What delegates will learn Basic education on Linux for System z basics. Contents of this class Day 1: Overview and z/VM basics Overview: - Hardware types that Linux for z runs on
- The basics of the Linux operating system on System z
- Touch on applications and database management systems that run on Linux for System z
- z/VM basics with hands on labs demonstrating some of the following:
- CP and CMS Commands and Fundamentals
- XEDIT Fundamentals
- REXX Basics
- This being a beginner class, we thought of covering REXX syntax structure, basic built-in functions and some examples
- PIPELINES Basics
- same as above
Day 2: Linux basics - a System z Perspective with hands on labs that include: - Installing Linux guests?(to give an overview on how install happens and install methods like VNC, SSH, etc ... we are not considering Linux install in a LPAR mode, only z/VM guest mode)
- Log in to a Linux system and set a user password
- Use Linux on-line documentation
- Manage Linux files and directories
- Describe the purpose of the shell
- Use the vi editor
- Execute common Linux commands
- Manage Linux processes
Days 3 and 4: Installing, Configuring and Servicing z/VM for Linux Guests - This should include discussion and labs that demonstrate:
- Using the z/VM system editor
- Plan the initial installation of your z/VM system
- Modify the system configuration files
- Generate new entries in the system directory
- Configure the IOCP/ HCD / HCM definitions
- An explanation of why we use IOCP and how HCP/HCM helps us to configure IOCP
- IPL and manage the z/VM system
- Configure the TCP/IP service machines
- Discuss system management commands
- Presume an explanation of systems management at a high level, few basic commands, and not more than that
- Construct Saved Systems and Saved Segments
- Only explanation of what Segment Management, but not going over the commands
- Apply Service Processes to the z/VM system
- RSU and Corrective Service
- Execute the VM Service Commands for regeneration of the system
- We will explain the steps involving PARM disks, especially if CP service is involved; and we think, anything more is deeper than 'intro' (i.e. like the VMSES process)
Day 5: Linux Implementation for System z (potentially may be too high level for beginner class - could expand days 3 and 4 to this day as well and drop implementations) - Configure and recompile the Linux kernel
- Back up the system
- As already noted, the kernel recompilation looks too early for beginners. Should we take some time and explain the concept of cloning virtual machines, instead ? (thought it will be good for them to understand about cloning and understand the potential time savings it can provide)
