Example 27 shows a list of authorized users of this vswitch definition. 

Note:

 Because access to a vswitch definition can be authorized prior to the 

creation of z/VM directory entries, it is recommended that all possible 

dynamically provisioned servers be included in the authorization files.

SAP master systems setup

A base SAP system implementation is needed prior to running the IBM Dynamic 

Infrastructure for mySAP. This would entail the SAP Central Instance and at least 

one SAP Dialog Server for each SAP SID in your landscape, along with any 

systems required for interfaces to other applications. It is expected that these 

systems already exist and are functional.

After the base SAP systems are in place, you can implement the rest of the SAP 

configurations to support IBM Dynamic Infrastructure for mySAP. 

The Linux on zSeries code was installed by initially booting from VM EXEC 

starter files, then continuing the Linux on zSeries code installation over the 

network. Service Pack 3 was then installed via YaST2 control center.

Updates to the SAP base systems

The SAP Service Marketplace provides the list of update activities that must be 

performed for each specific version of SAP. For our environment, we had to install 

the following additional code on each base Linux system:

suse sapinit.rpm

saplocales 2.2.5 2

Java SDK 1.3.1

Dynamic Provisioning of SAP Environments using IBM DI for mySAP and Tivoli Provisioning Manager
