Starting the Virtual Server Deployment task

This topic describes how to start working with the Virtual Server Deployment task.

Before you start: z/VM Center and its subtask Virtual Server Deployment are not necessarily included in each IBM Director setup. Depending on the platform where your IBM Director Server is installed, you must install z/VM Center as an optional feature or as an extension of IBM Director.

To be able to use z/VM Center, you also must purchase and install a license key. For more details see the z/VM Center setup information in the IBM Director information center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r2/topic/diricinfo/vsd0_t_prepare.html.

You always open the Virtual Server Deployment task for the scope of a specific z/VM system. Starting from the IBM Director Console, complete these steps:

  1. Locate the z/VM System you want to work with in the Group Contents pane.

    Tip: Select z/VM Systems in the Groups pane to only display 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. Complete these steps to discover z/VM systems:

    1. In the Group Contents pane, right-click into an empty space.
    2. Click Discover → z/VM Systems.
  2. If you are not logged on to the z/VM system you want to work with, you need to log on now. z/VM systems that you are not logged on to, are marked with a padlock icon (Server denied access to device, but access is requestable). Complete these steps to log on:
    1. Right-click the z/VM system; then click Request access....
    2. In the Request Access window, specify your credentials for the Manageability Access Point on that z/VM.
  3. Right-click the z/VM system; then click z/VM Center → z/VM Virtual Server Deployment.
註: Alternatively, you can also start the Virtual Server Deployment task by:
  • Expanding the z/VM Center task in the Task pane and dragging the z/VM Virtual Server Deployment task onto the z/VM system in the Group Contents pane.
  • Dragging the z/VM system in the Group Contents pane onto the z/VM Virtual Server Deployment task in the Tasks pane.
