If z/VM is used, it SHOULD be integrated into patch management. All default passwords SHOULD be changed. The role of z/VM system administrator SHOULD only be assigned to persons who require the corresponding authorisations. RACF for z/VM SHOULD be used for z/VM security administration. Passwords for real users and guest users SHOULD be encrypted using RACF for z/VM. z/VM system commands that are critical to security SHOULD be protected using RACF. The virtual machines defined in z/VM SHOULD only be provided with the resources necessary to perform their particular tasks and strictly separated from each other. Only the services needed SHOULD be started in z/VM. When checks are performed, the journalling function of z/VM and the audit functions of RACF SHOULD be used.
