CA CSM dynamically creates and mounts application file systems as needed to manage space required for downloaded products and maintenance files. These file systems and their associated mount points are maintained in an application mount table in the CA Datacom/MSM database. The Automount setting specifies whether the MSMTC address space will mount these file systems at initialization. We recommend that Automount for Mount Point Management should always be enabled.
Business Value:
CA CSM dynamically creates file systems and manages them. It is essential that all of these file systems be mounted and available under USS for CA CSM to function correctly. The Automount setting directs the CA CSM Mount Point Management Services to verify that all of these file systems are mounted during initialization. If the file systems are not mounted, the Mount Point Management Service mounts them according to the application mount table during initialization. This verification ensures that CA CSM will have access to all of the required file systems and will prevent application failures.
This application parameter is initially set during the installation process using the mpmAutomount keyword in the MSMSetupOptionsFile.properties file used. It can be changed in the web-based interface (Settings, System Settings, Mount Point Management).
Additional Considerations:
CA CSM can also unmount all of the application file systems whenever the application shuts down. This functionality is controlled using the web-based interface (Settings, System Settings, Mount Point Management).
More Information:
See the Administration Guide for more information about the mpmAutomount keyword.
