Hercules is an open source software implementation of the mainframeSystem/370 and ESA/390 architectures, in addition to the new 64-bitz/Architecture. Hercules runs under Linux, Windows (98, NT, 2000, and XP),Solaris, FreeBSD,and Mac OS X (10.3 and later).
Hercules.exe -f 370.cnf You will get a screen with a ' prompt. Next run your 3270 terminal program, and attach to the localhost port 3270. Back at the Hercules console type in: ipl 580 With any luck you'll see the following in your 3270 emulator: VM/370 DASD DUMP/RESTORE PROGRAM RELEASE 6 ENTER CARD READER ADDRESS OR CONTROL STATEMENTS. How to run Debian under Hercules would definitely be on-topic here, since Hercules is a software emulation of the hardware on which Debian for s390x was designed to run. If your question regards how to run Debian in a virtual machine under z/VM, that would also be on topic. But questions about how to run z/VM under Hercules are not on topic.
Hercules is OSI Certified Open Source Softwarelicensed under the terms of the Q Public Licence.
Hercules was created by Roger Bowler and is maintained by Jay Maynard.Jan Jaeger designed and implemented many of the advanced features ofHercules, including dynamic reconfiguration, integrated console,interpretive execution and z/Architecture support. A dedicated crew ofprogrammers is constantly at work implementing new features and fixing bugs.

“For anyone thinking running Hercules is too much trouble or too hardor whatever, I came home from work one day and my 13 year old 8thgrade son had MVS running under VM under Hercules on Linux. He hadgotten all the information about how to do this from the Internet.When he complained about MVS console configuration and figuring outhow to get it to work with VM, I knew he had felt all the pain heever needed to feel about mainframes.”
—Scott Ledbetter, StorageTek

The Subversion source code repository
The complete source code for the current development version ofHercules is also available via anonymous access from our Subversion sourcecode repository. The Subversion URL is:
Doing a checkout on module 'hercules' will get you the source for all ofHercules. You'll want to check out the trunk, instead of the wholerepository:
svn checkout svn://svn.hercules-390.org/hercules/trunk hercules
(The last hercules specifies the directory the checked out copy isplaced into.)Please note that this will get you the currentdevelopment version of Hercules, which is notrelease quality and thus might not even work (since it's still underdevelopment). If you want the current, stable, release versionof Hercules (i.e. one that is known to work properly), then use thepreviously mentioned links instead.
Please read the file README.CVS included with the source for additional and updatedinstructions for building the development version.

Installing Z Vm On Hercules Full
This course
introduces the system programmer to the tasks required to support a z/VM
operating system. It provides an overview of the processes required to install
z/VM and perform the required tailoring steps to support Linux guest systems
and CMS users. You will leave the course with the knowledge to perform the
steps to add Linux guest systems and other virtual machines to the z/VM system,
to define and create saved segments, to apply service to the z/VM system, and
to define a minimal TCP/IP configuration.
