Fred,
I sympathize. I had the same problem. I support USS here at Met
Life and we handled this problem in the following manner:
Only the critical USS HFSs are included in BPXPRMxx at most maybe 10 - 12
HFSs.
(This is to avoid having to use change control to update it whenever a new
file system requires mounting.)
We use our automation package (BMC AutoOperator) to trap any BPXF135E
error messages at IPL time and generate an email for notification.
We run bookmanger on our web site and to make it easier for the
BookManager administrator, so I wrote a rexx exec that runs from a proc at
IPL time and mounts all BOOKMANAGER HFSs. The exec generates an email to
me on any mount failures. The same exec is also used to manage the list,
featuring rebuild, list, mount and unmount functions. I haven't done it
yet, but this exec could be easily modified to handle all mounts except
ROOT. If you'd like a copy of the exec, let me know and I'll send it to
you.

Subject: [IBM-MAIN] Checking if all UNIX Filesystems were
mounted successfully at IPL
Hi folks.
I'm looking for a way of automatically verifying that all Filesystems
specified in BPXPRMxx were successfully mounted at IPL.
We've currently got a rather ugly REXX that chains through MVS control
blocks to locate the BPXPRMxx members, extract the filesystem names,
substitute system symbols and then compare the results against the mount
table via the getmntent syscall service.
Please tell me that there's an easier and more reliable way.
