About Course
This course introduces the system programmer to the tasks required to support a z VM operating system It gives an overview of the processes that are required to install z VM and to do the required tailoring steps to support guest operating system virtual machines and CMS users The students will leave the course with the knowledge to do the steps for adding guest systems and other virtual machines to the z VM system to apply service to the z VM system and to define a minimal TCP IP configuration Also this course is designed to teach the implementation of SUSE RedHat and Ubuntu distributions of Linux on IBM Z and on LinuxONE This course is intended for IT professionals who will be responsible for the support of guests and other virtual machines that run in the z VM environment It assumes that these persons have little or no experience in the z VM environment Also this course is intended for anyone responsible for installing customizing and maintaining Linux on IBM Z and on LinuxONE After completing this course you should be able to Describe the process of running guests under z VM Describe the z VM installation process on IBM Z and LinuxONE Define virtual machines to z VM and reload the directory Customize the CP component of the z VM system Customize the TCP IP files on z VM Describe the Linux installation process on z VM for SUSE RedHat and Ubuntu Apply service to the z VM system Describe the system management process for Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE Describe backup and recovery procedures for Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE Manage and update network connectivity issues for Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE Implement the z VM Performance Toolkit Basic computer skills and knowledge IBM Z Systems and Mainframe z VM and Linux Unix
