You do not have to install VM into SFS in order to have the ability to
use SFS for other purposes. Did you run INSTVM, SERVICE and PUT2PROD as
specified in the Installation Guide? If so, the needed machines have
been built. Do you allow AUTOLOG1 to run when you IPL? It usually starts
the SFS service machines, VMSERVR and VMSERVS, needed for the DFSMS
install. If those machines are running, you already have the needed
environment for your DFSMS install.

Hello List,
I'm reviewing the installation requirements for the DFSMS/VM
feature. I notice that it requires the VMSYS file pool. When I
installed VM many months ago, I selected to install to minidisks instead
of SFS. As a result, the SFS subsystem is not active or configured.
My question: Is there a way to easily create the required SFS
environment/pools or would re-installing VM and selecting SFS be
required?
Thanks...Chris
