Setting up the ADCD package
Before you configure Z instances, set up the ADCD package.
When you run the installer, a non-root user ID (ibmsys1) is created. The user ID is required to enable the z/OS® images. You can also create other non-root user IDs.
To set up the ADCD package, complete the following steps:
- Check the downloadDirector directory. If other files exist in the directory, move the existing files to another directory, or change the directory set to download the files to a ZD&T specific directory.
- Switch to the non-root user ID (ibmsys1).
- Create a folder that is named volumes under /home/ibmsys1, and keep all ADCD volumes in the non-root user directory that you downloaded at step 2 of Checklist.
- Make sure that all volumes are owned by the non-root user ID. You can use the following command
to change the owner and group.
chown ibmsys1 * chgrp zpdt *
Note: Make sure that the folder that contains *.gz and .ZPD volumes are also owned by the non-root user ID. - Make sure that all volumes are executable. Otherwise, enter the following
command:
chmod 755 *
Note: Ensure the downloadDirector was empty, or you changed the directory set to download the files to a ZD&T specific directory. Otherwise, use the commandchmod 755 A4*.gz
. - Decompress all .gz volumes by using the Linux®
command.
gunzip *.gz
- Decrypt .ZPD volumes by using the command from
/usr/z1090/bin:
./Z1091_ADCD_install <path of volume>/A4RES1.ZPD <output path of volume>/A4RES1
For example,
../Z1091_ADCD_install/home/ibmsys1/volumes/A4RES1.ZPD/home/ibmsys1/volumes/A4RES1
