z/VM Installation Demonstration - Part 1 and Part 2
|
September 19, 2018, September 26, 2018

In this presentation we demonstrate an install of z/VM. As the install
forces us to make decisions, we discuss the various options and how
particular choices affect the install and the eventual result. Because an

bit of clock time, the presentation consists of two hands-on sessions.
