Most of the parameters of an operating system template are inherited
from the master operating system on which the operating system template is
based and cannot be changed in the template. This task describes how to change
names and descriptions that z/VM Center uses for an operating system template
and its resources. None of the changes described in this
task result in changes to parameters on z/VM.
Complete the following steps to edit names and descriptions of
an operating system template and its resources:
- If it is not started already, start the Virtual Server
Deployment task for the z/VM System you want to work with.
- In the Provisioning Resources tree, expand the Operating System
Templates node to display a list of the available operating system templates.
- Select the operating system template for which you want to change
names and descriptions. A notebook with the operating system
template data is displayed in the right pane.
