Deploying USS file systems

To deploy a product that uses USS

• Use the SMP/E CSI and its SMP/E target USS environment to track software changes only.
• For Agent Technology and Event Management, you must perform post-installation steps before you can deploy the SMP/E target data sets.
• Create copies of the USS zfs data sets on the installation or another machine to be used by the executing CA Common Services component.

  Use the following procedure to copy your USS zFS data sets. This procedure assumes that the CA Common Services component that uses USS has been successfully installed on the installation z/OS image.

  1. Make copies of the CA Common Services BASE load libraries, CAW0LINK, CAW0LOAD, CAW0LPA and CAW0PLD available on the targeted system.

     If you are deploying Agent Technology or Event Management, copies of the MFNSM load libraries, CNSMLOAD and CNSMPLD as well as the CNSMJCL, CNSMOPTV, and CNSMPROC must also be available.

  2. Create backup copies of your SMP/E USS z/FS data sets. The USS z/FS data sets are linear VSAM. Use IDCAMS REPRO to back up the data sets.

     Before creating the backup do the following:

     • Confirm that there are no CA Common Services components using the USS file system being backed up.
     • For Agent Technology, confirm that all post-installation tasks have been completed.
     • For Event Management, confirm that all post-installation tasks have been completed.
  3. Tailor and submit the SAMPJCL member on the targeted system to allocate and format the zFS data sets.
     • For Agent Technology use B6D1ALLU
     • For Event Management use D5I1ALLU
     • For Tomcat use EG11ALLU
  4. Tailor and submit the SAMPJCL member on the targeted system to create the mount points and mount the zFS data sets created in the previous step in READ/WRITE mode.

     The READ/WRITE mount is to perform configuration.

     Only the mount point directories need to be created on the targeted system.

     Delete any steps that create additional directories.

     • For Agent Technology use B6D 2MKD
     • For Event Management use D5I2MKD
     • For Tomcat use EG12MKD
  5. Restore the backups created in Step 2 into the newly allocated zFS data sets on the targeted systems.
  6. Update your BPXPRMxx member on the targeted system with the MOUNT directories for the new zFS data sets.
     • Mount zfs data sets with RO in their DSName as read only.
     • Mount zfs data sets with RW in their DSName as read/write.
