To run the PlateSpin Orchestrate described in this section, use the following guidelines:
Install and configure PlateSpin Orchestrate properly (see Installing and Configuring All PlateSpin Orchestrate Components Together
in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 Installation and Configuration Guide.
Unless otherwise indicated, install at least one agent on a managed resource and have it running (see Installing the PlateSpin Orchestrate Agent on Other Supported Operating Systems
in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 Installation and Configuration Guide).
Before running zosadmin or zos commands, you must log into the Orchestrate Server.
The zosadmin command is required for administrating jobs. This includes deploying and undeploying a job to the server. The zos command is for job control, including starting a job and viewing a job’s log. As you learn about the PlateSpin Orchestrate job samples, you will use the zosadmin command for deploying a sample job and the zos command for running the sample.
For an explanation of the zosadmin commands, see The zosadmin Command Line Tool
in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 Command Line Reference.
> zosadmin login --user zosadmin Login to server: skate Please enter current password for 'zosadmin': Logged into grid on server 'skate'
For an explanation of zos commands, see The zos Command Line Tool
in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 Command Line Reference.
> zos login --user zenuser Please enter current password for 'zenuser': Logged into grid as zenuser
You could create a user (see Walkthrough: Creating a User Account
in the PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 Installation and Configuration Guide) but zos login --user=vmmanger works with the account created by default during installation. The password for this user was also created during the installation; that is, when either config or guiconfig was run. If you are not the person who created this password during configuration, you will need to contact the individual who did so to get the password.
