Moving Linux guest systems into/out of server complexes

When you move a Linux guest system into a server complex tier, the properties that you have defined for that server complex tier are applied to the Linux guest system.

The simplest way to apply configuration properties to a Linux guest system is to move a Linux guest system from one server complex tier to another (in the same or a different server complex) or from the Free Linux Guests pane. Once you do this, the Linux guest system is reconfigured according to the properties of the target server complex. First the ‘exiting’ configuration related to the source server complex (if one exists) is applied and then the ‘entering’ configuration related to the target server complex is applied.

Complete the following steps to move a Linux guest system into a server complex tier:

  1. If it is not started already, start the Server Complexes task for the z/VM system you want to work with.
  2. Select the Linux guest system that you want to move.
  3. Click ActionMove to.
  4. In the Choose Destination window, choose from the list of existing server complexes in the Target server complex field.
  5. If the target is a particular tier, choose from the list of tiers in that server complex in the Target tier field.
  6. Click OK.
  7. The Progress Indication window shows the progress of the action. If there is an inconsistency, you are given a choice whether to proceed or stop. Stopping saves the new properties but doesn't apply the configuration. After the operation is completed, click Close to close the Progress Indication window.
註: You can also perform this action by dragging the Linux guest system icon onto the target tier, or by right-clicking the Linux guest system and clicking Move to in the pop-up menu.
