Multiple Virtual Storage, more commonly called MVS, is the most commonly used operating system on the System/370, System/390 and IBM Z IBM mainframe computers. IBM developed MVS, along with OS/VS1 and SVS, as a successor to OS/360. It is unrelated to IBM's other mainframe operating system lines, e.g., VSE, VM, TPF.
All releases of OS/VS2 were available to no charge because the software cost was bundled with the hardware cost. OS/VS2 Release 3.8 was the last free release of MVS. In the late seventies and early eighties IBM announced: 5740-XE1 MVS/System Extensions (MVS/SE) MVS/SE improves the performance and RAS of OS/VS2 (MVS)

Input/Output Configuration Program (IOCP) [4] [5] [6] is a program for IBM mainframes that compiles a description of the Channel Subsystem and LPAR [7] configuration, optionally loading it into an Input/Output Configuration Data Set (IOCDS); it recognizes the syntax of MVS Configuration Program (MVSCP) [8] input, and there is no need to ...
Job Control Language (JCL) is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems to instruct the system on how to run a batch job or start a subsystem. [1] The purpose of JCL is to say which programs to run, using which files or devices [2] for input or output, and at times to also indicate under what conditions to skip a step.
Basic Direct Access Method, or BDAM is an access method for IBM's OS/360 and successors computer operating systems on System/360 and later mainframes. BDAM "consists of routines used in retrieving data from, and storing data onto, direct access devices." [1]: p.5 BDAM is available on OS/360, OS/VS2, MVS, z/OS, and related high-end operating ...
IBM Communications Server – Provides Virtual Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM) and TCP/IP communications protocols An additional benefit of the OS/390 packaging concept was to improve reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) for the operating system, as the number of different combinations of elements that a customer could ...
On April 6, 1994, IBM introduced MVS/ESA System Product (MVS/ESA SP) Version 5 Release 1, [5] which included MVS OpenEdition (MVS-OE) with HFS as a standard component. IBM continued providing HFS through z/OS 2.4 for z System mainframes. IBM functionally stabilized HFS starting with z/OS 1.7, in 2005. [6] The z/OS File System (zFS) was released ...
