Hierarchical File System Considerations › Use a New File System

Use a New File System

If you do not want to install the ReportCenter code into one of your existing file systems, you must allocate a new physical file system and mount it permanently.

Your UNIX Systems Services administrator can tell you what your HFS data set naming standards are and what mount point to use for the new file system.

For more information about how to allocate and mount a file system, see IBM's UNIX System Services Planning guide.

Allocate the File System

Use the following sample JCL code as a guide to allocate a file system:

//*-------------------------------------------------------------------*
//*         ALLOCATE THE HFS                                          *
//*-------------------------------------------------------------------*
//ALLOC    EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//HFS      DD DSN=?HFSQUAL.NETMASTR.HFS,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            DSNTYPE=HFS,
//            ?VOL=SER=XXXXXX or STORCLAS=X,MGMTCLAS=X
//            SPACE=(CYL,(100,50,5)),DCB=DSORG=PO

Mount the File System

Use the following sample JCL code as a guide to temporarily mount a file system. The file system must be mounted read/write on the system where your generated installation JCL will be run. You may also issue the mount command from OMVS. See IBM's UNIX System Services documentation for details.

//*-------------------------------------------------------------------*
//*         MOUNT THE HFS TO MOUNTPOINT                               *
//*                                                                   *
//* Instructions: 1) Change ?HFSDSN to the name of the HFS file       *
//*                  that was allocated.                              *
//*                                                                   *
//*               2) Change /?cai to the mount point for your         *
//*                  installation                                     *
//*                                                                   *
//*               3) Update your BPXPARM to include the new mount     *
//*                  point.                                           *
//*                                                                   *
//*-------------------------------------------------------------------*
//MOUNTHFS EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=4096K,DYNAMNBR=50
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN  DD *
 MOUNT FILESYSTEM('?HFSDSN') +
       TYPE(HFS) MODE(RDWR) +
       MOUNTPOINT('/?cai')

Mount the File System Permanently

This file system only remains mounted until the next initial program load (IPL). To permanently mount this file system, you must update your PARMLIB BPXPRMxx member to include the mount point so subsequent IPLs mount the HFS automatically.
