CFP: Talk topic: Auto-provisioning zVM accounts with Node.js and SMAPI

(AF)

Stream: Virtual Room 10
Time: 16:30 - 17:30


Presentation

IBM Z XPlore wanted to offer hands-on experience with CMS, CP, and lay the skills foundations for large-scale Linux VM systems.

But how to automate the at-scale creation of CMS accounts, associated minidisks, password word synchronization?  All the off-the-shelf provisioning solutions seem aimed at Linux images, not traditional CMS accounts.

The solution:  zVM Systems Management Application Programming interface (SMAPI), DIRMaint, and Node.js – making a scriptable, extensible interface to zVM provisioning.
