I am fairly new to the DSFS process under z/OS. I struggled with some startup hurdles and got it working on my test system. I even repeated the setup (with hurdles) on my production system. Thanks Colin Surprise - the test system has stopped working with no external signs of why. I have restarted it (stoppfs, and restart). It happily says (in the syslog) -=-= IDFS00153I DSFS kernel: Initializing z/OS DSFS Version 02.05.00 Service Level OA64788 - HZFS450. Created on Wed May 31 21:59:50 EDT 2023. Address space asid x24. IDFS00118I No IDFZPRM DD specified in DSFS proc. Parmlib search being used. IDFS00352I DSFS is using HLQ EXCLUDE mode. IDFS00039I DSFS kernel: initialization complete. -=-= OMVS shows it as an active PFS File Type HOWEVER DSFS has done none of its initialization for the standard directories like /dsfs/bin /dsfs/txt or /dsfs/rec Attempts to cd there are met with EDC5129I No such file or directory. -=-=-= What I have noticed is that my working system shows a type DSFS filesystem mount... Test does not. I mount I have also researched the internet and found warnings about NEVER mounting the Utility ZFS to ZFS... Let DSFS do all the formatting etc. I cannot prove the negative that this has never happened on my systems. (would DSS cause problems trying to quiese it for dumping?)
The entire point of this post is that obviously the DSFS colony address space could not perform an intended function. The problem is that it does not provide externalized error message to aid in correcting whatever it is (not) complaining about. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
