Establish the ZFS Directory for the Software

To establish the ZFS directory for the server:

    Procedure
  1. Create the following JCL to define the ZFS data set:
    //********* JOB CARD GOES HERE ************//
    
    //
    
    //*************DEFINE ZFS ******************//
    
    //DEFIADR EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
    
    //ROOTIAD DD DSNAME=OMVS.IADMIN,
    
    //  SPACE=(CYL,(1200,5),CONTIG,ROUND),DCB=(DSORG=PO),
    
    //  DSNTYPE=ZFS,
    
    //  DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
    
    //  STORCLAS=STANDARD
  2. Add a job card and submit the JCL.
  3. Mount the file system by issuing the following commands at the command line in Option 6 of ISPF:
    MOUNT FILESYSTEM('OMVS.IADMIN')
    
    MOUNTPOINT ('/u/iadmin') TYPE (ZFS) MODE (RDWR)

    where:

    OMVS.IADMIN

    Is the name associated with the file system defined in Step 1.

    /u/iadmin

    Is the mount entry point for the file system. Specify a directory appropriate for your site.

    The specified directory must exist before you issue the MOUNT command. After the directory is created, the minimum permissions for all directory levels leading to iadmin must be 755.

  4. Update your BPXPRMxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB to permanently mount the file system.
