Abstract
The IBM® Redbooks® publication The Virtualization Cookbook for z/VM 6.3, RHEL 6.4, and SLES 11 SP3, SG24-8147 explains how to set up your own Linux virtual servers on IBM System z® hardware under IBM z/VM® by using step-by-step instructions. It adopts a cookbook format that provides a concise, repeatable set of procedures for installing and configuring z/VM in an LPAR and then installing and customizing Linux.
In this Web Doc, we explain how the book is not just a cookbook of different recipes, but is a lesson about how to create a whole z/VM and Linux on System z dinner, from soup to nuts.
Contents
Virtualization is still hot in the IT industry. The IBM® mainframe, IBM z/VM® and its predecessors, have been doing virtualization for five different decades. Today, the mainframe is arguably the most function-rich virtualization platform. When Linux came to the IBM mainframe in 2000, it was a natural fit to run under z/VM. You can run many tens or even low hundreds of Linux virtual servers on the same IBM System z® logical partition (LPAR) under z/VM. But how do you install and configure your environment for z/VM and Linux on System z? This IBM Redbooks® publication The Virtualization Cookbook for z/VM 6.3, RHEL 6.4, and SLES 11 SP3, SG24-8147 is the answer to all of your questions regarding virtualization using z/VM V6.3, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3.
