z/OS Host Configuration Client

The z/OS Host Configuration Client (Config Client) provides a convenient way for you to configure z/OS host components and processes.

This option lets you set or modify system parameters. You can select the sysparm you want to edit by navigating the Component Tree or by selecting a specific sysparm from a scrollable list.

Storage Groups

This option lets you define new Storage Groups (Pools). You can also modify or delete existing definitions.

Include-Exclude

This option lets you update the optional include-exclude lists for various objects and functions.

SMS Spares

VTOC/VVDS

This option lets you specify appropriate VTOC and VVDS sizes to be used when spare volumes are re-initialized and added to SMS storage groups.

VAM Spares

This option lets you identify spare volumes for CA Allocate (VAM) storage groups.

Data Set Groups

This option lets you define new Data Set Groups (Applications). You can also modify or delete existing definitions.
