Learn to work with the Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) function for z/OS, and to plan and initiate dynamic reconfiguration of your zSeries hardware environment. Learn to use the HCD dialogs of z/OS to create an Input/Output (I/O) configuration and dynamically alter the I/O configuration. Learn about the creation of an I/O Configuration Dataset (IOCDS) and various reports that HCD can build. Use a z/OS system to reinforce lecture topics and to practice working with the HCD dialogs. Hands-on lab projects may be done in teams depending on the number of attendees and location.

This short course provides an overview of cloud computing and storage. Cloud storage can be thought of as a scalable way to store, access, and share data over the Intranet or the Internet. Before talking about how IBM’s storage products integrate with the cloud, we will present an overview of cloud computing in general. OpenStack is a collection of open source software projects that enterprises/service providers can use to setup and run their private cloud. Learning OpenStack will help you understand the concepts of cloud computing, which can be later used in other cloud environments. Therefore, we will present an overview of OpenStack here, followed by a discussion on IBM Storage's stride in this direction.
