In any system we must have user disks to be able to save our data. We will see how to create disks in ZD&T (3390 model 1, 2, 3, 9, 27, 54 and EAV), start them in z/OS (SMS and NO-SMS) and share them with another system (ZD&T and z/OS).

This entry focuses on the configuration of the z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF) autostart during an IPL. The goal is to have it started as soon as possible.
Also, z/OSMF startup can be very slow (few MIPS or on emulated systems) due to the reorganization of the help system index (IBM Knowledge Center) that it includes. We will learn how to disable it.
This time, we will see how to manually configure an OSA device in the IBM Z Development & Test Environment emulator and the TCPIP communication with the z/OS system. It is very easy to configure and, this way, we will be able to access applications like z/OSMF, ZOWE, etc.
We will continue to explore IBM Z Development & Test Environment Enterprise Edition. This time, we will focus on installing the web utility and deploying a z/OS system from an image. This tool is used to manage our emulated systems in a simple way. In addition, it also provides access by REST APIs to be able to create our own processes and automate the administration.
We continue with the installation of IBM Z Development & Test Environment Enterprise Edition. ZD&T is based on the zPDT tool (IBM z Systems Personal Development Tool). In this entry, we are going to focus on installing the emulator used in the zPDT tool, which is the software that emulates the Mainframe.
IBM Z Development &Test Environment is the official IBM Mainframe emulation tool. zD&T is available in three editions: Personal Edition, Enterprise Edition and Parallel Sysplex Edition. This time, we will start by installing the license server of the Enterprise Edition version.
