Note:

 As described in  Existing IT infrastructure  on page 7, the topology 

chosen for this paper is topology 3, which involves the definitions of elements 

running on zSeries. The elements defined in the DCM presented in this 

section contain attributes that are specific to this topology. Refer to 

IBM 

Dynamic Infrastructure Enterprise Edition for mySAP Business Suite 

Installation and Customization,

 BOEE EUIN 00, for details about specific 

attributes used by other topologies.

Boot server

This part of the XML file describes the parameters needed to access the 

resources of a zSeries Z/VM system. ZVM Disk Pool Name is a name for a set of 

minidisks used for the cloning process. The

ZVM System parameter defines the 

IP address of the z/VM system that receives commands from the Tivoli 

Provisioning Manager.

Password credentials needed for the logon into the z/VM are provided by the 

Service Access Points parameters. These credentials are required for the 

provisioning operations to access the z/VM system using the VM Systems 

management API (VMAPI). The user ID and password information provided in 

these Service Access Points are of an administrative user ID defined in z/VM. 

Refer to  z/VM preparation and configuration  on page 33 for details.
