Note: This must be done from a user ID that is an administrator for

VMSYS: filepool.

c Determine if there are enough blocks available in the filepool to install Tivoli ADSM for VM. This information can be obtained with the QUERY FILEPOOL STATUS command. Near the end of the output from this command is a list of minidisks in the filepool and the number of blocks free. If the number of blocks free is smaller than the total 4K blocks needed to install Tivoli ADSM for VM you will need to add space to the filepool. See the VM/ESA Filepool Planning, Administration, and Operation manual for information on adding space to a filepool.

d Create the necessary subdirectories listed in the 5654A09A PLANINFO file using the CREATE DIRECTORY command.

set filepool vmsys:

create directory vmsys:5654A09A.adsm create directory vmsys:5654A09A.adsm.object create directory vmsys:5654A09A.adsm.applyalt create directory vmsys:5654A09A.adsm.applyprod create directory vmsys:5654A09A.adsm.delta

Refer to Figure 8 on page 11 to find out what each SFS directory is used for.

If necessary, see the VM/ESA CMS Command Reference manual for more information about the CREATE DIRECTORY command.

6.4 Install Tivoli ADSM for VM

The ppfname used throughout these installation instructions is 5654A09A, which assumes you are using the PPF supplied by IBM for Tivoli ADSM for VM. If you have your own PPF override file for Tivoli ADSM for VM, you should use your file's ppfname instead of 5654A09A. The ppfname you selected should be used throughout the rest of this procedure.

1 Logon to the installation user ID 5654A09A.

2 Create a PROFILE EXEC that will contain the ACCESS commands for

 

MAINT 5E5 and 51D minidisks.

xedit profile exec a

If either 5E5 or 51D is in a shared file system

===> input /**/

(SFS) then substitute your SFS directory name in

===> input 'access 5e5 b'

the access command.

===> input 'access 51d d'

 

===> file
