Keeping an operating system configuration up-to-date (re-register)

If you change an operating system instance outside z/VM Center, you need to inform z/VM Center about the changes.

z/VM Center cannot detect configuration changes you make to an operating system instance. If you want to use an operating system instance as a source for an operating system template, z/VM Center needs up-to-date configuration data. The data that needs to be up-to-date corresponds to the data that is created when an operating system instance is registered.

Complete the following steps to re-register an operating system instance:

  1. If it is not started already, start the Virtual Server Deployment task for the z/VM System you want to work with.
  2. In the z/VM System resource tree, expand the z/VM Virtual Servers node to display a list of z/VM virtual servers.
  3. Expand the node for the z/VM virtual server you want to work with; then expand the Operating Systems node below it.
  4. 選擇性的: Expand the node for the z/VM virtual server on which the operating system instance that you want to re-register is installed. If there is no operating system instance below the Operating Systems node, none has been installed on the z/VM virtual server or the operating system has been installed outside the Virtual Server Deployment task and has not been registered.
  5. Select and right-click the Operating Systems node; then click Re-Register Operating System to start the Re-Register Operating System wizard.
  6. Make updates that describe your configuration changes as you proceed through the Re-Register Operating System wizard.
After re-registering an operating system instance that has been installed using an operating system template, the re-registered operating system instance is no longer considered to have been derived from the template.
