  • 1.  ZOAU pax installation

    Posted 06/26/24 08:07 AM

    I just downloaded the pax version of ZOAU  1.3 so that I could try it out before (or instead of) installing using SMP/E.

    The section "Install via pax" section of the documentaion states that I should run command "pax -ppx -rf zoau-<VERSION>.pax.Z".  I did that but all it did was unpack a few filesincluding a tar file.  There are no further instructions.  WHat should I do and where is it documented ?.

    I just tried using the instructions (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zoau/1.3.x?topic=installing-zoau) and it works for me thus 

    I first created a 200 cylinder zfs, mounted to a directory under my home that I named "zoau", uploaded from my pc the downloaded pax.Z file and ran the pax command as you can see.

    hope this helps

    Thanks Lionel. I was being silly - I had unpaxed into a directory which already had a lot of junk, saw a few files with names beginning 'zoau', including a tar.gz file and wondered where the rest of the files were. I did not see the bin and docs etc directories because of the junk and imagined that the tar.gz file may be an SMP/E package to be installed or had to be expanded in some way.

    No worries Keith - many times we are multi-tasking and miss something like this.

    btw. we have a zoau peer support channel on the System Z Enthusiast discord that you might find helpful - along with a lot of other channels https://discord.com/channels/880322471608344597/1159222391612919921
