If you are using an external security manager on your z/VM system, consult the doc-
umentation for your ESM on how to provide similar function via rules.
It is not necessary to format these minidisks using CMS FORMAT until requested as
part of the installation process. The entire contents will be overwritten during the
installation of the starter system, including label areas and other data. If you wish to
perform CMS FORMAT as a verification before beginning the install, it will do no
harm, but will consume significant time due to the size of the repository minidisks.
3. Ensure that users can create VDISKs by updating the settings in the z/VM SYSTEM
CONFIG. file to permit creation of VDISKs. Consult the z/VM documentation in
Appendix C, "IBM References" on page 40 for more information on updating
SYSTEM CONFIG.
1. Ensure that the NOVSTART userid is not logged on to z/VM.
2. Log into any other z/VM userid via a tn3270 session.
3. Link the NOVSTART minidisks by typing:
4. If your disk management tool does not automatically format minidisks for use with
CMS, prepare the F000 minidisk for use.
Some CMS disk and directory management tools do not automatically prepare mini-
disks for use with CMS. To do this, you need to use the CMS FORMAT command
to prepare the disk for use. If your disk management tool automatically formats your
minidisks before making them available, skip this step.
An example FORMAT command and execution should look similar to the following:
