1. Make sure that the mount-point directory exists; if it does not, create it and give it universal
access permission. HP recommends against the use of symbolic links as mount-point names
or within mount-point names; such use can cause problems when filesets are restarted.
Use either the OSS shell directly or the TACL OSH command to create the mount-point directory,
as shown in the following examples:
• To create the directory /home/henrysp from within the OSS environment, enter the
following OSS shell commands:
/bin/mkdir /home/henrysp
/bin/chmod 0777 /home/henrysp
• To create the directory /home/henrysp from within the Guardian environment, enter
the following commands at a TACL prompt:
OSH -p /bin/mkdir /home/henrysp
OSH -p /bin/chmod 0777 /home/henrysp
Note that the OSS shell chmod command gives read, write, and search (execute)
permission to all users of OSS files within the mount-point directory. The UNIX sticky bit
can also be set so that only the super ID can delete files from the fileset; to set the sticky
bit, specify chmod 1777 instead of chmod 0777.
2. Create a storage-pool file with the name specified in the new ZOSSFSET entry. This action is
described in “Creating a Storage Pool” (page 145).
