I provided technical support for three MVS machines running under VM/XA for a DP bureau. The support role covered areas such as software maintenance, DASD configuration, performance & tuning, operations support, user registration, RACF administration as well as problem diagnosis. The problem diagnosis and resolution role included problem tracking, calling product suppliers and ordering & applying fixes. I gained experience in the use of running hosts under VM. I was also required to supply management reports for capacity planning. The team I worked with was small and as a result I was frequently required to take responsiblity for major tasks (such as MVS CBPDO level upgrades) with little supervision.
