Software delivery options for z/OSMF
z/OSMF is available for installation through the ServerPac order delivery process or as a Custom-Built Product Delivery Option (CBPDO) software delivery package. How your installation sets up z/OSMF — the procedures you use and the instructions that you follow—depends in part on the software delivery option that you use.
These differences are explained as follows:
- ServerPac users:
- If you select the full system replacement installation type, a default instance of z/OSMF is set up for you. Here, a base z/OSMF configuration is created through a ServerPac post-installation job, using IBM-supplied defaults. The default instance of z/OSMF does not include any of the optional plug-ins, such as Network Configuration Assistant, Incident Log, and so on. Enabling the optional plug-ins in z/OSMF requires some customization of the z/OS host system, as described in Customizing your z/OS system for the z/OSMF plug-ins.
- If you select the software upgrade installation type, you require the planning and configuration information in this document to create a z/OSMF configuration. Your system programmer can create a customized version of the IZUPRMxx member on your system, and define plug-ins to it.
ServerPac provides customization guidance for configuring z/OSMF. See the copy of ServerPac: Installing Your Order that is supplied with your order.
- CBPDO users:
- If you receive z/OSMF in a Custom-Built Product Delivery Option (CBPDO) software delivery package, you require the planning and configuration information in this document. Your installation's system programmer can create a customized IZUPRMxx member to define an instance of z/OSMF on your system.
