Allocating the base directory (/var/Printsrv)

To allocate the Infoprint Server base directory named /var/Printsrv:
  1. Mount a separate file system at the /var mount point. /var is a symbolic link to a system-specific data set.
    Sysplex users:
    • The /var file system must be system-specific and designated NOAUTOMOVE in the BPXPRMxx parmlib member.
    • If you specify a different base directory in the base-directory attribute in the Infoprint Server configuration file, the file system that contains this directory must be system-specific and designated NOAUTOMOVE.
  2. Mount a separate file system at the /var/Printsrv mount point.
    Example: This example shows a sample BPXPRMxx member in SYS1.PARMLIB: 
    MOUNT FILESYSTEM('my.var.printsrv.filesystem')
      TYPE(ZFS) 
      MODE(RDWR) 
      NOAUTOMOVE 
      MOUNTPOINT('/&SYSNAME./var/Printsrv')
  3. Allocate at least 100 MB of DASD space for the /var/Printsrv file system.
