This topic describes how to prepare a Linux instance to serve as a master operating system. A master operating system is required for creating operating system templates.
Complete these steps outside z/VM Center to make a Linux instance into a master Linux system:
For more details, refer to the z/VM Center installation and conceptional information in the IBM Director information center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r2/topic/diricinfo/vsd0_t_prepare.html and http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r2/topic/diricinfo/vsd0_c_concepts.html
If the Linux instance was installed outside z/VM Center, you need to register it before you can use it to create an operating system template.
