You want to manage two VM systems and a single directory describing them both? Then indeed you can use a subset of CSE (Cross System Extensions). You'd have one DIRMAINT running on one VM system. That DIRMAINT would use a DIRMSAT machine in the other VM system to perform directory updates. RSCS is required to send the requests from tyhe central DIRMAINT to its DIRMSAT machine(s). Somehow I doubt you want to work like that: a single directory to manage a z/VM 5.4 anfd one 5.3 would required a lot of SYSAFFIN records in the directory (with SYSAFFIN you can tell that some records in the directory are valid only for a specific system). I don't know the syntax by heart, but MAINT for example would look a bit like: USER MAINT .... SYSAFFIN system53 MDISK 190 ..... 530RES ... MDISK 193 ..... 530RES ... MDISK 19E ..... 530RES ... MDISK 19D ..... 530RES ... .... SYSAFFIN system54 MDISK 190 ..... 540RES ... MDISK 193 ..... 540RES ... MDISK 19E ..... 540RES ... MDISK 19D ..... 540RES ...
No USER DIRECT on the z/VM 5.3 system? I think to understand you have DIRMAINT there too: DIRM USER BACKUP then look for USER BACKUP on DIRMAINT 1DF 2009/4/20 Huegel, Thomas <thue...@kable.com> > > The way to keep them in sync is with the DIRMSAT machine and a single source > directory. > Read up on that a little and see if it will fit your needs. > > -----Original Message----- > From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu]on Behalf > Of sunny...@wcb.ab.ca > Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 11:57 AM > To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU > Subject: How to update the second Dirmaint > > > We have one DIRMAINT running on V5.3.
