Re: USER DIRECT Rewritten with Wrong Volsers
Brent,
cool
if you linked the 5.3 123 mdisk as 1123 then do not forget to change the
directory statement to DIRECTORY 1123 3390 530RES
make sure you are running DIRECTXA against the USER DIRECT on the 12cc
mdisk I would rename it myself (530user direct)
to answer your second question that is pretty much the way it is normally
done (a return code of 5 is ok)

USER DIRECT Rewritten with Wrong Volsers
Good morning (not so good for me). Sometime ago I installed the VM:Suite
from CA, which included VM:Director which maintains user direct, on my
z/VM 5.2 system. I later installed z/VM 5.3 but didn?t get back to
addressing the VM:Suite until recently. I inadvertently ran VM:Director
on the 5.3 system before modifying its config files resulting in user
direct being rewritten with all the USER entry MDISK statements pointing
to the 5.2 volsers. As a result I can?t log on to my 5.3 system. To try
and rewrite my 5.3 user direct I brought up my 5.2 system and attached the
5.3 versions of 2CC as 12CC which contains the 5.3 user direct, and 19E as
119E which contains the DIRECTXA utility. I placed 12CC and 119E before
2CC and 19E in the access list and ran DIRECTXA (EDIT pointing to the USER
DIRECT on 12CC. The message I got was
z/VM USER DIRECTORY CREATION PROGRAM ? VERSION 5 RELEASE 2.0
My question is twofold;
1.Why is the 5.2 version of DIRECTXA being invoked if the 5.3
version is first in the access list, and
2.Is there an easier way to rewrite my 5.3 user direct

Re: USER DIRECT Rewritten with Wrong Volsers
Brent,
1) You got that message because DIRECTXA was run from the saved segment on
your 5.2 system not from the mdisk.
2) I do not see where you linked to the 5.3 system 123 disk to write the
directory into the DRCT area.
3) If you did not then you just wrote your 5.3 directory over your 5.2
directory and I hope you did not log off of MAINT

USER DIRECT Rewritten with Wrong Volsers
Good morning (not so good for me). Sometime ago I installed the VM:Suite
from CA, which included VM:Director which maintains user direct, on my
z/VM 5.2 system. I later installed z/VM 5.3 but didn?t get back to
addressing the VM:Suite until recently. I inadvertently ran VM:Director
on the 5.3 system before modifying its config files resulting in user
direct being rewritten with all the USER entry MDISK statements pointing
to the 5.2 volsers. As a result I can?t log on to my 5.3 system. To try
and rewrite my 5.3 user direct I brought up my 5.2 system and attached the
5.3 versions of 2CC as 12CC which contains the 5.3 user direct, and 19E as
119E which contains the DIRECTXA utility. I placed 12CC and 119E before
2CC and 19E in the access list and ran DIRECTXA (EDIT pointing to the USER
DIRECT on 12CC. The message I got was
z/VM USER DIRECTORY CREATION PROGRAM ? VERSION 5 RELEASE 2.0
My question is twofold;
1. Why is the 5.2 version of DIRECTXA being invoked if the 5.3
version is first in the access list, and
2. Is there an easier way to rewrite my 5.3 user direct
Thanks,
Brent
