Steps for setting up the routing table

This procedure has you modify the PROP RTABLE and add comparison entries for
your Linux virtual servers. A comparison entry is a line in the PROP RTABLE that
matches a message sent to the programmable operator to an action, such as
logging the message or sending the message to the logical operator. For instance,
one comparison entry is designed to send a message to the logical operator if a
Linux system abnormally terminates. For more information about the statements in
the PROP RTABLE, including comparison entries, see "The Routing Table" in
z/VM: CMS Planning and Administration, SC24-6171.
Use this procedure as a model by which to automate other actions for your Linux
virtual servers.
Before you begin: If OPERATOR is not logged on, you need to log onto the
OPERATOR virtual machine. OPERATOR needs to be running CMS (see "Step for
modifying the OPERATOR's directory entry" on page 60).
Rules: When editing the routing table, you must:
v Keep entries in their proper columns.
v Right-justify numbers in their columns.
