It wasn't when i tried to figure it out a couple of years ago. I don't think
that's changed.

We already have the server set up and have used it in the past for z/VM 6.3
second level installs. We were just trying to follow the procedure documented
in the "Virtualization Cookbook for z/VM 6.3".

Since z/VM is one of the few operating systems that can actually access the DVD

Just change the directory entry for your sandbox LINUX to something like
this.
USER zlinuxname zlinuxpass 4G 4G G
Don't worry too much about the performance for now, that can always be
tuned later.
If you don't know how to edit the directory come back and I am sure someone
can walk you through

Yep, there are options.
If you want your intended server to have 4GB of memory, it's going to eat up
most of the storage you have defined as central.
Are you running any other servers in the same z/VM LPAR, and is the z/VM memory
backed up with any page space?
Before adding any memory to your i
Yes I can shutdown the servers linux and or vm if need be. I looked on the HMC

Hi Matt,
Couple of questions.
1. You mention your servers were intended as a sandbox. Does this mean you can
shut down the intended server?
2. Does your z/VM LPAR have real memory to give?
The easiest way to add more memory would be to shutdown the intended server,
add more memory to the serve
We are running z/vm 6.0 with 2 RH 5.5 servers that was intended as a sand box
for an application that never launched several years ago. We are now looking at
testing an application that calls for 4GB memory to run. The intended server
only has 1GB, pls see below. I am a newbie at best with vm /

I would go with the latter possibility. :)

Hi Mark/All,
Thank you so much.
So I believe I need to punch LINUX file instead of VMRDR
'PUNCH VMRDRIKR I (NOH'
If RC <> 0 Then Exit RC
'PUNCH PARMFILE CA I (NOH'
If RC <> 0 Then Exit RC
'PUNCH INITRD $DEFAULT I (NOH'
If RC <> 0 Then Exit RC

Because that changed with SLES12 to be consistent with the other architectures.

Hi Mark,
Thanks but not sure why our SUSE directory does not have the linux file in
it, but I can see INITRD and PARMFILE.(z/VM).

Hi,

PARMFILE AUTOYAST X1 F
PARMFILE CA X1 F
PARMFILE $DEFAULT X1 V
INITRD $DEFAULT X1 F
VMRDRIKR X1 F
So is that PARMFILE,INITRD and VMRDR files alone to be transferred ?

Hello Group,
Are there anyone who have built SLES12 gold image yet ? I have performed
RHEL70 gold image but this is the first time I am going to do the SUSE 12
image.
For the SLES 12 gold image :
1 ) Is it the same three files : GENERIC.PRM,INITIRD and KERNEL to be
transferred to the z/VM ?
