z/VM DCSS device driver

6.18 z/VM guest

The z/VM® discontiguous saved segments (DCSS) device driver provides disk-like fixed block access to z/VM discontiguous saved segments.

Through DCSSs, you can implement shared read-write RAM disks for Linux® instances that run as guests of the same z/VM system. Such RAM disks can provide shared file systems.

For information about DCSS, see z/VM: Saved Segments Planning and Administration, SC24-6322.

Removed information: References to execute-in-place technology have been removed because changed dependencies make this technology experimental.
