I have mounted a separate R/W filesystem at the /usr/lpp/internet/server_root . If you have "something" in /usr/lpp/internet/server_root, then copy that data into the new filesystem by mounting the new filesystem at a temporary mount point (such as /tmp/server_root) and use something to copy the data (I use pax as root). Example:
mkdir /tmp/server_root zfsadmin define -aggregate ..zfs-vsam-dataset-name.. -kilobytes ..size-in-kb.. zfsadmin format -aggregate ..zfs-vsam-dataset-name.. -compat -group 0 -owner 0 -perms o755 mount -f ..zfs-vsam-dataset-name.. /tmp/server_root pax -peWx -rw /usr/lpp/internet/server_root /tmp/ unmount /tmp/server_root mount -f ..zfs-vsam-dataset-name.. /usr/lpp/internet/server_root Update your BPXPRMnn member to mount this new zFS dataset. Note that the "x" in the pax options (-peWx) requires that the userid (RACF) have the AUDITOR attribute in RACF. Also, doing it this way allows a shared HTTP configuration if you are in a sysplex and have UNIX sysplex sharing active. That is SYSPLEX(YES) in your BPXPRMnn member. If you are step up in UNIX sysplex mode, but want unique per-system HTTP environments, that is a bit more complicated. But not real complicated. I'll go into it if you need it. I have some subdirectories set up as "sysplex wide" and others as "per system". -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets® 9151 Boulevard 26 • N.
