Notes:

1.The steps that follow help you determine the Tivoli ADSM for VM file pool space requirements, file pool enrollment, and SFS directory definitions. If not all of these steps are required - for example, you are changing only SFS directory or subdirectory names - adapt these instructions as needed for your environment.

2.The following steps assume that a user-defined SFS file pool name is being used. If you will be using the VM/ESA default VMSYS file pool name, substitute it in any place you see 'user-defined file pool' or userfilepool.

3.For more information about planning for, generating and managing a file pool and server, see VM/ESA File Pool Planning, Administration and Operation.

1Determine the number of 4k blocks that are required for SFS directories by adding up the 4K blocks required for each SFS directory you plan to use.

If you intend to use all of the default Tivoli ADSM for VM SFS directories, the 4K block requirements for each directory are summarized in Figure 8 on page 11.

This information is used when enrolling the 5654A09A to the user-defined file pool.

2Enroll user 5654A09A in the user-defined file pool using the ENROLL USER command:

ENROLL USER 5654A09A userfilepool: (BLOCKS blocks

where blocks is the number of 4k blocks that you calculated in the previous step.

Note: This must be done from a user ID that is an administrator for the user-defined file pool.

3Determine if there are enough blocks available in the file pool to install Tivoli ADSM for VM. This information can be obtained from the QUERY FILEPOOL STATUS command. Near the end of the output from this command is a list of minidisks in the file pool 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 need to add space to the file pool. See VM/ESA SFS and CRR Planning, Administration, and Operation manual for information on adding space to a file pool.

4Create the necessary subdirectories using the CREATE DIRECTORY command.

A complete list of default Tivoli ADSM for VM SFS directories is provided in Figure 8 on page 11.
