Attributes data set

To allocate and modify the attributes data set, perform the following tasks:

Allocate a fixed-block partitioned data set or a fixed-block sequential data set with a record length of 80.
Copy the sample member GFSAPATT from the prefix.NFSSAMP data set into the allocated attributes data set.
Modify the attributes to suit your installation. NFS system server sample attribute table shows the sample attributes data set. You can specify three sets of attributes within the attributes data set.
- Data set creation attributes
- Processing attributes
- Site attributes.

Note:

Client users can override the processing and data set creation attributes (for their own sessions), but not the site attributes.
The attributes data set specified on the NFSATTR DD statement of the mvsnfs startup procedure is read during server startup processing. Further changes to this data set do not take effect until the server is restarted. Also, whenever any attributes are changed, all the previous existing mount points have to be unmounted and mounted again (using the umount and mount client commands) if you want the mount points to pick up the new attributes.

Specify this attributes data set for the NFSATTR DD statement in the MVSNFS cataloged procedure.
