Allocate Three Separate File Systems for Installation

You must create four USS directory paths to install CA CSM. Although CA CSM can be installed with all four directory paths in a single file system, the recommended configuration is to create separate file systems for the msm, msmruntime, and msminstall directories. The mpm directory serves as a mount point for file systems that CA CSM creates and manages during operation.

Business Value:

The use of separate file systems eliminates single point-of-failure for the application by separating the CA CSM SMP/E USS environment from the application runtime USS environment. In addition, creating a separate file system for msminstall allows the space that is used for the CA CSM installation files to be reclaimed once the installation is completed.
