z/VM logon

If you are sharing the RACF® database with a z/VM® system, you can define a profile for z/VM:

Ask the system programmer for the system ID of the z/VM system. It can be located by examining the CPU-ID (system ID) field in the RACF SMF CONTROL file.
Determine the high-level qualifier name of the profile to represent z/VM in the PTKTDATA class using the characters VM as a prefix to the CPU-ID field.

Example of a z/VM profile name: The system ID of the z/VM system is ISGR8. To create the profile name, use VM as the prefix. The resulting profile name is VMISGR8. If the profile applied only to RACF users connected to the RACF group PROD, the resulting profile name would be VMISGR8.PROD.

Note: If the CPU-ID field contains blanks or characters that are not alphanumeric, they cannot be specified in the profile name. For example, if the CPU-ID field contains VM7, you must specify the profile defined in the PTKTDATA class as VMVM7.
