VMXIPL Utility

The VMXIPL utility writes an IPLable program on the CA VM:Director IPLDISK.

VMXIPL vaddr [prodsysid]

Definitions

vaddr

Specifies the virtual address of the minidisk where the IPLable program is to be written.

prodsysid

Specifies the user ID of the CA VM:Director service virtual machine. The default user ID from which you run the utility.

Description

When the CA VM:Director IPLDISK minidisk is initialized at logon, the VMXIPL utility updates a user logon password before initializing CMS.

(CA VM:Secure only) This utility is not necessary if the CA VM:Secure Rules Facility is implemented at your site.

The IPLDISK minidisk is owned by CA VM:Director and is defined with an RR link mode. Before running this utility, relink the minidisk with an MR link mode.

The IPLDISK minidisk cannot contain any CMS files. Therefore, you need not format this minidisk; simply running this program destroys all files residing on the minidisk.
