If you change an operating system instance outside z/VM Center,
you need to inform z/VM Center about the changes.
z/VM Center cannot detect configuration changes you
make to an operating system instance. If you want to use an operating system
instance as a source for an operating system template, z/VM Center needs up-to-date
configuration data. The data that needs to be up-to-date corresponds to the
data that is created when an operating system instance is registered.Complete the following steps to re-register an operating system
instance:
- 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 z/VM Virtual Servers
node to display a list of z/VM virtual servers.
- Expand the node for the z/VM virtual server you want to work with;
then expand the Operating Systems node below it.
- Optional: Expand the node for the z/VM virtual server
on which the operating system instance that you want to re-register is installed. If there is no operating system instance below the Operating Systems
node, none has been installed on the z/VM virtual server or the operating
system has been installed outside the Virtual Server Deployment task and has
not been registered.
- Select and right-click the
Operating Systems node; then click Re-Register Operating System to
start the Re-Register Operating System wizard.
- Make updates that describe your configuration changes
as you proceed through the Re-Register Operating System wizard.
After re-registering an operating system instance that
has been installed using an operating system template, the re-registered operating
system instance is no longer considered to have been derived from the template.
