If you choose to install Tivoli ADSM for VM on a common user ID the default minidisk addresses for Tivoli ADSM for VM may already be defined. If any of the default minidisks required by Tivoli ADSM for VM are already in use you will have to create an override to change the default minidisks for Tivoli ADSM for VM so they are unique.

Notes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.An SFS directory SHOULD NOT be used for the production disk or the test build disk to avoid suspension of the ADSM server. The message repository, which is read as needed by the server, will reside on these disks. By placing the message repository in an SFS directory the ADSM Server can be suspended while the SFS Server satisfies a read request when a message text is needed.

2.Cylinder values defined in this table are based on a 4K block size. FB-512 block and SFS values are derived from the 3380 cylinder values in this table. The FBA blocks are listed as 1/2K but should be CMS formatted at 1K size. 37,650 4K blocks are needed for SFS install.

3.The list of DASD in this figure does not show all devices supported by VM/ESA and you are not limited to only these devices when installing the Tivoli ADSM for VM program product. To determine the amount of space needed on a device not listed but supported by VM/ESA, start with the value in the "SFS 4K Blocks" column.
