Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Anyone using xCAT for z/VM can benefit       *
  *                 from the new exit routines for the XCAT      *
  *                 and ZHCP virtual machines.                   *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF                                    *
  ****************************************************************
  Provide user exit routines which can be called during the
  initialization of the XCAT and ZHCP service machines. The
  intent of the user exits primarily is a way to provide a
  clean up mechanism for the XCAT and ZHCP servers.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• This change provides two new files, XCATEXIT SAMPLE and
  ZHCPEXIT SAMPLE. These two sample files reside on the MAINT
  400 minidisk and provide sample clean up commands for the XCAT
  and ZHCP service machines. To activate the exits, copy them
  from a filetype of SAMPLE to a filetype of PL. Make changes to
  the PL files which satisfy your requirements for clean up. If
  the initialization steps for XCAT or ZHCP find the PL filetype
  on the MAINT 400 minidisk, the exits are run at the beginning
  of the initialization process in the XCAT and ZHCP virtual
  machines.
