Existing VM customers are familiar with the isolation/security/integrity features that z/VM provides. However manycustomers running Linux on IBM zSeries processors for the first time are new to the world of Virtualization and seekreassurance not only that multiple Linux servers can share hardware resources efficiently and scalability but alsocomply with organizational I/T security mandates. This presentation is an overview of the security and integritycharacteristics of the VM operating system when used to host virtual Linux servers on IBM zSeries or S/390processors.Session: V61Title: z/VM Resource ManagementSpeaker: Christine Casey, IBMAbstract:The new Virtual Machine Resource Manager (VMRM) provides functions to dynamically tune a z/VM system. Thispresentation discusses how the VMRM Service Virtual Machine can create a form of group scheduling by managingvirtual machines into groups, or workloads, and how performance parameters are adjusted when there is contention forcertain system resources.Session: V62Title: z/VM System Administration Facility for Linux GuestsSpeaker: Christine Casey, IBMAbstract:The z/VM System Administration Facility consists of functions that provide an environment to let you create andmanage multiple Linux images on a single z/VM platform. If you are new to VM or are migrating to z/VM from theS/390 Virtual Image Facility for Linux (VIF) product, and would like a simple method to create and manage Linuxguests, then this session is for you. This presentation introduces the concepts, functions, installation and configurationof this environment.Session: V65Title: Managing z/VM Using the 'Hidden' ToolsSpeaker: Jim Elliott, IBMAbstract:Over the years IBM has added a lot of utility functions to what is now z/VM and its features. For most people, theseutilities remain a hidden secret as they are buried in the large library of z/VM documentation. Topics will include theusing the AUDITOR, ACCOUNT and PROP utility functions of CMS, among many others! An overview of RSCS andPVM functions will also be provided. This session will bring to light these utilities and provide an overview of howthey can be used to make your life easier in managing and monitoring your Linux, VSE/ESA and even z/OS guestimages.Topic: z/VM Basics SessionsSession: V70
