Replacing the current z/VM user ID filter

Use the chiucvallow command to replace the current z/VM® user ID filter with a filter defined by a filter file.

[root]# chiucvallow -s <filter>

where <filter> specifies the filter file. chiucvallow first validates the new filter and then replaces the current filter. If necessary, use chiucvallow -e <filter> to correct verification errors. You can use chiucvallow -V <filter> to validate the specifications in the filter file without replacing the current filter.

[root]# chiucvallow -s /etc/ts-filters/filterb

Tip: You can replace the filter as part of the boot process, for example as part of an init script (for example, rc.local or boot.local). Replacing the filter can be a useful alternative to specifying a filter with the kernel parameters, especially if the filter is extensive.
