OMVS ROOT
Hello i have questions, if u would answer: The root file system is so large . the HFS has extended beyond the size10656000 1k blocks...it is a multifile extended to 9 volumes. i want to reduced it..so i will use PAX with option M so that will not copy data from other data sets mounted at directries.only (omvs.root) which is mounted on (/) to be copied our system is ZOS V1R4.PAX -M is valid with V1R7so what is the equivalent in V1R4 Thank You, Ahmed Regards _ Build up your own free world with Maktoob Forums! http://www.maktoob.com/forum -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
where does your OMVS Root file live?
Does your root ZFS exist on your SYSRES or does it get moved after receiving it from IBM? Do you rename it to reflect the OS level or version?

Our VERSION root is on the SYSRES and contains the SYSRES name, which we change whenever we install maintenance,...SYS1.VSver1.OMVS.ROOT , SYS1.VSver2.OMVS.ROOT, etc. Our SYSPLEX root is in the SMS System pool.

There is a certain number of target sets for cloning in each sysplex that get rotated. All the zFS (formerly HFS) files associated with the z/OS target zone are part of the sysres set, not just the root. The exception is several Java versions because I prefer not to maintain them with SMP/E (because I see zero benefit), but if I did, they would be part of the same zones so the maintenance version that gets cloned lives with the other "sysres" maintenance zFS files.

Re: where does your OMVS Root file live?
Not using zFS for Root. Using zFS for user and product file systems. Root file systems for my 3 LPARs all z/OS 1.10 For KMC1 LPAR - HFS.ZOS0110.KMC1.ROOT renamed and directed during ServerPac install to Master Catalog/IODF/SMPE volume. For CPAC LPAR - HFS.ZOS0110.CPAC.ROOT on SYSRES volume one pack system. For KMFC LPAR - HFS.ZOS0110.KMFC.ROOT on a library volume. HFS is alias to user catalog in master catalog.

I copy all SMP/E maintained using ADRDSSU to datasets named like
OMVS.WSUMVS1.ZOS111.ROOT.RSU1005
ROOT FILESYSTEM('OMVS.&LPARNAME..&ZOSLVL..ROOT.&RSULEVL')
TYPE(ZFS) MODE(READ)
When I clone an maintenance level. These days, I never IPL from the
SMP/E Targets, I copy the resvol (mod9) and the 4 volumes worth of zfs
(mod3).

Do you rename it to reflect the OS level or >version? We bear some elements with other posters thus far, but we definitely have our own rhythm... We configure the ServerPac jobs to drop the IBM-supplied HFS' on a secondary logical SYSRES (&SYSR2). Dataset names are of the form: SYS1.OMVS.&SYSR1..whatever (ROOT, JAVA, XML, MQS, etc.) Dataset names use &SYSR1 instead of &SYSR2 to match our SMP/E CSI & Zone naming conventions. None of these are ZFS, none are SMS-managed. We use FDR for physcial copy of the &SYSR1/&SYSR2 volumes (SADUMP is on &SYSR2), then RENAME the newly copied HFS'. Because we don't yet share MCAT (sigh), SYS1.OMVS is an MLA to reduce the amount of catalog work we have to do for changes to ServerPac content. Sysplex root is a separate HFS on isolated DASD (mod-1), also SYS1.OMVS, also NOT SMS managed. User, application, and ISV product filesystems are typically SMS managed and ZFS. We set VERSION to &SYSR1 in BPXPRMxx, and we use automount to manage our multiple maintenance HFS' to keep in sync with our SYSRES / Zones: auto.master: ... /service/whatever /etc/service_whatever.map ... service_whatever.map: ... filesystem SYS1.OMVS..ROOT ... And, in SMP/E our DDDEFs for HFS elements are prefixed with: /service/whatever/&SYSR1./ Regards, Art Gutowski Ford Motor Company -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
