About this task
This topic shows how to remove support for the alternate
sysplex root.Perform the following steps to remove the alternate
sysplex root support.
Procedure
- In the BPXPRMxx parmlib member, replace the ALTROOT FILESYSTEM
statement with the following statement:
ALTROOT NONE
Because
the ALTROOT NONE and ALTROOT FILESYSTEM statements are mutually exclusive,
only one can be specified in the BPXPRMxx parmlib member.
If
concatenating parmlib members result in multiple ALTROOT statements,
then the first parmlib member specified on the OMVS= operator command
that contains the ALTROOT statement will take effect.
_______________________________________________________________
- Issue a SET OMVS operator command to process the ALTROOT
NONE statement. For example:
SET OMVS=(XX)

Results
When you are done, you have removed the alternate sysplex
root support and deleted any outstanding BPXF253E messages. The alternate
sysplex root file system can be left mounted as a regular file system
on all systems in the sysplex. If you need to reestablish the alternate
sysplex root support with the same file system name, the file system
will have to be unmounted globally before it can be used in the ALTROOT
FILESYSTEM statement.
Use your preferred unmount method to unmount
the alternate sysplex root.
