Step 1. Redefine the Product Deployment

The VMSERVER command displays the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager administrator ID entry in the VMSERVER NAMES file. Attributes for the deployment are defined as tags in this standard NAMES file. A set of previously defined attributes for a deployment is presented and may be updated during the redefinition phase. In this step you will update the entry for a deployment to reflect attributes of the new product release.

To display the NAMES file modification screen, enter the VMSERVER command. The format is:

VMSERVER name

name

Specifies the user ID of the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager administrator.

A new product release is installed with a new Product Parameter File. You will update the PPF Name field on the screen by overtyping it.

For the first token, specify the CMS file name for the Product Parameter File for this specific version of the product. If you created a PPF override file, use its file name here. If you use the supplied PPF, its name is ZVMN011A.

For the second token, specify the component name MANAGER for a minidisk installation or MANAGERSFS for a Shared File System installation.

After updates are made, press PF6 to change the entry. Press PF3 to exit the panel.

Note: For more information about the individual tag definitions for the NAMES file entry, see the appendix Product Tags in VMSERVER NAMES File.
