Resource Manager

• Private / Shared / On Demand VPARs

• Automation allocate VPARs on demand

from VPARs pool

attach specified resources (like tape, osa) to a VPARS

pick up VPOPEN parameters from configuration file

dictate the commands to be executed in the VPARS

bring up the VPARS to a specific state (NORM, 1052) and keep it ready for dispatch

Resource Manager: On Demand VPARs

• Client A requests VPARs from pool

• Worker A starts another worker which brings VPARs to norm state,

then disconnects

• Worker A starts another worker which gets another VPARs ready

for dispatch, then disconnects

• Client B requests VPARs from pool

• Worker B starts another worker which finds a VPARs that is ready

for dispatch in the pool, so uses it

• Worker B starts another worker which gets another VPARs ready

for dispatch, then disconnects

Connectivity Manager

• TPF-to-TPF Function Server (zTTFS) provides access to remote

resources allows resources to be

shared

• Requests for remote resources are intercepted and directed through a z/TPF server that has the actual remote links or connections
