Seems your file systems are already mounted. What is the output from the following?
df -Pk | grep -i zos21.omvs.etc Not following the part of mounting a filesystem to a symlink? Wouldn't it be delete the symlinks, then unmount/mount accordingly, IPL with a corrected PARMLIB(BPXPRMxx) member or make copies of your ZOS21 filesystems to mount at /Service, etc. Regards, Kevin -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Neal Eckhardt Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2015 7:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Symlink help? I am installing z.OS 2.1 from a Serverpac. I have had all of the Serverpac ZFS file systems mounted to the driving system prior to the job that created the SYMLINKS for /etc and /var. I now need to mount those same file systems to the /Service directory to put maintenance on. When I do the same mounts as before, I get the following error on the mount commands: MOUNT FILESYSTEM('Zos21.OMVS.ETC') MOUNTPOINT('/Service/etc') TYPE(ZFS) MODE(RDWR) BPXF135E RETURN CODE 00000079, REASON CODE 055B005C. THE MOUNT FAILED FOR FILE SYSTEM ZOS21.OMVS.ETC. READY When I display the /Service directory from OMVS, I get: drwxr-xr-x 6 OMVSKERN DBA 544 May 25 2013 SYSTEM drwxr-xr-x 4 OMVSKERN DBA 16384 Apr 18 2014 bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 OMVSKERN DBA 12 Aug 29 09:37 dev -> $SYSNAME/dev lrwxrwxrwx 1 OMVSKERN DBA 12 Jan 12 08:55 etc -> $SYSNAME/etc drwxr-xr-x 6 OMVSKERN DBA 8192 Jan 29 10:10 home drwxr-xr-x 2 OMVSKERN DBA 288 Apr 18 2014 lib drwxr-xr-x 2 OMVSKERN DBA 320 May 25 2013 opt drwxr-xr-x 4 OMVSKERN DBA 2432 Apr 18 2014 samples lrwxrwxrwx 1 OMVSKERN DBA 12 Aug 29 09:37 tmp -> $SYSNAME/tmp drwxr-xr-x 2 OMVSKERN DBA 256 May 25 2013 u drwxr-xr-x 10 OMVSKERN DBA 576 May 25 2013 usr lrwxrwxrwx 1 OMVSKERN DBA 12 Jan 12 08:55 var -> $SYSNAME/var I am not sure how to proceed to get the real filesystem mounted so I can do the maintenance.
