Setting up the z/VM recording device driver

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 z/VM guest

Before you can collect records, you must authorize your z/VM guest virtual machine and load the device driver module.

Procedure

  1. Authorize the z/VM guest virtual machine on which your Linux® instance runs to:
    • Use the z/VM CP RECORDING command.
    • Connect to the IUCV services to be used: one or more of *LOGREC, *ACCOUNT, and *SYMPTOM.
  2. Load the z/VM recording device driver.
    You must load the z/VM recording device driver module before you can work with z/VM recording devices. Load the vmlogrdr module with the modprobe command to ensure that any other required modules are loaded in the correct order: 
    # modprobe vmlogrdr

    There are no module parameters for the z/VM recording device driver.
