Hey folks. I want to enable/configure/etc a software package that shipped as part of the VM/ESA 2.4 ADCD distribution. I've not been able to find any references on how to do this. Is it just a matter of enabling it in SYSTEM CONFIG? Is it done with vmses/e? I'm stuck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
-Dave

Hi Dave,
I used to dabble with VM/ESA, what product are you wanting to enable?

Hi Jim, I'm trying to enable OSA/SF. It's in the directory, and its minidisks are present.

My concern is that the process for getting it running may be specific to the ADCD distribution. I say this because this was the case with dirmaint; several of the steps in the installation procedure had already been done for dirmaint in the ADCD.

Thanks,
-Dave

Dave,
In the case of ADCD’s, often times a product is “installed” (loaded) but not configured. If you can find a Program Directory or Installation Guide, you should be able to get it running. I’ll see what I can find as well.

Best regards,
Jim

That makes sense. I have a lot of VM/ESA documentation, and in there I found the OSA/SF User's Guide, but nothing that covers its installation. There's a big gap between where I am and where I want to be. ;) Thanks for your help; let me know if you find anything.

Do you also have the "OSA Planning" book? The one I have from
approximately that era is document number GC23-3870-07, ioa1pg09.boo.
I'm not sure if it fills in the gaps, but it looks like it has a chapter
"OSA in a VM/ESA Environment" that mentioned OSA/SF running on a guest
in a VM/ESA Environment, Planning for OSA/SF for VM/ESA operations, etc.

If you don't have that book I can send it over to you in case it has
some helpful info.

Will do -- not sure how well the list handles attachments so I'll shoot
you an email directly.

I believe that to enable a product it needs to be added to the SYSTEM CONFIG file on the CF1 disk. Look at the entries for those currently “installed”.
which can be displayed by a Q PRODUCT. The format is product id with the possible addition of a suffix letter. The DIRECT P390 on MAINT has a list of products
available. Note I used the last letter of the userid as the suffix letter. ?Do you have instructions on how to do the SYSTEM CONFIG update ?

Regards.
Martin.
