The enhancement processes and methodologies taught in this book yield multiple layers for system recovery, 24x7 availability, and superior ease of updating and upgrading operating systems and subsystems without having to rebuild environments from scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of the techniques and processes covered in this book are not new to either the mainframe or distributed platforms. What is new in this book are the authors’ innovative methods for taking distributed environments running mainframe virtual machine (VM) and multiple virtual storage (MVS) and making them look and feel like other MVS systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors’ combined expertise involves every aspect of the implementation of IBM zPDT technology to create virtualized mainframe environments by which the mainframe operations on a z series server can be transitioned to distributed platforms. All of the enhancement methods consecutively laid out in this book have been architected and developed by the authors for the CA Technologies distributed platform. Barrett and Norris impart these techniques and processes to CIOs and CTOs across the mainframe and distributed fields, to zPDT and RDz UT implementers, and to IBM’s independent software vendors and customers. \u003c\/p\u003e         What you’ll learn\u003cp\u003eIn particular, readers will learn from \u003cem\u003eRunning \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eMainframe z on Distributed Platforms\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow to create and maintain pristine z\/OS and z\/VM multi-user sysplexed environments \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow to establish a mainframe distributed lab with repeatable processes and easy maintenance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow to ensure backup\/recovery integrity and business continuity \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estandards and conventions, including the use of symbols in the system IPLs \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ez\/OS and z\/VM optimizations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDASD repository methodologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWho this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCIOs and CTOs across the mainframe and distributed fields, zPDT and RDz UT implementers, administrators and ISVs and customers.\u003c\/p\u003e           Table of Contents\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding the Mainframe Environment, Technologies, and Methodologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating a Mainframe Virtualized Environment: Requirements and Choices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding the Hypervisor Host\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating a Base Environment \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstructing the z\/VM Environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstablishing a DASD Repository for a Multi-Server Environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStaging for z\/OS Optimization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMigrating to Mainframe zEnterprise DASD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomizing the z\/OS Environment with Symbols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdating the Environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing for Recovery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeploying Virtualized Mainframe Environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftware Licensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting the Standards and Conventions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIEASYS Member Example\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLOAD Member Example\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlossary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134112121072,"sku":"9781430264316","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430264316_p0.jpg?v=1763751048","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430264316","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
