Setting up the z/VM recording device driver

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS z/VM guest

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

About this task

This section provides information about the guest authorization that is required for collecting records and about how to load the device driver if it was compiled as a 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 vmlogrdr module.
    Use 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.
