► Enter 1 to restart the TCP/IP stack (you may see other warnings):
The TCP/IP stack (TCPIP) must be restarted as part of this procedure
Would you like to restart and continue?
Enter 0 (No), 1 (Yes) 1

DTCIPW2520I File PROFILE TCPIP created on TCPIP 198

► At this point your z/VM TCP/IP stack should be up. You should now be able to ping it from
another system.
If the IPWIZARD fails you must continue debugging it until it succeeds. Double check all
values. Verify that the TCP/IP network and OSA information you were given are properly
associated.
HMC Integrated 3270 Console or 3270 emulator? At this point z/VM should be
accessible over the network. You can continue working at the HMC, or you can access
your new system using a 3270 emulator. See 3.3, “3270 emulators” on page 24 for some
brief words on that subject.
If you want to switch to 3270 emulator, first LOGOFF of MAINT or DISConnect on the
Integrated 3270 Console.
If you logoff the session is ended - it is analogous to shutting and powering down a PC. If
you disconnect, your session remains where it is and is resumed when you log back on. It
is analogous to turning a PC’s monitor off. In general, you should LOGOFF of system
administration user IDs such as MAINT. However, you should always DISCONNECT from z/VM
service machines such as TCPIP and user IDs running Linux. Logging off of them will
terminate the service or crash Linux.
4.3 Configuring the XEDIT profile
Logon to MAINT if you are not already.
The XEDIT command looks for the file XEDIT PROFILE configuration file when it is invoked.
Many z/VM user IDs do not have such a personal or shared system file, so all XEDIT default
values are in effect. The MAINT 191 (A) disk has a PROFILE XEDIT so when you are editing files
on MAINT, the values in this profile are usually in effect.
If you have never used XEDIT before, there is a cheat sheet in Appendix A.4.1, “XEDIT cheat
sheet” on page 241. The z/VM 6.1 PDF library is on the Web at:

Search for the XEDIT User’s Guide and Command Reference. Also there is an old manual
available online:
