Within a managed z/VM, you can create as many server complexes
as you need.
Complete the following
steps to create
a new server complex instance:
- If it is not started already, start the Server Complexes
task for the z/VM system you want to work with.
- From the Action menu, choose New server complex to
open the Create a Server Complex window.
- In the Server complex name field, type a unique name with
one to ten alphanumeric characters. Avoid non-alphanumeric characters such
as %, _, *, etc.
- From the Number of tiers drop down list, choose between
one and four tiers. The default is 1.
- (Optional) Type a name for each tier in the Tier names field.
These names are used in various places as a convenient reminder of the tier's
meaning.
- Click OK.
- The Progress Indication window shows the progress of the
action. If there is an inconsistency, you are given a choice whether to proceed
or stop. Stopping saves the new properties but doesn't apply the configuration.
After the operation is completed, click Close to close the Progress
Indication window.
The new server complex is created and shown (with empty tiers) on
the Server Complexes pane to the right of the z/VM Server Complexes window.
註: If
there is already an existing server complex with the desired name, an error
message appears and the operation is cancelled.
