Task KVC0I030—Define the Server

This task defines the server as a user in the z/VM CP directory.

This task contains the panels:

• KVC0‑I030—Define the CA Top Secret Server
• KVC0‑I031—Modify Prototype Directory
• KVC0‑I032—Update CP Directory

For 3380 DASD models, the minimum number of cylinders for the Security/Backup Files is 14. The Audit and Recovery Files require at least one cylinder each.

The security database files are maintained on OS‑formatted DASD volumes. If you have previously installed CA Top Secret, you may have allocated the security database files on real OS DASD volumes using the TSSMAINT utility.

If the security database files are not allocated on OS DASD volumes, each file (Security, Audit/Tracking, Recovery, Backup and CPF Recovery) must be placed (created) on its own minidisk and formatted during this task.

Important! Do not place the Security File on the same volume as the Backup or Recovery Files.

CA Top Secret z/VSE or z/OS cannot access Security database files formatted by this task.

When defining minidisks 100 to103 to the server, use RR as the link type. This link type allows the parameter file and the LMP key file to be updated from another machine while the CA Top Secret server is active.

For information about the server DASD requirements, see Server Machine DASD Requirements.

To define the CA Top Secret server

1. From the Task Selection Menu, select panel KVC0‑I030.
2. To define the CA Top Secret server using a prototype directory entry:
   1. Enter 1 and press F2

      Panel KVC0‑I031 appears with a prototype directory.

   2. Match the prototype directory entry to your installation's requirements. Fields in lowercase require modification.

      Note: Panel KVC0‑I031 may consist of two pages; press F8 to go to the next page.

      Note: XEDIT does not verify the accuracy or consistency of the answers. Use the program that updates your directory for this type of verification.

   3. Press F2

      The sample directory is saved in the file "userid DIRECT B," where userid is the CA Top Secret server ID specified in Task KVC0I000.

      Panel KVC0‑I032 appears.

   4. Update the CP directory with the CA Top Secret server definitions. The panel automatically displays the file ID.
3. If the CA Top Secret server is already been defined
   1. Enter 2 and press F2.
   2. Exit this task or use another terminal to access the current CP directory source file and insert the sample directory entry with CA Top Secret server definitions.
   3. Issue the appropriate command to update the online CP directory. When the update is completed, reenter this task and press F2 to confirm action.
4. Press F3.
