Use this wizard to create an new virtual server template. This topic describes the fields on the two wizard pages: the Instance Specifics page and the Name page.
Although allowed, avoid using: @ #
The generated user IDs all commence with the specified base name of alphanumeric and permitted special characters. A trailing * (asterisk) is replaced by digits that are counted up from zero. When a user ID is generated, the first free ID is assigned that matches the pattern.
The more digits are covered by the wildcard character, the greater is the number of unique user IDs that can be provided. If the specified user ID pattern, including wildcard, is less than eight characters, the generated names are padded with zeros.
Avoid using patterns that resolve to z/VM commands and reserved user IDs. Refer to z/VM® CP Command and Utility Reference, SC24-6081, for more information.
This password is applicable only for installations that do not use Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) for security. You need this password only if you want to use a 3270 terminal to log on to the z/VM guest virtual machine with the user ID of the User ID field.
Classes A-H are predefined but can be modified for a particular installation; the remaining classes are always installation-specific. Refer to CP Planning and Administration, SC24-6083, chapter 16 "Redefining Command Privilege Classes" for details.
If you are using z/VM Directory Maintenance Facility (DirMaint) as your z/VM directory manager, refer to the DIRMaint Add command in z/VM Directory Maintenance Facility Commands Reference, SC24-6133, for more details.
You can assign any amount of initial memory from 64 KB to the architectural limit of 16 EB. The default is 512 MB.
The value must be a number directly followed by one of the letters K (for kilo), M (for mega), G (for giga), or T (for tera). Be sure to assign memory that is within the hardware capabilities in terms of available real and virtual storage.
Example: The specification "256K" would allocate 256 KB = 262 144 Byte of initial virtual memory.
The maximum memory size must be in the range from the initial memory size to the architectural limit of 16 EB. The default is 512 MB.
The maximum memory size must be equal to or greater than the initial memory size The value must be a number directly followed by one of the letters K (for kilo), M (for mega), G (for giga), or T (for tera). Be sure to assign memory that is within the hardware capabilities in terms of available real and virtual storage.
Example: The specification "1G" would limit the amount of memory that the z/VM virtual server can claim to 1 GB = 1 073 741 824 Byte.
