           Tracy Dean

10:00 a.m. OMEGAMON XE on z/VM and Linux 
           Mac Holloway
           IBM
 
           Abstract
 
           z/VM is critical to the growing use of Linux
           on System z.  Managing this environment requires
           insight into resource consumption at the z/VM
           level and at the Linux guest level.  IBM's
           product offerings provide an integrated way to
           monitor (and manage) these performance character-
           istics.  This presentation will discuss the
           current offerings and the new IBM OMEGAMON XE
           on z/VM and Linux, which IBM preview announced
           in August, 2006.

11:05 a.m. Performance and System Management Scenarios 
           Tracy Dean,
           Mac Holloway
           IBM
 
           Abstract
 
           Management, including automation, often spans
           products and activities.  These exist within a
           larger automation infrastructure and product set.
 
           This session will introduce scenarios that
           involve the integration of IBM z/VM system and
           performance management products, including IBM
           Operations Manager for z/VM and the recently preview
           announced IBM OMEGAMON XE on z/VM and Linux

 1:30 p.m. TCP/IP Routing as Implemented in z/VM TCP/IP 
           Alan Altmark
           IBM
 
           Abstract
 
           This session provides detailed information on TCP/IP
           routing, as implemented in z/VM TCP/IP.  In the first
           hour, we focus on the basics:  low-level LAN communi-
           cation, ARP and IPv4 addressing and subnetting.  In
           the second hour, we'll "kick it up a notch" and look
           at packet routing examples, dynamic vs. static routing,
           MPRoute, Virtual IP Addressing (VIPA), and z/VM
           virtual network design.  The mysteries of coding the
           "classic" Gateway and MPROUTE configuration statements
           will be revealed, as well as an introduction to the
           new, simpler syntax introduced in z/VM 5.2
