Hello, GnanaShekar.
Welcome to the wonderful world of z/VM and zLinux; I think you will find
it a very friendly and easy to use environment.
To see how many guests (virtual machines) are running running, try this
command:
CP Q Names
This will show you a list of all of the virtual machines (guests) that
are currently running and whither or not they are connected to a console
(terminal) or not (DSC -- disconnected). Guests do not need to be
connected to a console for them to continue to run.
A good place for someone new to z/VM to start is to take a look at this
IBM document: "Introduction to the New Mainframe: z/VM Basics". You can
download a free copy from here:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg247316.html?Open
Good luck and do not be afraid to ask any more questions that you might
have here on the list......we really do enjoy helping new comers get to
know z/VM!
Have a good one.

Hi,
I am a newbie to IBM systemz / Mainframe / zVM / zLinux. However I am
familiar to IBM system p, AIX and LPAR / virtualization in AIX.
I have been given a username / password for zVM; and my client wants me to
find out all the different partitions / guests that are existing.
A long time ago somebody has setup linux guests on zVM and they have used
zLinux in the project.
We donot have a record of what was done earlier in relation to zVM / zLinux
setup.
I am clueless. So thought of taking help from this forum.
This is what appears for my zVM login.
