Enrolling User IDs in SFS

When you enroll a user ID into SFS, you allocate to that user ID the amount of space you specify from a file pool that you specify.

You enroll one user ID at a time, although you can use this procedure any number of times to add several user IDs in succession.

The default enrollment values that your SFS administrator has defined for you are used often throughout this process. These defaults will help you enroll user IDs quickly.

Note: If you are enrolling user IDs in SFS and you are not their SFS manager, the default enrollment values that appear on the screens discussed throughout this process are those of their SFS managers, and not yours.

To enroll a user in SFS

From CMS, enter the MANAGE command with the name of the user ID and the numeral 10. For example, to enroll user BLOEV01 in SFS, enter the following:

vmdirect MANAGE bloev01 10

The Work with Shared File System Menu appears.

SF7201 Work with Shared File System VM:Director -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Userid: USERID Manager: VMANAGER + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | | | Selection: | | | + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + 1: Enroll User 2: Change User's File Space Allocation 3: Delete File Space -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PF1:Help PF3:Quit PF10:Print PF12:End

The name of the user ID you entered in the command appears at the top of the screen, for display only. The name of this user ID’s directory manager also appears at the top of the screen. This is usually your own user ID, unless you are performing SFS administration tasks for a user ID that you do not normally manage.

Select option 1, Enroll User. The Enroll in File Pool screen appears.

This screen shows the name of the user ID you are enrolling, and your default enrollment values (allocation size, file pool, and user storage group) as the initial enrollment values for this user ID.

You can change any or all of these values if they are not useful for this user ID.

SF7202 Enroll in File Pool VM:Director -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Userid: USERID Manager: VMRMAINT Block Allocation: 150 File Pool : PRIVATE Storage Group : 2 Update IPL record?: NO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PF1:Help PF3:Quit PF10:Print PF12:End

To change the amount of space to allocate to this user ID, type that amount, as the number of 4K blocks, in the Block Allocation field. You can allocate any number of blocks you have available.
Note: For more information about finding your allocation limits, see Displaying Your SFS Allocation Limits.
To allocate this user ID’s file space from a different file pool from your default one, type that file pool’s name in the File Pool field. This file pool must already be known to CA VM:Director, and you must be authorized to allocate space in it.
To allocate this user ID’s file space from a different user storage group from your default one, type the number of this user storage group in the User Storage Group field. This user storage group must already be known to CA VM:Director, and you must be authorized to allocate space from it.
To make this file pool the user ID’s default one (active when a user logs on to this user ID), change the Update IPL record: field to yes. Otherwise, leave this answer as NO.
If you change this field to yes, CA VM:Director attempts to copy a sample profile to the user’s top–level directory. You can specify the profile it copies on a *SP= special comment in the directory entry or skeleton file, or the profile can default to the name SAMPLE PROFILE. CA VM:Director looks for this profile on the command issuer’s A–disk or any of the minidisks accessed by CA VM:Director, in that order.
Press ENTER to submit this allocation request to CA VM:Director.
This completes the enrollment of a user ID in SFS.
Press PF3 to return to CMS.

The CA VM:Director ENROLL command lets a user enroll a user ID in SFS in line mode, interactively or programmatically.

Note: For more information about using the ENROLL command, see the Reference Guide.
