Directly applying server complex properties in a single domain

You can directly apply the server complex properties in a single configuration domain to the Linux guest systems contained in that server complex (or tier). This applies the properties immediately, without first checking for consistency.

You can apply server complex properties at any time, with or without changing them. You may want to do this, if, for example, you were unable to apply properties that you modified previously, because a Linux guest system was offline at the time.

Complete the following steps to directly apply server complex properties in a single domain:
  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 server complex where you want to apply properties.
  3. Click ActionEdit Properties to open the Server Complex Properties window.
  4. In the Server Complex Properties window, choose the domain in which you want to apply properties, and choose whether to apply them to the whole server complex or to a specific tier.
  5. (Optional) Make your changes to the server complex properties in the domain. (For detailed information about changing properties, see Setting server complex properties.)
  6. Click Apply.
  7. If you are in the VMRM page, the reconfiguration occurs immediately. In all other domains, the Guest Selection window opens and you can choose the Linux guest systems on which to apply the reconfiguration.
  8. Click OK.
