USS_AUTOMOUNT_DELAY

Description:

Automount delay configuration values in a sysplex are at least 10 minutes

Reason for check:

Each configuration should have a delay time of at least 10 minutes. Anything lower can cause the system to hang, continually trying to unmount file systems and failing. The message will show the automount configured directory, the configuration name and the delay value.

z/OS® releases the check applies to:

z/OS V1R4 and later.

User override of IBM values:

The following sample shows the defaults for customizable values for this check. Use this sample to make permanent check customizations in an HZSPRMxx parmlib member used at IBM Health Checker for z/OS startup. If you just want a one-time only update to the check defaults, omit the first line (ADDREPLACE POLICY) and use the UPDATE statement on a MODIFY hzsproc command. Note that using non-POLICY UPDATEs in HZSPRMxx can lead to unexpected results and is therefore not recommended. End of change
