Cloud provider tasks

As a cloud provider, your tasks comprise setting up the KVM host and running the workload provided to you by a customer.

Before you start

You require a z15® or later mainframe with the IBM Secure Execution technology enabled and the IBM® provided key bundles applied.

For information about enabling IBM Secure Execution, see IBM Dynamic Partition Manager (DPM) Guide, SB10-7176-02.

For how to install a key bundle, see Importing key bundles.

Tip: For setups with many or large guests, a large value for vmalloc, for example vmalloc=1T, might help to ensure that enough virtual contiguous host memory is available for guest addressing. Increasing the value does not cause more memory to be used.
