Setting up the z/VM *MONITOR record reader device driver

You must set up Linux and the z/VM guest virtual machine for accessing an existing monitor DCSS with the z/VM *MONITOR record reader device driver.

Before you begin

Some of the CP commands you use for setting up the z/VM *MONITOR record reader device driver require class E authorization.

Setting up the monitor system service and the monitor DCSS on z/VM is beyond the scope of this information. See What you should know about the z/VM *MONITOR record reader device driver for documentation about the monitor system service, DCSS, and related CP commands.
