This task describes how to create an operating
system instance in an existing z/VM virtual server, using operating system
templates.
Before you start:- The z/VM virtual server must already exist.
- You need an operating system template.
- z/VM Center can only manage a single operating system for
each z/VM virtual server. You cannot perform this task for a z/VM virtual
server for which z/VM Center is already aware of an operating system. You
need to de-register an existing operating system instance before you can create
a new operating system instance with z/VM Center.
Complete the following steps to create an operating
system instance:
- If it is not started already, start the Virtual Server
Deployment task for the z/VM System you want to work with.
- In the z/VM System navigation tree, expand the z/VM Virtual Servers
node to display the existing z/VM virtual servers.
- Expand the node that represents the z/VM virtual server on which
you want to create an operating system instance.
- Select the Operating Systems node below the z/VM virtual server
node.
If an operating system instance on the
z/VM virtual server is already known to z/VM Center, it is shown in the right
pane. In this case, you need to de-register the known operating system instance
before you can continue with this task.
- Click New to start the Create
Operating System wizard.
- Follow the instructions in the wizard.
