VM:Archiver VMASYSAD user ID

Products

• VM:Archiver for z/VM

Issue/Introduction

Running the VM:Manager suite of products with VMANAGER currently defined as the System Administrator.

Is VMASYSAD still used?

Resolution

VMASYSAD is optional.

Optional Facility Tags are documented in the VM:Archiver Installation Guide.  The tag names in that section define values used to create a secondary administration user ID for the product.   The administration user ID is not created by default.  If you choose to employ a secondary administrator ID, you should redefine the value of the SYSADMIN tag by removing the leading asterisk from the value. By uncommenting the values, you request that the user ID defined by the SYSADMIN tag and the disk space defined by the ALOCAL tag be created during product deployment. 

Additional Information

VMANAGER is the maintenance user ID and the System Administrator for all products.  If this is not the case at your site, substitute your user IDs in place of the defaults.
