systems management API of the z/VM system. It also includes the default for
the disk pool from which the storage requirements for operating system instances
and templates are satisfied.

to access the z/VM systems management API. You cannot change this data from
z/VM Center. Specify the data as defined on the z/VM system.
Complete the following steps to edit a profile:

Deployment task for the z/VM System you want to work with.
- In the z/VM System resource tree, expand the top node. The
top node represents the z/VM system.
- Click the z/VM Profile node below the top node. If your
current access credentials are complete and valid, the z/VM Profile pane is

the z/VM systems management API in the VSMSERVE Server field.
This is usually the IP address of the z/VM TCP/IP service machine. Be sure
