Hi folks, I'm going through the Program Directory for DFSMS/VM FL221 and prepping the system for the installation. I've created the directory entries as I believe they should be, but I'm a little confused by a couple of things.
When logging in with the newly created DFSMS user, I get the following errors: LOGON DFSMS HCPLNM103E DASD 019D forced R/O; R/W by MAINT, R/O by 18 users HCPLNM102E DASD 051D forced R/O; R/W by MAINT HCPLNM102E DASD 01A6 forced R/O; R/W by DFSMS HCPLNM102E DASD 01A4 forced R/O; R/W by DFSMS HCPLNM102E DASD 01A2 forced R/O; R/W by DFSMS HCPLNM102E DASD 01B5 forced R/O; R/W by DFSMS I don't understand why the links are being forced as read-only. In the USER DIRECT file they are using MR in the LINK statements. The program directory instructs you to format all the mini-disks prior to installation, but I can't seem to get that to work either. Does it need to be done prior to logging on as DFSMS? Also, as part of the PLANINFO file, I'm told the following: TARGID: VMSYS:DFSMS.CONTROL SIZE: 300 BLKSIZE: 4K I'm not sure what to do with this piece of info. The VMFINS prerequisite checking indicated everything is okay, though I don't have the ISPF component installed as near as I can tell (logging on as DFSMS user generated an error about ISPVM; the user entry doesn't exist). Thank for any assistance you can provide. I'm still pretty green with VM.
