You can activate the z/VM Server Complexes task on a single z/VM
object.
Before you begin: z/VM Center and its Server Complexes subtask
are not necessarily included in each IBM Director setup.
Depending on the platform where your IBM Director Server is
installed, you may need to install the z/VM Center as an optional feature
or as an extension of IBM Director.
You can only open the Server Complexes task for the a specific
z/VM system. Starting from the IBM Director Console console,
perform these steps:
- Locate the z/VM System you want to work with in the Group Contents
pane.
Tip: Select z/VM Systems in the Groups pane
so it only displays z/VM Systems in the Group Contents pane.
- If the z/VM System you want to work with is not shown in the Group
Contents pane, you might need to run a managed object discovery. Perform
these steps to discover z/VM system managed objects:
- In the Group Contents pane, right-click an empty space below
the listed z/VM systems.
- Click All Systems and Devices → Discover Systems
→ z/VM Systems.
- If you are not logged on to the z/VM system you want to work with,
you need to log on now. The z/VM systems you are not logged onto
are marked with a padlock icon. Perform these steps to log on:
- Right-click the z/VM system, then click Request Access.
- In the Request Access window, specify your credentials for the
Manageability Access Point on that z/VM.
- Right-click the z/VM system, then click z/VM Center
→ Server Complexes.
Note: Alternatively, you can also start the Server Complexes task
by:
- Expanding the z/VM Center task in the Task pane and dragging the z/VM
Server Complexes task onto the z/VM system in the Group Contents pane, or
- Dragging the z/VM system in the Group Contents pane onto the z/VM Server
Complexes task in the Tasks pane.
