Allocating the base directory (/var/Printsrv)

This section shows how to allocate the Infoprint Server base directory named /var/Printsrv.

To allocate the base directory:

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.
