I am reviewing z/VM Version 5.1 âGuide for Automated Installation and Serviceâ installation instructions in preparation of our VM server for Linux. We requested z/VM on a DVD. We are currently running an IBM 2066-002 and this is our first exposure to VM, being z/OS gurus, and Linux newbies.
On page 70 of the manual, under heading STEP 1. Load the RAMDISK from the Processor HMC, step 2, it talks about the Integrated 3270 Console. We do not have this option. Why? How do we get it? An excerpt follows: On the Hardware Management Console, bring up an Integrated 3270 Console for the LPAR you are using to install. a. From the Hardware Management Console Workplace window, double click on Groups. b. From the GROUPS WORK AREA window, double click on CPC IMAGES. c. From the CPC IMAGES WORK AREA window, highlight the LPAR on which you are going to install. d. From the CPC RECOVERY window, double click on Integrated 3270 console. The Integrated 3270 console window is displayed, which is where the messages are displayed when the system IPLs. We do not have any 3174 controllers for our z/VM LPAR. Will we require any? Once we find this Integrated 3270 Console, can we use that? Thanks for any info you can provide. Peter E.
