Well, I'll add my 2 cents. As a shop with VM in it for about 20 years, we don't want IBM to put a lot of effort into SAF and such. The first thing we do is pull out RACF and DIRMAINT and put it VM:Secure. We do appreciate the 1 page install sheet though because we tend to do a couple of

If you followed the following install a 2nd z/VM under the first and to activate SAF there so that you have a real z/VM to learn with as you can't guarantee that there is an available LPAR to install z/VM in for experimentation. Then your production Linux/390 would be running under a 2nd

My notes say that I had to issue vmfsetup zvm cp before I ran the VMADMCTL command. Be aware that there are a LOT of limitations to SAF and if you are planning to eventually migrate to a native z/VM environment you will need a second z/VM running somewhere else to learn on as you won't be able
