Important

When installing a BMC AMI Ops User Interface product, the user provides USS directories base path on the installation panel, which creates the following target directories (for zAPS250, and zMUX250):

  • MUX
  • APS

The recommended mount points for target directories are as follows:

  • MUX—MUXZFS
  • APS—APSZFS

The $168MHFS installation job contains the target mount file system details.   

The runtime directories are created if the user provides runtime path during customization. You can check the following installation job for detailed information about related copy process (contains the copy and mounting steps): 

  • $206 job if using Installation System 4.01 or earlier
  • $210 job if using Installation System 4.02 or later
