The Virtualization Cookbook for SLES 10 SP2 - z/VM - IBM

a. Use the VMLINK command to both link the disk read-only and access it as the highest
available file mode. The default read password is read, however, if you changed your
passwords as described in section 4.9.1, “Changing passwords in USER DIRECT” on
page 63, then it will be lnx4vm (or whatever you set it to).
==> vmlink maint 191
ENTER READ PASSWORD:
lnx4vm
DMSVML2060I MAINT 191 linked as 0120 file mode Z
b. Copy the PROFILE XEDIT to the A disk:
==> copy profile xedit z = = a
► Copy the default configuration files, which are on PERFSVM's D disk, to your A disk:
==> copy * * d = = a
► The main configuration file is FCONX $PROFILE. Edit that file and search for the string
VMCF.
==> x fconx $profile
====> /vmcf
This should take you to line 175 where the next 4 lines are comments starting with an *.
Perform the following changes:
– Uncomment the second and fourth line by changing *C to FC
– Change port 81 to 80 on the fourth line - this will enable you to use a browser interface
without having to specify port 81 on the URL (with a :81 suffix).
The modified lines should be as follows. Save your changes with the FILE subcommand:
* Following command activates VMCF data retrieval interface
FC MONCOLL VMCF ON
* Following command activates Internet interface
FC MONCOLL WEBSERV ON TCPIP TCPIP 80
* Following command activates Internet interface with SSL
*C MONCOLL WEBSERV ON SSL TCPIP TCPIP 81 IDTEST RACF
...
====> file
► Create a remote data retrieval authorization file with your z/VM system identifier (replace
POKSND61 with your system identifier):
==> x fconrmt authoriz
====> a 2
POKSND61 PERFSVM S&FSERV
POKSND61 MAINT DATA CMD EXCPMSG
► Create a system identification file that links your z/VM system and PERFSVM to a special
resource name called FCXRES00. (replace POKSND61 with your system identifier):
==> x fconrmt systems
====> a
POKSND61 PERFSVM ESA N FCXRES00
► Edit the PROFILE EXEC file, search for the word “once” and uncomment the five MONITOR
SAMPLE and the two MONITOR EVENT statements:
==> x profile exec a
====> /once
Before:

/*** Once you have PERFKIT enabled and running uncomment the ***/
/*** following comments ***/
/* 'CP MONITOR SAMPLE ENABLE PROCESSOR' */
