In this session we will review the motivation of Sub-Capacity pricing, current process with hints and tips and at the end show, explore and get your feedback on some enhancements we are working on, hopefully to make your life easier
This session is a case study approach to the problem of implementing a disaster recovery scheme for z/VM systems. The methods demonstrated use IBM-branded tools (IBM Operations Manager, Tape Manager, Backup and Restore Manager for z/VM) though the underlying concepts can be addressed using other solutions.
If you have not yet heard about the IBM z/VM Express System Install project, this session will cover the concept, how it came to be, and what has been included so far. Speakers from IBM's zAcceleration, WW LinuxONE Client Success, and Washington Systems Center will cover the details explaining why the ESI deployment bundle for z/VM is becoming so popular and how much time it can save you on your journey to hybrid cloud. Discover just how quick and easy deploying z/VM can really be! We will also cover what has been added, improved, or enhanced due to the recent GA of z/VM 7.4. The ESI project team also wants to hear from customers in the session about what you would like to see potentially added to the ESI bundle going forward.
In this session we will show how to setup OpenSSL on 21CS VSEn with the three TCP/IP stacks, CSI, BSI and LFP. This presentation can also be used as Step-by-Step guide for future reference
VSE platform is this year 60 years "young"! We want to celebrate with customers and vendors with a history journey how it started, evolved, where we are and where we are going. So come an join to share your stories from the past and also current stories and what you wish for the future.
Attend this session to learn a streamlined approach to implementing z/VM performance monitoring. We’ll start with the basics of enabling monitor data collection and the z/VM Performance Toolkit, move on to the process of enabling IBM OMEGAMON for z/VM and Linux, and finish with a review of setting up the z/VM Performance Data Pump.
In this session we will go through the basic concepts of 21CS VSEn SW stack support, the box infrastructure, summary spreadsheet and hint and tips dealing with APARs, PTFs and RSLs.
Attend this “beyond the basics” session to learn how to make these tools useful after the installation processes are complete: -- IBM Operations Manager for z/VM: Learn how to configure basic service machine console monitoring and set up a simple automated operations schedule. -- IBM Tape Manager for z/VM: Learn how to configure basic functions and provision tape resources in support of automatically scheduled system backups. -- IBM Backup and Restore Manager for z/VM: Leverage work done in Operations Manager and Tape Manager to implement automated system backup procedures
In this session, we present how SDK successfully modernized its mainframe infrastructure by upgrading to VSEn and introducing a new IBM Z16 alongside a DS8910F storage solution. Working closely with Living Mainframe, SVA and 21CS, the project ensured a stable, secure operational foundation while paving the way for future IT modernization initiatives. We will share key project insights, the strategic benefits of the infrastructure update, and how this modernization strengthens the resilience and agility of SDK's IT environment.
In this presentation we will show a mixed collection of experiences from the 21CS team on different areas while working with VSEn customers and upgrading to/using 21CS VSEn 6.3
This session will cover real world customer situations, describing various business challenges with database workloads, and how we tried to resolve these solutions. We'll share some demos on MongoDB memory monitoring, Oracle performance tuning and PostGresSQL performance tips . We'll also show/demo some key performance metrics of the new LinuxONE 5 / z17 announcement.
Would it be advantageous to have the capability to assist new people coming into the VSE world with limited time to learn JCL and its Utilities, or experienced Engineers who just want to keep things simple? Well, we may just have the answer. Several VSE Products have a 'fill-in-the-blank' methodology, to create and execute some Utility Jobs, such as, VSAM Backup/Restore, VSAM Catalog Management and Hardcopy Reports without knowing much about the JCL or their parameters. This session will go over these panels and explain how they can be easily used to improve the efficiency and productivity of your Sys Progs and Operators.
OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open-source, vendor-neutral project providing standardized metrics, traces, and logs for application and infrastructure observability. This session introduces OpenTelemetry's core concepts and demonstrates how it can be used to gain real-time visibility into infrastructure performance. Attendees will learn about integrating OTel with popular monitoring backends, setting up infrastructure instrumentation, and extracting actionable insights for performance optimization and troubleshooting.
Based on customer request, in this session we will cover the following topics: Using Callable Services to prevent duplication of similar code in several programs in an application suite. Using sidefiles to reduce the object size of COBOL programs. Using Debug Tool or CEETRACE to check logic flow and remove redundant code. Describing various methods to generate dumps and diagnostic data to provide 21CS for analysis.
This session will focus on the physical planning consideration for the system covering the power, layout, site tools and environmental stats. We will also explore the installation experience for the 9175 at the Washington Systems Center as part of the early support program.
