This course introduces the students to the implementation of the DirMaint and RACF Security Server for z/VM program products. The class focuses on the required steps of implementing DirMaint and RACF Security Server for z/VM in the z/VM 6.3 environment. The students participate in hands-on labs where they install, tailor, and use these two program products from an end user and system programmer view point.

• Implement DirMaint on a z/VM 6.3.0
• Manage the virtual machines in a z/VM 6.3.0 system using DirMaint
• Implement RACF Security Server for z/VM on a z/VM 6.3.0 system
• Secure your z/VM system using the RACF Security Server

The audience for this course is VM system programmers who are responsible for the support of Linux guest systems that require knowledge of DirMaint and RACF Security Server for z/VM.

You would need to attend Installing, Configuring and Servicing z/VM for Linux Guests (ZV062) or zVM and zLinux Bootcamp (ZL000) courses or have equivalent knowledge to successfully complete this course.
