You configure the access credentials for the z/VM systems management
API on the z/VM system. If your access credentials for the z/VM system are
incomplete or no longer valid, only a limited subset of the z/VM Center functions
are available to you.
Complete the following steps to provide the access credentials
to z/VM Center:
- If it is not started already, start the Virtual Server
Deployment task for the z/VM System you want to work with.
- In the z/VM System resource tree, expand the top node. The
top node represents the z/VM system.
- Click the z/VM Profile node below the top node. If your
current access credentials are complete and valid, the z/VM Profile pane is
displayed with the profile data. If your credentials are incomplete or no
longer valid, you are informed that you must update the credentials.
- In the z/VM Profile pane, click Configure.
- In the Set Access Credentials wizard, make the changes
according to your z/VM configuration.
- If changed or missing, type an administrator user ID that is
authorized for the z/VM systems management API in the User ID field. The user ID has to be authorized for the z/VM systems management API
and requires at least a subset of the privileges of the default IBM user classes
B and E.
- If changed or missing, type the current password in the Password field.
- If changed or missing, type the IP address with which you access
the z/VM systems management API in the VSMSERVE Server field.
This is usually the IP address of the z/VM TCP/IP service machine. Be sure
to type the correct address as defined on z/VM. The IP address must be in
IPv4 format.
The IP Address field is separated
into four sections according to the dotted-decimal format. You can edit each
section separately. Double-click a section to start editing it.
Tip: Double-click
the first section to edit it. When you are done with editing a section, press
the period (.) key to progress to the next section of the IP address. Press
Enter when you have completed the address.
- Click Finish.
