Installing the VM2000 hypervisor files (SU /390)

On SU x86 hypervisor functions are executed by the Xen hypervisor. It is not necessary to install the VM2000 hypervisor.

Installation of the program file and the REP loader for the VM2000 hypervisor is dependent on the startup mode in which the monitor system is to be initialized (see "Initializing and terminating VM2000"). There are two options for installation:

• Initializing the monitor system with a dialog startup.
  When a dialog startup is used, the file name of the program file (message VMS5005) and the REP file (message NSI0050) is requested at the BS2000 console. Therefore, any name can be chosen for the VM2000 hypervisor files at startup of the monitor system.

• Initializing the monitor system with a fast or automatic startup.
  In this case, the names of the VM2000 hypervisor files must be entered in the startup parameter file or the files must be created with their standard file names (SYSPRG.VM2000-HPV.<ver>, SYSREP.VM2000-HPV.<ver>) on the home pubset of the monitor system.

The structure, loader setup, buffering and logging of the VM2000 hypervisor REPs are organized in the usual way, see the section entitled “System corrections” in the “Introduction to System Administration” [2].

The VM2000 hypervisor REP file must be an independent REP file; it must not be incorporated in other REP loaders.

Current corrections for the VM2000 hypervisor can also be made online by the Customer Service without interrupting operation.
