Chapter 4. Installing and configuring z/VM
z/VM can be installed first level from tape, from DVD, or from an FTP server. Installing from
tape is not described in this book. However, installing from the physical media of DVDs, or
without physical media, from an FTP server, are.
To complete this chapter, you must complete the majority of Chapter 6, “Configuring an
NFS/FTP server” on page 97. If you are installing z/VM from an FTP server, you should
complete 4.1, “Installing z/VM from DVD or FTP server” on page 28, then complete
Chapter 6, “Configuring an NFS/FTP server” on page 97.
We recommend that you start here, because there is a step when installing z/VM (instdvd)
that can take two or more hours to complete. While that process is running, you can complete
Chapter 6, “Configuring an NFS/FTP server” on page 97. Alternatively, if you have other
personnel who can work on the project, you can start both chapters at the same time on the
different systems.
This chapter consists of the following sections that should be completed:
“Installing z/VM from DVD or FTP server” on page 28
“Configuring TCP/IP” on page 41
“Configuring the XEDIT profile” on page 43
“Customizing the SYSTEM CONFIG file” on page 44
“Configuring TCP/IP to start at IPL time” on page 46
“Adding paging volumes” on page 50
“Creating a user ID for common files” on page 56
In addition, there are optional sections:
“Addressing z/VM security issues” on page 64
“Backing up your z/VM system to tape” on page 66
“Relabeling system volumes” on page 66
“Restoring your z/VM system from tape” on page 72
