Lab: Managing a LinuxONE, z/VM, and Linux on z Systems Environment Using IBM Solutions

Project and Program: Linux & VM, VM

Tags: Proceedings , SHARE Atlanta 2016 , 2016

In this lab, you'll have the choice of several administration, monitoring, automation and backup/recovery scenarios for z/VM and Linux on z Systems guests, including those running on LinuxONE, using the following tools that make up the IBM Infrastructure Suite for z/VM and Linux product: • IBM Operations Manager for z/VM
• IBM Backup and Restore Manager for z/VM
• IBM Wave for z/VM
• IBM OMEGAMON XE on z/VM and Linux
• IBM Tivoli Storage Manager


Examples of some of the labs: • Viewing and interacting with service machine and Linux guest consoles
• Taking an action based on a console message
• Monitoring user ID's for logoff status and taking an action
• Monitoring spool space
• Monitoring page space
• View the overall performance of the z/VM system
• View the overall performance of Linux virtual machine
• Determine what resources on the system are under constraint by virtual machines
• Work with projects and create prototypes
• Clone a virtual machine from the prototype created by student
• Create backup jobs for complex backups of minidisks, SFS filespaces, and DASD volumes
• Perform a simple backup to disk
• Find data that has been backed up and restore it
