Enabling CA VM:Director Access to ESM-Controlled Resources

Before the CA VM:Director server can operate with an ESM, the ESM must be configured to enable the server to have access to certain system resources. The way in which access is granted depends on the specific ESM product being used.

The following lists the CA Top Secret for z/VM commands needed to give CA VM:Director access to the resources it needs to operate.

The ESM provides access to:

• The virtual machines for CA VM:Director and its servant facility are:

  TSS CREATE(VMDIRECT) NAME('VMDIRECT') DEPT(VMSYSTM) PASS(password) TYPE(USER)
  TSS CREATE(VMX$0001) NAME('VMX$0001') DEPT(VMSYSTM) PASS(password) TYPE(USER)
  TSS CREATE(VMX$0002) NAME('VMX$0002') DEPT(VMSYSTM) PASS(password) TYPE(USER)
  

• Each virtual machine’s owned minidisks by that machine:

  TSS ADDTO(VMDIRECT)  VMMDISK(VMDIRECT.)
  TSS ADDTO(VMX$0001)  VMMDISK(VMX$0001.)
  TSS ADDTO(VMX$0001)  VMMDISK(VMX$0001.)
  

• A minidisk that maps the CP directory space from the server:

  TSS PERMIT(VMDIRECT) VMMDISK($DASD$.004) ACCESS(MREAD)
  

• The server 194 common disk by each servant virtual machine:

  TSS PERMIT(VMX$0001) VMMDISK(VMDIRECT.0194) ACCESS(READ)
  TSS PERMIT(VMX$0002) VMMDISK(VMDIRECT.0194) ACCESS(READ)
  

• Bring up the product server by system control virtual machines:

  TSS ADDTO(xxxxxxxx)  VMMACH(VMDIRECT)
  TSS PERMIT(OPERATOR) VMMACH(VMDIRECT) ACCESS(AUTOLOG)
  TSS PERMIT(AUTOLOG1) VMMACH(VMDIRECT) ACCESS(AUTOLOG)
  

• Bring up the servant machines from the product server:

  TSS ADDTO(xxxxxxxx)  VMMACH(VMX$0001)
  TSS ADDTO(xxxxxxxx)  VMMACH(VMX$0002)
  TSS PERMIT(VMDIRECT) CPCMD(AUTOLOG)
  TSS PERMIT(VMDIRECT  VMMACH(VMX$0001) ACCESS(AUTOLOG)
  TSS PERMIT(VMDIRECT  VMMACH(VMX$0002) ACCESS(AUTOLOG)
  

• Issue Diagnose X'A0' from the product server:

  TSS PERMIT(VMDIRECT) DIAG(A0) ACTION(VMPRIV)
