After you complete the installation, you need to specify OMVS=
xx in
the IEASYSxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB if you want to start in full function
mode. If you do not specify the OMVS parameter or if you specify OMVS=DEFAULT,
the kernel is started in minimum mode with all parmlib statements
taking their default values. You can specify:
- OMVS=nn, where nn is the BPXPRMnn member
- OMVS=(nn,mm,...), where (nn,mm,...) is
the set of BPXPRMxx members to use when locating parmlib statements
to configure the system services. The first value set for a parameter
is the one that is used; if a later member in the list specifies a
different value, that value is ignored.
For example, say you have
three systems that share parmlib members but do not want to share
file systems. Define these parmlib members:
- BPXPRMLI, which specifies system limits for systems 1 and 2
- BPXPRML3, which specifies system limits for system 3, which needs
more processes than the other two systems
- BPXPRMF1, which specifies file system setup for system 1
- BPXPRMF2, which specifies file system setup for system 2
- BPXPRMF3, which specifies file system setup for system 3
For system 1, the OMVS parameter on the IEASYSxx parmlib
member is:
OMVS=(F1,LI)
For system 2,
the OMVS parameter on the IEASYSxx parmlib member is:
OMVS=(F2,LI)
For
system 3, the OMVS parameter on the IEASYSxx parmlib member is:
OMVS=(F3,L3)
If you want
the BPXPRMxx member to be shared by more than one system, you must
define system symbols in the IEASYMxx member. Symbols such as system
name (&SYSNAME) can be used in BPXPRMxx when referring to file
system names.
Example: In order to have different file
systems mounted at /etc on each system in the sysplex:
MOUNT FILESYSTEM('OMVS.&SYSNAME..ETC')
TYPE(HFS) MODE(RDWR) MOUNTPOINT (/etc)
