z/VM: Getting Started with Linux on System z
Notes:
a. For the swap disk 151, you could use a virtual disk, but be aware of the
impact a virtual disk has on your system. See "Linux Performance when
running under VM" (http://www.vm.ibm.com/perf/tips/linuxper.html).
b. "GRPLNX" matches the region name you created in "Steps for controlling
where DirMaint creates minidisks" on page 55.
If you make any changes to LINUX PROTODIR, save the file with the XEDIT
FILE command. Otherwise, quit the file: from the XEDIT command line, type
this command and press the Enter key:
====> quit
Install the LINDFLT DIRECT and LINUX PROTODIR files.
a. Start by testing for the existence of a user called LINDFLT. Issue:
dirm for lindflt get lock
v If the GET LOCK command succeeded, issue:
dirm for lindflt replace
v If the GET LOCK command did not succeed, issue:
dirm add lindflt
b. Install LINUX PROTODIR. Issue:
dirm file linux protodir
Use DirMaint to define the master virtual machine (LINMSTR). Type this
command and press the Enter key:
dirm add linmstr like linux pw new_password
where new_password is the password for logging on LINMSTR. new_password
must be 8 characters long and must contain both numbers and letters.
If you decide you want to delete a virtual machine you cloned, type this
command and press the Enter key:
dirm for userid purge
where userid is the user ID of the virtual machine you want to delete.
differing processing requirements of your Linux virtual servers. You can use
naming conventions that indicate the processing requirements satisfied by each
prototype. For instance, you might want to create a small memory prototype
(128 MB virtual machine called LINUX128), a medium memory prototype (256
MB virtual machine called LINUX256), and a large memory prototype (512 MB
virtual machine called LINUX512), then create small, medium, and large master
virtual machines, into which you can install the Linux operating system and
appropriate application packages or middleware (the large master could have
