Step 5: Create an IGNORED Minidisk for CA VM:Secure to Link to, If Necessary

CA VM:Secure requires a read/write minidisk from cylinder 0 to the end of the DRCT area that you intend to allocate in Step 7. This IGNORED minidisk normally belongs to $DASD$ and is usually a full–pack minidisk. If you do not have a full–pack minidisk for the DASD volume that will contain the new CP object directory, do the following:

  1. Enter VMSECURE CONFIG DASD and add the following record: 
    IGNORE $DASD$ vaddr

    vaddr

    The address of the full–pack minidisk you will create in the next step.

    Save this change.

  2. Enter VMSECURE EDIT $DASD$ and add an MDISK statement from 0 to END on the pack where the new DRCT area will be located. For example: 
    MDISK 124 3390 0 END ESA240 RR

    Save this change.
