I would add VM:Tape and VM:Backup from CA to provide enhanced data backup&restore capabilities. IBM offers Tape Manager and Backup Manager (I think that is the name, Tracy Dean can correct me, please).
VM:Operator or Operations Manager can be added to help automate the OPERATOR console for some things like shutting down zLinux servers for consistent backups. If you have any auditors that look to the NIST guidelines as security bibles, then a security product can help you get through some of the arguements with them, ANY of the major products will do, RACF, ACF2, VM:Secure, TOP SECRET. /Tom Kern van Sleeuwen, Berry wrote: > Hi Mike, > > Our VM is pretty easy.
