Abstract
IBM's RACF® for z/VM® provides a mechanism for the control of resources associated with the z/VM environment. These external controls expand z/VM's security management and auditing capabilities in scope and granularity. RACF for z/VM stores its security policy in a database residing on disk attached to the system. Management of this database is critical for continuous operation of a secure z/VM environment.
The intent of this paper is to provide guidance for analyzing the RACF for z/VM database and repairing it, if necessary. It will outline two main operational procedures. First, steps for analyzing and repairing a RACFVM database shall be enumerated. Secondly, the steps for upgrading a RACF database shared between two or more z/VM systems shall be discussed.
