Adding a new PAS


Several data sets are allocated for each PAS. Some data sets can be shared among PASs. The others cannot be shared. Following Table describes the data sets that are allocated for each PAS.

Data set

Shared or not
shared

Description

BBIPARM

 shared

various customized BMC AMI Ops parameters

BBSECURE

 shared

customized BMC AMI Ops view/action security resource specifications

BMCPSWD

 shared

product license authorization password

SYSIN

not shared

startup/initialization parameters.

The SYSIN data set cannot be shared. You must allocated a new one for each
new PAS.

MMLDATA

 shared

monitor rules

These rules are updated by the ADLRULER and ADLRULDR views. For
more information on these views see Overview-of-using-rules-and-images.

MMLIMAGE

not shared

 list of automatically discovered Linux systems

HISTDSxx

not shared

history data sets

To add a new PAS

  1. Copy hilevel.UBBPARM member MMLPRM00 (for example, MMLPRM02).
  2. Change or add the following parameters in MMLPRMxx:

    SUBSYSID=MML2,
    RTHOST=SYSB,
    RTPORT=5101,
    END
  3. Allocate a new image data set (see Task 5—Allocating the MainView for Linux — Servers image data set).
  4. Allocate new history data sets (see Task 7—Allocating the MainView for Linux — Servers history data set).
  5. Using the current PAS (MMLPAS) started task procedure as an example, create another procedure where the SYSIN DD statement points to the new MMLPRMxx member created in step 1 and the MMLIMAGE DD statement points to the new image data set that you allocated in step 3, and the HISTDSxx DD statements point to the history data sets allocated in step 4.
  6. Add the new PAS procedure to your system startup parameter library (for example, SYS1.PARMLIB(COMMNDxx).
  7. Start the MainView for Linux — Servers PAS; see, Managing-the-components.
  8. Start the RTServer; see, Managing the components.
  9. Start the data servers; see, Managing-the-components.
