Red Hat has two released products:

Red Hat Linux 7.2 for S/390 (31bit):
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/s390/

Red Hat Linux 7.1 for zSeries (64bit):
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.1/en/os/s390x/

We have completely untested and unsupported and probably horrible broken
uploads at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/s390*. If you
don't already know how to look at those, please don't start doing this.

greetings,
