and Brian Wade - IBM - NVMe Function and Support on LoZ and z/VM
NVMe EDEVICE support allows Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) devices connected via PCI Express (PCIe) adapters to be defined and managed as Fixed-Block Architecture (FBA) emulated devices (EDEVICEs). This enables the high throughput and low latency of these devices to be exploited but presents some challenges in the area of device management. The architecture and design of the implementation will be described, some performance results will be presented, and the current project status and outlook will be described.

- IBM
- DR_DRCT: A Journey with the USER DIRECTory
When systems grow, the size and complexity of the user directory grows along with it. A new release means new virtual machines in the directory. When setting up a new system it may be convenient to clone a directory, but then changes are required. You can write tools to make directory modification tasks easier. The DR_DRCT package on the z/VM Download page includes some such tools; it also represents an education on capabilities of the directory. We take a tour of those tools, the motivation behind them, and some of that education.
