Nathan, would it be a correct assumption that you consider PASE like a
virtual machine, so things running in PASE aren't native IBMi apps?
In regard to labeling PASE as a virtual machine environment, everything I
have read suggests that hardware changes could break code that runs in
PASE. The objective of a virtual machine environment would be to solve
that. Therefore PASE is not a virtual machine environment.
But I do view PASE as an operating environment - specifically PASE is a
subset of AIX.
In regard to the statement "things running in PASE aren't native IBMi
apps", I would suggest the following:
PASE is a separate operating environment, a subset of AIX, running along
side of, rather than in or on top of the IBM i virtual machine environment.
PASE utilizes teraspace storage, rather than single-level store.
PASE applications interface with IBM i, mostly communicating with IBM i
services via sockets.
PASE is more integrated with IBM i than running AIX and IBM i in separate
partitions - but more comparable to the latter in regards to how PASE
applications interface with IBM i applications via host servers.
Aaron Bartell suggested that IBM i should be priced and marketed like
Linux. I'm suggesting that the argument would be moot if people
appropriately distinguished IBM i from *nix.
