 9:15 a.m. Virtualization Basics
           Brian Wade, VM Development,
           IBM
 
           Abstract
 
           Meant for those new to z/VM or zSeries, this presentation
           shows how z/VM uses a single zSeries computer to create
           the appearance of many disjoint zSeries machines, each
           working without knowledge of the others.  Key topics include
           the virtual machine model, the components of z/VM, the role
           of the SIE instruction, and the virtualization and management
           of various physical computing resources, such as processor,
           memory ,and I/O.

           Jim Vincent,
           Nationwide Insurance
 
           Abstract
 
           Did you know there are disks containing sample code
           that are included with your z/VM or VM/ESA
           installation? These disks contains useful tools and
           utilities which are often over looked.  Jim will
           reveal these hidden gems to you in this presentation
           which was voted "best session" at Share.

 2:30 p.m. Dynamically Managing Hardware I/O Configuration Using VM
           Rick Barlow,
           Nationwide Insurance
 
           Abstract
 
 
           With continually increasing demand to provide
           high availability of systems, it is important
           to be able to manage the hardware I/O configuration
           without requiring an outage.  The focus is on functions
           included in VM to manage the hardware I/O con
           figuration of the processor on which your VM system runs.
           The concepts and commands will be covered in detail and
           working examples will be presented. The presentation will
           focus on the CP commands  for managing the hardware
           configuration and not the HCD feature that was introduced
           with z/VM Version 4 Release 4.
