Task M9C0I026: Set Up CMS Databases

This task sets up the CA ACF2 for z/VM CMS databases. The primary @DDSN macro in the ACFFDR specifies one or more CMS databases. You must set up the service machine CMS databases. See the Administrator Guide for information about the post backup service machine.

Each database requires an entire minidisk. Task M9C0I011 defined these minidisks and task M9C0I014 formatted them.

If you are a new CA ACF2 for z/VM site, load the supplied sample databases to set up your CMS databases. If you already have CMS databases, bypass this task.

To complete this task:

  1. Select task M9C0I026 from the Task Selection Menu.
