General issues with Linux™ on IBM® mainframe systems

This topic discusses general issues related to running DevOps Code ClearCase® 7.0 and later on IBM® mainframes running Linux™.

The following are known limitations:
  • Symmetric Multiprocessing. The Linux™ kernel as distributed by SuSE contains support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP). It is possible to build a kernel without this support, but the SMP kernel is the only one supported for ClearCase®.
  • There is no Web browser support for SuSE Linux™ for the S/390® and zSeries®.
