Yesterday, IBM released an new Redbook entitled: Introduction
to the New Mainframe: z/OS Basics
(http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246366.html)
...
It would be nice, imho, if IBM was to produce a similar Redbook
for z/VM. I would be willing to contribute to it

Hi, Jim.
spare time and Jim Elliott are phrases one very seldom sees together
in the same sentence;-)
At least one other person, besides myself, has expressed interest in
contributing to a new document. What do we need to do to get this made
into a formal project?
Have a good one.

This book is the basis for the z/OS courses some higher-eds are
offering. I have started (in my spare time) doing a z/VM
version of this, but I think we need a formal project for this.
There is already a proposal
count me in please.

IBM has published such things in the past via IBM Press, or I have
contacts with Addison Wesley and O'Reilly
Thanks interesting to hear, Alan. As you might infer, there seems to be

Can you tell us where this proposal stands? Is it related to the
Well, we certainly seem to have enough Davids will to contribute...now
we need some Bartons, Reeds, Romneys, Alans, Robs, Marcys and other VM
gurus:-)

If time permits, I'd volunteer too. Surely vols 3 seems attractive to
me.

OK, I see where you're heading with this. It's a much bigger project
than what I was proposing doing with the z/OS Redbook.
The z/OS Redbook is 700 pages and just scratches the surface of z/OS. It
really is the basics.
As promised, I've posted my take on a book outline for new z/VM system
programmers. I'd appreciate comments and extensions to the topics (and
if people see sections they'd volunteer to write, I'd be thrilled). I
think a lot of the material will be reading the IBM stuff and casting it
into our own
Hi,
Looking through the outline (wow, you do a lot, fast!)
I thought of a few comments/suggestions.
chapter 2: was SAPIPL supposed to say SALIPL?
chapter 3: how about changing volsers (a definite FAQ!)
does the QDIO setup belong here, rather than in
chapter 4,
Nice start!
Chapter 8 could be Book 2. That really could end up being one very long
chapter unless you stick very close to the IBM default recommendations,
You know, like we all do... on days that end in z. The
maintenance/service philosophies from different folks could be chapters in
Chapter 3 note - applying the most recent RSU/COR is included in the VM One
Page Install sheet. So it should be a normal thing in a virgin install of
VM for the person to use the automatic tools (SERVICE PUT2PROD). Those
steps are definitely included there and seem to be well documented for
Ah, flattered to be included in that list of fine VM folks. However,
I'm running around like a chicken without its head these days. Be
careful what you ask for - build it they will come - and then they won't
go away! I think it was way easier being a less important o/s fighting
for survival

It is easy to see how this could grow to more than one book! I can see a
couple things that might be worth expanding.
In chapter 4, it might be worthwhile to add Guest LAN and Hipersockets to
the Connecting Interfaces section. I think it would also be useful to
make some reference to
Perhaps Care and Feeding of SFS, also?
