 Version 3 Release 4 (5684-095) or later is required for SNA

communications (3270 and APPC) between an ADSM client and the server.

5.3.3 Program Installation/Service Considerations

This section describes items that should be considered before you install or service Tivoli ADSM for VM.

VMSES/E is required to install and service this product.

If multiple users install and maintain licensed products on your system, there may be a problem
getting the necessary access to MAINT's 51D disk. If you find that there is contention for write access
to the 51D disk, you can eliminate it by converting the Software Inventory from minidisk to Shared File
System (SFS). See the VMSES/E Introduction and Reference manual, section "Changing the
Software Inventory to an SFS Directory", for
information on how to make this change.

Customers will no longer install and service Tivoli ADSM for VM strictly using the MAINT user ID, but
will use a new user ID named 5654A09A. This is the IBM suggested user ID name. You are free to
change this to any user ID name you wish, however, a PPF override must be created.

Note: It may be easier to make the above change during the installation procedure 6.2, “Plan Your
Installation For Tivoli ADSM for VM” step 8 on page
17, than after you have installed this product.

If you decide to move Tivoli ADSM for VM from minidisk to Shared File System (SFS) after you have
initially installed the product, or if you want to change from the default SFS file pool or directories, then
you will need to follow the steps in Appendix C, “Moving Tivoli ADSM for VM to SFS Directories and
Creating PPF Override” on page 45.
These steps will have you create the SFS directories, move the
files to the SFS directories and create a PPF override. You can also refer to the VMSES/E
Introduction and Reference
manual for more information on creating a PPF override.

RSU tapes will be supplied as necessary. Service between RSU tapes can be obtained through
CORrective service.

5.4 DASD Storage and User ID Requirements

Figure 8 on page 11 lists the user ID and minidisks that are used to install and service the Tivoli ADSM
for VM program product. The figure does not include DASD storage requirements needed for the Tivoli
ADSM for VM database or server machine. These requirements are discussed in Tivoli ADSTAR
Distributed Storage Manager for VM: Quick Start
.

Important Installation Notes:

User ID(s) and minidisks will be defined in 6.2, “Plan Your Installation For Tivoli ADSM for VM” on
page 14 and are listed here so that you can get an idea of the resources that you will need prior
to allocating them.

5654A09A is a default user ID and can be changed. If you choose to change the name of the
installation user ID you need to create a Product Parameter Override (PPF) to reflect this change.
This can be done in 6.2, “Plan Your Installation For Tivoli ADSM for VM” step 8 on page 17.
