Hello Baby, 

You seem to be using sysplex shared file systems.

If you do the "fuser -cu /JAVA64" command under UID=0 you will see who is 
currently using that file system.

Preferably, that /JAVA64 folder should be a symbolic link, pretty much like 
your /usr, /var and so. That would require some setup though (and an outage of 
the users if you wish to keep using the same path).

Maybe the easier to do now, which wouldn't require an outage, would be just 
doing just what you said.

Regards,
Leo

Subject: Dumb Question - Applying maintenance on shared sysplex root

Hello Everyone ,

  Apologize in advance for this dumb question .

  I have a requirement to put some maintenance on Java filesystem which is 
currently mounted on a shared sysplex root .We have 4 lpars (including the
sandbox) in same sysplex sharing the root file system . My customer wants to 
test the change on sandbox system before i roll out on other lpars.So , it just 
looks as below

/JAVA64 => OMVS.JAVA64.ZFS

I thought of taking a copy of OMVS.JAVA64.ZFS with a different name and mount 
it on a newly created mount point (such as /JAVA64T) for sandbox lpar 
specifically . But i am not sure who all would be still looking for the 
original mount point /JAVA64 . Is there any way i can test it specifically for 
sandbox lpar without disturbing the other 3 lpars ?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks in Advance,
Baby
