Editing descriptions and names related to an operating system instance

Within z/VM Center, you cannot make changes to the configuration of an operating system instance. This task describes how to change the descriptions for the operating system instance and its resources. It also describes how to change the names that z/VM Center uses for the resources of the operating system instance. Use the Re-Register Operating System wizard to make z/VM Center aware of configuration changes that have taken place outside z/VM Center.

Complete the following steps to edit names and descriptions of an operating system instance and its resources:

  1. If it is not started already, start the Virtual Server Deployment task for the z/VM System you want to work with.
  2. In the z/VM System resource tree, expand the z/VM Virtual Servers node to display a list of z/VM virtual servers.
  3. Expand the node for the z/VM virtual server you want to work with; then expand the Operating Systems node below it. If there is no operating system instance below the Operating Systems node, none has been installed on the z/VM virtual server or an operating system has been installed outside the Virtual Server Deployment task and needs to be registered.
  4. Select the operating system instance. A notebook with the configuration of the operating system instance is displayed in the right pane.
  5. 選擇性的: If you want to change the description of the operating system instance, click the Overview tab; then type your description in the Description field. You can change or extend an existing description.

You can change the name or description separately for each disk.
    1. 選擇性的: In the Name field, type the new name you want to use for the disk.
    2. 選擇性的: In the Description field , type your description of the disk. You can change or extend an existing description.
  7. 選擇性的: If you want to change description of one of the ports defined for the operating system instance, click the Network ports tab; then select the port for which you want to change the description in the Ports field. You can change the description separately for each port. You can change or extend an existing description.
  8. Click Save. Your changes do not take effect until you click Save.
