Configure the CA VM:Director Server Environment

Several CA VM:Director facilities must be available in order to use CA VM:Director with the SMAPI server environment. The required settings are listed as follows:

To Configure the server environment

1. Configure CA VM:Director to use APPC communications between a client issuing CA VM:Director commands, and the CA VM:Director server virtual machine. Change the configuration as follows:
   1. Add a RESID record in PRODUCT CONFIG file. For example:

      RESID resourcename
      

      resourcename

      A unique name assigned to an APPC resource identified on an IUCV statement.

      Note: For more information about the RESID record, see the Reference Guide.

   2. Add an IUCV *IDENT resourcename LOCAL statement to the VMDIRECT directory entry. For example:

      IUCV *IDENT resourcename LOCAL
      

      resourcename

      The unique name of an APPC resource.

2. Use the CONFIG DASD command to add a unique extentname field to each EXTENT statement in the file.

   Note: For more information, see EXTENT Record in the chapter "Configuration File Reference" in the Reference Guide.

3. Configure CA VM:Director to use the Servant Facility if your site is not already using it.

   Note: For information about setting up the Servant Facility, see Servant Facility.
