Cloudlib4zvm supports initiating changes to a Linux on z Systems virtual machine while Linux is shut down or
the virtual machine is logged off. The changes to Linux are implemented using an activation engine (AE)
that is run when Linux is booted the next time. The 1st active engine, zvmguestconfigure, must be installed
in the Linux on z Systems virtual server so it can process change request files transmitted by the cloudlib4sdk
