Thanks much!
I've always found it confusing the way the various documents are
organized on vm.ibm.com/library. I'd LOVE to be able to (for example)
click z/VM 5.4 and be presented with a list of ALL documents for z/VM5.4
and ALL versions of ALL LPP's versioned for 5.4, with the system
determining which version was current for the selected release (even if
it hasn't been updated in many years). I'm a 25+ year VM veteran, so I
know what to look for (and often where to look, but not always!) but I'm
trying to imagine a VM newbie trying to understand that he'll find the
z/VM "core" documents in one place, the Program Directories in another,
and the LPP doc any number of places (and sometimes they don't exist at
all, e.g. SC26-7181-03 IBM Extended Facilities Product, Installation for
VM, Version 2 Release 1 - it's a VM document and I believe IFXP is still
supported, but good luck trying to find it on vm.ibm.com/library in any
of the various sections).
Just food for thought on future changes to the library. Pretend you are
a newbie and try to find some documents, particularly older documents.
:)
-Mike

Subject: Re: z/VM 5.4 Guide For Automated Installation and Service
Hello Mike,
I was able to pull a few strings and have the z/VM V5.4 Guide for
Automated Installation and Service, as well as the two summaries, added
directly to the z/VM library page.
The reason why you cannot find them as part of the PDF library is
because that library contains the contents of the z/VM collection on
CD-ROM. The installation publications are not part of the z/VM
collection due to the nature of their schedules.
Going forward, you will be able to find them on the z/VM library page,
in the z/VM information center, or through the IBM Publications Center.

Hi Rich,
THANKS so much! And yup, if you go to the Information Center and THEN
click Available PDF Docs from there, it's on the list. If you just
select the PDF Library for z/VM 5.4 from www.vm.ibm.com/library it is
not.
Now I don't have to wait for Fedex to delivery my hardcopy! :)

somewhere and I'm just not seeing it?
It's definitely not in the 5.4 PDF Library. When I look in the
Additional z/VM Publications area I can find a 5.3 version, but no
5.4........... (has this Guide not changed for 5.4?).
-Thanks
