Setup requirements

DFSMShsm requires the following information to setup and run the starter set in an SMS environment:

The catalog, with its associated alias, which must be defined before attempting to run the installation verification procedure (IVP).
An authorized user ID for the DFSMShsm-started procedure. (This user ID is also used as the high-level qualifier for the DFSMShsm-managed data sets. For the starter set, use the name DFHSM.)
The user ID of a TSO user who is authorized to issue DFSMShsm AUTH commands.
The type of JES on the system as either JES2 or JES3.
The number of cylinders to allocate to any control data set.
Guideline: Initially, allocate 10 cylinders to run the starter set. As you add more volumes and data sets to DFSMShsm control, you may need to calculate the size of the control data sets.
The volume serial number and unit type of a volume for the log data sets.
The name of the system master catalog.
The job card parameters for each job.
The volume serial number and unit type of a volume for the MCDS, BCDS, OCDS, and journal.
The name of a user catalog for the data sets that DFSMShsm is to manage.
The volume serial number and unit type of a volume for the user catalog.
A storage class name for DFSMShsm control data sets, log, and journal data sets.
A management class name for DFSMShsm data sets.
A processing unit ID for the problem determination aid (PDA) facility.
The volume serial number and unit type of a volume for the PDA data set.
