Appendix B. Disabling Tivoli ADSM for VM

If you are running VM/ESA Version 2 Release 4.0 and had previously licensed and enabled Tivoli ADSM for VM 3.1.2 for use, and no longer are licensed for Tivoli ADSM for VM, you need to explicitly disable Tivoli ADSM for VM. Perform the following steps to disable Tivoli ADSM for VM.

link MAINT 5e5 5e5 rr access 5e5 b

link MAINT 51d 51d mr access 51d d

1 Logon to a user ID that has privilege class E authority and has access to the VMSES/E code disk (default MAINT 5E5) and VMSES/E Software Inventory disk (default MAINT 51D).

2 Establish read access to VMSES/E code.

The 5E5 minidisk is where VMSES/E resides.

3 If the Software Inventory disk (51D) was accessed R/O (read only) then establish write access to the Software Inventory disk.

Note: If the MAINT 51D minidisk was accessed R/O, you will need to have the user that has it accessed R/W link it R/O. You then can issue the following commands to obtain R/W access to it.

The 51D minidisk is where the VMSES/E Software Inventory files and other product dependent files reside.

4 Set Tivoli ADSM for VM to the disabled state.

vmfins disable ppf 5654A09A {ADSM ADSMSFS} Use ADSM if installed using minidisk or ADSMSFS if installed using Shared File System directories.

This command will perform the following:

Set Tivoli ADSM for VM as DISABLED in

VMSES/E and within CP.

Create a 5654A09A PRODSYS file on the A-disk that contains the CP system configuration PRODUCT statement with a state of DISABLED.

5 In order to retain the DISABLED state for Tivoli ADSM for VM, update the

 

CP system configuration file with the information in the 5654A09A

 

PRODSYS file.
