QEMU s390x Guest Support

QEMU supports running s390x (aka zSystems aka mainframe) guests via the s390-virtio-ccw machine.

Supported Devices

The s390-virtio-ccw machine emulates a virtual channel subsystem. Currently, only virtio-ccw proxy devices (for most virtio device types) are supported.

As a console device, supported types are SCLP VT220-compatible (preferred), SCLP line-mode or virtio-serial console.

Suggested command-line

 qemu-system-s390x -M s390-ccw-virtio -kernel kernel.debian -initrd initrd.debian -m 512 -nographic
