Incorrect Installation Symptoms

This section contains some symptoms of incorrect installation and their solutions.

Spooling Initialization is Complete

Symptom

The CA ACF2 for z/VM service machine was autologged before CA ACF2 for z/VM displayed the following message, resulting in an IUCV error:

HCPWRS2512I spooling initialization is complete

Error

The CA ACF2 for z/VM service machine is not ACF2VM and you did not specify it in the SRVMID operand of the VMXAOPTS macro.

Solution

Specify the service machine user ID in the VMXAOPTS macro. Reassemble HCPAC0 and regenerate CP.

Invalid Password Message

Symptom

After the first IPL with CA ACF2 for z/VM installed, users are getting an invalid password message when logging on with correct passwords.

Error

You did not correctly copy the Logonid database to the second level CA ACF2 for z/VM service machine. The second level machine points to the default Logonid database that CA ACF2 for z/VM shipped.

Solution

Ensure that the second level machine is accessing the correct Logonid database. If you assembled the Logonid database on the first level, delete the CA ACF2 for z/VM default Logonid database on second level and be sure to copy the Logonid database from the first level to the correct minidisk on second level.

PRG005 Error

Symptom

A PRG005 error, and possibly other error codes, occur in autologged virtual machines. Other logged on virtual machines work normally. Other symptoms of the AUTOLOG error include:

Error

You probably added a local module to DMKLOG, allowing an autolog without a password.

Solution

Ensure the local mod does not bypass CA ACF2 for z/VM validation. If a local mod causes a password validation bypass for autologged machines, modify the SAVEWRK1 field in DMKLOG so the password bit (PSWRDOK) is on. (IBM turned on the other bits in the SAVEWRK1 field.) After the SAVEWRK1 field, DMKLOG branches to LOG00 and continues normal processing. Because the PSWRDOK is on, DMKAC2LG builds the minilogonid control block CA ACF2 for z/VM needs. After DMKAC2LG builds this minilogonid control block, it turns the PSWRDOK bit off.

DMSFRE161T Message Issued

Error

You applied IBM service to CMS, but did not reassemble the CMS modules with ACF2VM intercepts.

Solution

You must reassemble the CMS programs with the CA ACF2 for z/VM source code intercepts and execute the ACFGEND utility to create new modules with CA ACF2 for z/VM intercepted programs in them.

Undefined HCPAL0 and HCPAL0MC References

Error

You did not select the upper case language support and did not delete the UCENG definition in CAXALOAD.

Solution

When you comment or delete the LANG= parameter of VMXAOPTS, you must also delete the UCENG definition in CAXALOAD.
