BPXF009I FILE SYSTEM name WAS NOT MOUNTED. THE MOUNT POINT SPECIFIED IN member-name IS NOT A DIRECTORY.

Explanation

During z/OS UNIX initialization or in response to the SET OMVS=(xx) command,, the system could not mount the specified file system because the mount point specified for the file system on the MOUNT statement is not a directory. A file system can be mounted only on a directory.

In the message text:
name
The file system name specified on the MOUNT statement in the BPXPRMxx parmlib member is either the name of the file system (FILESYSTEM parameter), or the name of the DD statement (DDNAME parameter) used to allocate it. For the HFS file system, FILESYSTEM refers to the name of the HFS data set containing the file system.
member-name
The member name processed as a result of the START request.

System action

The file system is not mounted. The system continues to process other MOUNT statements.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

Verify that the mount point specified with the MOUNTPOINT parameter on the MOUNT statement in the specified member of SYS1.PARMLIB is a directory.

Do one of the following:
  • Ask the operator to correct the problem in BPXPRMxx. IPL the system to start z/OS UNIX with the revised member.
  • Ask a superuser to enter the corrected information using the TSO/E MOUNT command.
