Installation Guide › Create Product Parameter File (PPF) Override › Step 1. Create a new $PPF override file

Step 1. Create a new $PPF override file

Create an override file either manually, using an editor, or use the Make Override Panel function when prompted by the VMFINS INSTALL command during product installation.

Create or modify the variable declarations area (:DCL) so it looks like the following sample.

************************************
* VM:Secure - SFS install   	 *
************************************
:OVERLST. VMSECURESFS
:VMSECURESFS. VMSECURESFS ZVMX031A
:DCL. UPDATE

&APPLX DIR NEWPOOL:ZVMX031A.APPLYALT
&APPLZ DIR NEWPOOL:ZVMX031A.APPLYPROD

&BLD4Z DIR NEWPOOL:ZVMX031A.TPUBLIC
&SAMPZ DIR NEWPOOL:ZVMX031A.SAMPLE
&BLD6Z DIR NEWPOOL:ZVMX031A.HELP
&BAS1Z DIR NEWPOOL:ZVMX031A.BASE
:EDCL.
:END.

If your $PPF override file was not created on the Software Inventory Minidisk at file mode letter D, then move the file to that disk. Compile your changes to create the usable PPF file from the $PPF file.

VMFPPF overname VMSECURESFS

overname

Defines the name of your override file.

Step 2. Allocate the SFS Directories

Use the ENROLL command to allocate an SFS file space for the owner of the directories and then issue a CREATE DIRECTORY command to create the directories named in your PPF Override file.

Allow the VMANAGER user ID to write into the directories by issuing the GRANT AUTHORITY command for each directory, with the attributes WRITE and NEWWRITE.

Note: For more information about the use and format of the commands ENROLL, CREATE DIRECTORY, and GRANT AUTHORITY, see IBM SFS documentation.

Step 3. Continue with the Product Installation

Restart the product installation in the chapter Installing Product Materials at step 1.3 by issuing the VMFINS command with the PLAN option. In that step, and in subsequent steps, use the name of your PPF Override file wherever the ppfname is present in the install commands.
