z/VM Startup/Shutdown Best Practices

Project and Program: Linux & VM, VM

Tags: Proceedings, SHARE Phoenix 2019, 2019

Most of the time we think about how a z/VM system looks when it is running. Two keys to well running systems are starting them up and shutting them down well. This session will suggest questions to ask and answer before you startup or shutdown your z/VM systems and guests, and will provide some suggestions to help you answer them, including: What order should I start virtual machines in and how many should I start at once? What do I put in AUTOLOG1's and AUTOLOG2's profiles? How do I determine when startup and shutdown procedures are complete and/or need action to be taken? Why do I need an "orderly" shutdown of both guests and the z/VM system and how do I do that?-John Franciscovich-IBM Corporation
