Operating VM2000 and the virtual machines (VMs)

This chapter describes the operating strategy and the operating functions of VM2000:

• VM2000 Operating strategy
• Operating a VM
• VM Migration
• Working with VM definitions
• Operating VM groups (SU /390)
• Operating the whole VM2000 system
• VM2000 in the guest systems

The operating functions are realized by the VM2000 commands. A detailed description of the syntax of the VM2000 commands and a description of the operands are given in chapter "VM2000 commands".

User interfaces

There are two user interfaces for operating VM2000 and the virtual machine:

• The full VM2000 functionality is available to the VM2000 and VM administrators via the user interface of VM2000 (which is described in this chapter).

• Fundamental VM2000 functions are also available to the SE server administrators via the SE Manager, see section "VM2000 functions in the SE Manager".
