According to chapter 7.5.2 of Unix Planning Guide, you have to IPL with new sysplex root -- take care of your mount statements in BPXPRM member. You can try to manually re-create the symlink links and unmount/mount the file systems accordingly, of course. But even if this works (which I do not expect without some kind of force parameter) I assume it also will lead to IPL because Unix should have open file descriptors pointing to '/etc' and '/var'. You have z/OS V1R11 and might want to read about alternate sysplex root in chapter 5.8 of the Planning Guide. May be you can avoid IPL with the new function.

I get error message: "The symlink defined by /etc [/var] already exists as a different file type. Please correct and resubmit." I have searched the archives and read _UNIX System Services User's Guide_ and _UNIX System Services Command Reference_ and the _ABCs of z/OS System Programming: Volume 9_ Chapters 2-5 to no avail. Do I need to delete and recreate these directories? If so, how do I make sure I get the correct DIR mountpoints and the SYML pointers? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
