Note:  This book does not  describe how to install an operating system or any other software in a partition. For more information about such installations, see your software of choice (operating system, hypervisor, or appliance) installation documentation. 

## 16.3.4 Configuring a z/VM partition 

This section describes configuring a partition for running the z/VM hypervisor. 

Because the procedure is similar to configuring a Linux partition, we emphasize only the differences from the procedure that is described in 16.3.3, “Configuring a Linux partition” on page 407. For more information, see 16.3.6, “Configuring partitions by using Advanced menus” on page 424.
