So, my RACF question and all the answers y'all gave made me think of another... What do your operators do within z/VM? The reason I ask is because we haven't given our operations staff access to any of our z/VMs. What am I missing? Why do they need access? What should they be doing and aren't? (Mind you, we are zLinux only.) Leland The information contained in this e-mail and any accompanying documents may contain information that is confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
