Starting colony address spaces

To set up a physical file system in a colony address space, create a cataloged procedure in SYS1.PROCLIB to start the colony address space. Colony address spaces cannot be started using the START operator command.

Rule: The name of the procedure must match the name specified on an ASNAME operand on the FILESYSTYPE statement in BPXPRMxx that starts physical file systems in this colony address space.

Example: An NFS Client with the cataloged procedure NFSCLNT is associated with the following FILESYSTYPE statement:

FILESYSTYPE TYPE (NFS)
    ENTRYPOINT(GFSCINIT)
    ASNAME(NFSCLNT)

The procedure must contain the statement:

EXEC PGM=BPXVCLNY

For the complete sample NFS client cataloged procedure, see z/OS Network File System Guide and Reference.
