DMSACP112S A(191) device error
You should see an error message ending in “device error”. When CMS is started, it tries
to access the user’s 191 minidisk as file mode A. The 191 minidisk has been defined to this
user ID, however, it has never been formatted as a CMS file system.
► To format this disk for CMS use the FORMAT command. It requires a parameter specifying
the file mode to access the disk as, mode A in the following example:
==> format 191 a
DMSFOR603R FORMAT will erase all files on disk A(191). Do you wish to continue?
Enter 1 (YES) or 0 (NO).
1
DMSFOR605R Enter disk label:
lxm191
DMSFOR733I Formatting disk A
DMSFOR732I 20 cylinders formatted on A(191)
► Format the larger 192 disk as the D minidisk which should take a minute or two:
==> format 192 d
DMSFOR603R FORMAT will erase all files on disk D(192). Do you wish to continue?
Enter 1 (YES) or 0 (NO).
1
DMSFOR605R Enter disk label:
lxm192
DMSFOR733I Formatting disk D
DMSFOR732I 300 cylinders formatted on D(192)
► You have now formatted the two minidisks and accessed them as file modes A and D. You
can confirm this using the QUERY DISK command:
==> q disk

4.7.3 Copying a PROFILE XEDIT
Copy the PROFILE XEDIT from the MAINT 191 disk so XEDIT sessions will have a common
interface among user IDs. Perform the following steps:
► Use the VMLINK command to both link to the disk read-only and to access it as the highest
available file mode. The default read password is read:
==> vmlink maint 191
ENTER READ PASSWORD:
==> read
