or larger guests
           can be supported by a single z/VM image.  These changes
           also pave the way for advanced virtualization support
           in zSeries and z9 processors, such as I/O passthrough
           for V=V guests and Collaborative Memory Management.
           This presentation will describe the changes to the
           z/VM CP storage management design to accomplish these
           goals, the challenges faced in developing and testing
           the solution, and some considerations for vendor and
           customer CP modifications and tools.
