Abstract for Saved Segments Planning and Administration

This topic collection provides information about planning and administering saved segments on an IBM® z/VM® system. It describes tasks associated with planning for CP saved segments, CMS saved segments, and building saved segments using VMSES/E.

Some of this information is based on the experiences of IBM customers. The recommendations are meant to help installations run their z/VM systems more efficiently.

Intended Audience: This information is intended for anyone responsible for planning, installing, and updating a z/VM system.

You should have a general understanding of data processing and teleprocessing techniques, and you should have thought about:
  • What z/VM functions your site requires
  • Which guest operating systems you will be running
  • How many users you are going to have and the type of environment under which they will be running their applications
