Hi Mike,
Thanks so much for responding. I attended your session at SHARE in
San Jose and that is how I knew about the sheet. I have reviewed the
packing information and on the sheet for the tapes it lists :
GA76-0407-01 z/VM Summ - Auto Install and Svc-Tape Inst
GC24-6099-04 z/VM V5R3.0 Gd for Automated Instl and Ser
GC24-6102-05 z/VM V5R3.0 License Information
and
SC24-6096-02 z/VM V5R3.0 Getting Started with Linux
all as ALREADY DELIVERED.
I've called IBM and they are shipping replacement manuals. It's very
possible a box is misplaced here - we do all this anthrax screening and
items have been known to languish there for weeks.
Thanks for reminding me to look so carefully. These manuals were not on
the shipping list for the other manuals and I did not check the packing
list for the tapes.

Susan,
I deliver the "z/VM Installation - From Cardboard Box to IPL" session at
SHARE, and point out the difference between the 2-sided tri-fold "Summary"
and the much more detailed "Guide" (the full manual). The session also
includes the URLs for the these any other IBM z/VM installation documents.
Yes, unless something has changed very recently in the z/VM 5.3 delivery,
you should have received both documents (the tri-fold "Summary" both for
Tape and DVD installations; and the full manual "Guide"). Check the
printed IBM inventory sheets that came with the order to see if they were
back-ordered (which would be rather surprising). That "checking the order"
suggestion is also in the same SHARE session. See the session handout at:
http://ew.share.org/proceedingmod/abstract.cfm?abstract_id=18663
And for those who cannot see the SHARE proceedings, that session and many
others should soon be out on: http://linuxvm.org/Present/index.html

First time z/VM
Please respond to installer

I am new to z/VM and am sure to have a lot of questions.
My first is about documentation. I did not receive a copy of the z/VM
Guide for Automated Installation and Service with my 5.3 SDO. Should I
have gotten this? It sure appears from the program directories for the
SDO and for z/VM that I should have.
I also learned at SHARE that there is a one-sheet reference for
installation and I did not get that either.
Myabe this is how SDOs are delivered but since it is all new to me I
thought I should sak.
Thanks!
Susan
