How specify Internet Delivery for your z/VM order on ShopzSeries
|
|
|
Effective January 25, 2008, the z/VM base operating system and base
options are available for Internet delivery for orders placed using
ShopzSeries in countries where it is available.
We know many of our customers have requested Internet delivery
and IBM is pleased to offer it to you. Thank you for your continued
interest in z/VM.

In addition to shipment on tape cartridges and DVD, z/VM is available
for download from the Internet through ShopzSeries.
Tips for ordering Internet delivery of z/VM via ShopzSeries
In ShopzSeries, a black diamond
( )
symbol
indicates that
electronic delivery is available for your z/VM product selection, even
though you are shown only the two choices -- DDR or DVD. On a ski
trail, black diamond signs mark the difficult/advanced ski
trails. Ironic as it may seem, IBM is not using the black diamond
symbol to indicate a degree of difficulty in ordering electronic delivery
of z/VM. Use the tips below to help you know which pulldown
selections you need, and which buttons to click on various screens.
Once you are signed into ShopzSeries to create a new order:
-
Select z/VM for the Operating Environment and select
Products for Package Category
- Select the Hardware System where you plan to use this order
- On the Shop for Products screen, select
Base Product for Group and also choose your language
and filter.
Do NOT click on Continue, instead click
SHOW CATALOG !
-
When you see the catalog list, select DDR and then
select Internet
- Continue if you need to select new licenses, do so.
- To specify delivery options, choose Internet on the
Preferred Media pull-down and click on Go
to be able to indicate any special instructions, and then
click Continue.
- On the Review and Submit page, you have an opportunity
to review and change your order before submitting it.
Once you have submitted and confirmed your order,
the next screen shows you a list of your orders and their status.
The internet download can be performed using the instructions
that are in the post-order email or by clicking on the
Internet Download link on the order status page.
For your convenience and planning, you can review
the instructions for z/VM V5.4.
