Hi Dennis,

I have a feeling that when I follow my cheatsheet below that 
during rebuilds when applying maintenance the rebuilds fail 
due to storage already in use. Haven't tested but 
maintenance goes on fine on systems without the increased 
HELPSEG

=======================================================================
| Install procedure for CA help files z/VM 5.1 
|
=======================================================================
| 
|
|   Below are the CA helpfile installation procedures. For 
additional |
|   information refer to the VM:Manager Installation Guide, 
Rel 7.2a  |
| 
|
=======================================================================

I. Load files from cart
   1.  Logon to VMRMAINT

   2.  Have cart mounted on virtual 181

   3.  VMIMAINT
         tab to "Load Help Files" and press enter
         select all files

II. Place files on system help file disk
   1.  Logon to MAINT

   2.  Access source and target disks
         ACCESS 19D M
         VMLINK VMRMAINT 29D <* N>

   3.  Copy files
         COPY * * N = = M (OLDD

III.  Re-save HELPSEG.
      This segment contains a copy of the mdisk directory.

   1. Logon to MAINT
      Increase virtual machine storage
        DEF STOR 256M
        IPL

      Issue command
        vmfbld ppf segbld esasegs segblist helpseg ( wild

      if you get msg VMFBDS1965E with return code of 32
      increase size of segment and repeat step 1.

   2. Increase size of HELPSEG
        vmfsgmap segbld esasegs segblist
        page forward to find HELPSEG
        place cursor on word HELPSEG and press pf4
        CHANGE defparms FROM C00-CFF SR
        press PF5 to return to map screen
        press PF5 to file changes
      Note. For zVM 5.1 size was increased from C00-CFF to 
C00-D4F
12dec2005 GAM size increased to C00-D7F



Cheers Graeme

Subject: Adding help files


I'd like to add a few thousand help files (for VM:Manager) 
to MAINT 19D.
What's the proper way to do this?  If I just COPYFILE them 
to the disk,
HELP works, but PUT2PROD chokes the next time it tries to 
build the help
segment.  Could the segment be getting full, or is there a 
VMSES command
that should be issued to add the files, so that all the 
proper VMSES
control files get updated?

                                                       Dennis
