2.3.2 z/VM Installation
Adding a Linux Guest
The first step is to attach and format one or multiple DASDs in the system to be used
by the Linux guest in z/VM. Next, create a new user in z/VM. The example shows the
directory for a user LINUX1 with the password LINPWD, 256 MB of memory (extend-
able up to 1024 MB), 32 MB of expanded RAM (XSTORE), some minidisks (MDISK),
two CPUs and an OSA QDIO device.
TIP: Assigning Memory to z/VM guests
When assigning memory to a z/VM guest, make sure that the memory size suits
the needs of your preferred installation type. See Section "Memory Require-
ments" (page 2). To set the memory size to 512 MB, use the command CP
DEFINE STORAGE 512M. After the installation has finished, reset the memory
size to the desired value.
