Cloning USS files
All: How do I go about cloning part of a HFS file system across LPARs? What I am trying to do is to copy part (one directory and all sub-directories) from one HFS file on one LPAR into an HFS file on another LPAR. The HFS file containing the desired directories is mounted as root on one file system, which is the downlevel system from which I am migrating. I want to carve out a copy of selected directories and files from it and put them into an HFS file that will be mounted and used on the uplevel system. What are the steps I need to do to accomplish this?

Re: Cloning USS files
Mike Do the LPARS share the same catalog for the HFS files ?, if so you can create a new HFS file mount it and use the Unix cp command to copy the files across "cp -R /current /new/hfs/mount/point", once the copy has completed unmount the new hfs file. Go to the other lpar mount your new hfs and copy out whatever files/directories you need. If the lpars do not share a catalog, we use ADRDSSU to dump the file and the use ADRDSSU on the other lpar to restore the hfs with a new name, then mount it and you can copy out what you need.

Mike
First, you might get a little more insight if you asked over
on the mvs-oe list.
Second, I've been porting Apache to z/OS recently, and here's
what I did to reserve space for the Apache files:
1. submit a job to allocate the HFS:
//ZFSAPACH JOB ,'ZFS ALLOCATE',NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
// USER=IBMUSER,PASSWORD=1CIRCUS1,
// CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
// SET JOBID=ZFSAPACH
//*
//* This job defines and formats a ZFS data set to hold the
//* Apache server from IBM
//*
//* IOEAGFMT is documented in SC24-5989
//* Distributed File Service ZFS Administration
//*
//*
//DEFINE EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DASD0DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=HFSTUF
//SYSINDD *
DEFINE CLUSTER (NAME(APACHE.ZFS) -
VOLUMES(HFSTUF) -
LINEAR CYL(600 40) SHAREOPTIONS(3))
/*
//CREATE EXEC PGM=IOEAGFMT,REGION=0M,
// PARM=('-aggregate APACHE.ZFS -compat')
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//STDOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//STDERR DD SYSOUT=*
//CEEDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//*
2. In my PARMLIB member BPXPRMBB (you will probably use a
different member name), include these lines:
MOUNTFILESYSTEM('APACHE.ZFS')
TYPE(ZFS)
MODE(RDWR)
MOUNTPOINT('/usr/lpp/zApache')
[this is to ensure the system is mounted at ipl time in the future]
3. Under omvs, issue these commands:
su
cd /usr/lpp
mkdir zApache
/usr/sbin/mount -t zfs -f APACHE.ZFS /usr/lpp/zApache
At this point you have a place to move your files to, using
pax or tar or copytree or whatever mechanism you prefer.
HTH.

Even in a shared file system environment the sysres root should be mounted read only. Example: su cd /service/usr/lpp mkdir zApache I realize in your sandbox (P390, flex?) this probably isn't a concern. Right, flex-es on a Thinkpad. But thanks for pointing this out.

Re: Cloning USS files
There are several directories and files that are associated with the major application in use here. Mike: You probably already know but before you change the mount point to this new HFS, you should clean up the directory in the root or you'll simply lose the space in root. Just a thought.
