To obtain kernel dumps of Linux on IBM® Z instances, you can use the tools described, for example, kdump or VMDUMP. You can use DASD, tape, or SCSI dump devices.

Find more details in the updated doc for RHEL 9.2
"Using the Dump Tools on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2"

As promised, I finally got that basic walk-through tutorial of setting up a #CircleCI Machine Runner for s390x running on a free of charge CircleCI account and IBM #LinuxONE Community Cloud instance published.

Enjoy! https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/blogs/elizabeth-k-joseph1/2023/08/01/circleci-self-hosted-runner-for-linuxone-tutorial #IBMZ

The book

"IBM LinuxONE For Dummies"

helps you understand the value of running Linux on mainframe architecture compared to other platforms.

Last month I was super focused on the Open #Mainframe Project Summit CFP, but now I'm on to another, the CFP for IBM zDay!

As always (since our launch of the event in 2019), it's a virtual event, and free. The CFP is open through July 31st: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/blogs/mingmay-pang2/2023/06/29/ibm-zday-call-for-papers-submission-deadline

I'm one of the leads for the Sustainability track, but I'm part of the core team that takes a look at everything, so please, propose your best mainframe breakthroughs, tutorials, and creative ideas! #IBMzDay #IBMZ #LinuxONE

It's by very specific request right now on a special part of our IBM #LinuxONE Open Source Software Community Cloud, but...

WE HAVE #DEBIAN 11! :debian:

We're still going to nudge projects to our traditional trio, but there have been cases where Debian really is a better fit, and I'm thrilled that we can support that now.

Are you an open source interested in releasing your software for s390x and need some resources? We have a program for that: https://www.ibm.com/community/z/open-source/virtual-machines-request/

My friends from the content design team just published a new security video for Linux on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE:

“TLS connections with Crypto Express”.

See how to generate a private key within a Crypto Express adapter of IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE.
Then learn how to configure your cryptographic stack to use this key for a Web server’s TLS operation.
