zSecure Visual Server software
Use the information in this topic to run the zSecure Visual Server setup programs to install the software in the mainframe environment.
Software location
As described in Owners, directories, and file systems preparation, the default location for the software is /usr/lpp/c2r/V2R5M0. However, you can choose a different location. For example, you can remove the release number, or add a maintenance level to the path name.
Before running the setup jobs, update your zSecure configuration so that the C2RWIN parameter reflects your chosen software location. Specify the updated configuration in subsequent setup jobs.
Owner and location preparation for the software
- You might not want a new file system; for example, you might want to use an already mounted file system from a previous installation. To use an existing file system, comment out the jobsteps that create and mount a file system. However, you must still run the other jobsteps to set up the directories.
- Because the C2RZCZFS job mounts the file system, run it as root. This mount does not persist
after subsequent IPL. Ensure that the file system is mounted when needed. For example, you can
include the mount in your
BPXPRMxx
member. - The file system must be mounted with the SECURITY and SETUID attributes. These attributes are required because zSecure Visual runs as a daemon, and therefore requires a program-controlled environment.
For an upgrade installation, you normally do not have to prepare a new file system.
However, create a new directory into which to unpack the software. You can then start using the
upgraded software by changing the C2RWIN
parameter in the zSecure configuration and
restarting the Server.
Unpacking the software
- Before running the C2RZWUNP job, supply the zSecure configuration that contains your
customized
C2RWIN
parameter. - Job step
OS2ZFS
copies the (SMP/E-installed) software into a UNIX file. - After unpacking, the pax file is no longer needed, and you can discard it.
