vm resources provided us with a course in house for a week about 2
years ago. We kinda tailored it to our needs and I'll believe you'll
find them accommodating. They have a web site to view last I knew.
Also, some of us attended a two maybe two and half day class in
Poughkeepsie on how to install z/VM and set it up for linux. Don't
know if that is still offered.

Can any VM systems programmers recommend a good training course for
seasoned mainframe sysprogs who are expanding into z/VM? The course I am
looking for should teach how to properly install, maintain, debug, tune,
expand, plan, etc. including network, security, operations, etc. for a
serious systems programmer.
If you're a vendor/trainer, please do not respond with your sales pitch.
I want recommendations from actual users only. And, if you can only
recommend NOT going to someone's particular course, speak up please.
I worked with VM many years ago, so am aware of some of the concepts, but
don't recall many of the details. Now, we're wanting to evaluate zVM for
our Linux systems. On two occasions so far people have been signed up for
IBM education on VM, only to have the classes cancelled at the last minut

due to an insufficient number of students. So, although IBM offers what
sounds like a good class, they aren't delivering it. I could rant on abou
t
that for a while, but what's the value?
