The VMFINS command in the previous section produces a report file containing a list of the resources needed to install and service the product. The file has the same CMS file name as the PPF file, and the file type is PLANINFO. It is created on the VMANAGER A-disk. Several alternative methods are available to allocate the needed user ID entry and disk space specified in the PLANINFO file.
In this step, disk space is allocated and owned by a VM user ID created specifically for one release of this product. The default user ID for this user is the same as the PPF CMS file name.
Disk space may be allocated either on minidisks or on Shared File System (SFS) directories. Minidisk space is often easier to setup, but is more complex to manage in that they need to be enlarged when more files are added during service. SFS directories provide more automatic space management, but need more time to setup initially.
Note: For more information about how the VMALLOC command is configured and used, see the appendix Allocating User ID Entries and Disk Space, and then issue the command as described.
To create the product staging area user ID and allocate minidisk space, enter the following command:
VMALLOC PRODUCT ppfname component
Specifies the CMS file name for the Product Parameter File for this specific version of the product. If you created a PPF override file, use its file name here. If you use the supplied PPF, its name is ZVME031A.
Specifies the name of the component. Use the name VMDIRECT for installing on minidisks. Use the name VMDIRECTSFS for installing on SFS.
Depending on the configuration described in the appendix Allocating User ID Entries and Disk Space, you may have to perform additional steps to finish the allocation task using DIRECTXA or a Directory Manager product.
An SFS Installation requires the following additional steps:
Enroll the user ZVME031A in a SFS filepool using the CMS ENROLL command. This command may only be issued from a user authorized as an SFS Administrator for the filepool.
Create the necessary directories for user ZVME031A with the CMS CREATE DIRECTORY command. The suggested fully qualified directory names are defined in the :DCL section of the VMDIRECTSFS component override section of the ZVME031A PPF file.
Give the VMANAGER user ID WRITE and NEWWRITE access to those directories with the CMS GRANT AUTHORITY command.
