Note that this XEDIT macro will only work on a vanilla USER DIRECT file because it searches <strong>for</strong><br />

the original user IDs next to passwords. If you want to change your password again, it should<br />

be much easier as you can use the XEDIT CHANGE subcommand. For example to change all<br />

passwords from lnx4vm to vm4lnx, invoke the following commands:<br />

==> x user direct c<br />

Congratulations, your z/<strong>VM</strong> system is now customized and ready <strong>for</strong> Linux. It is<br />

recommended that you back up your system to tape.<br />

4.<strong>10</strong> Backing up your z/<strong>VM</strong> system to tape<br />

Your system is now customized with a running TCP/IP stack, a highly available<br />

VSWITCH, a startup and shutdown process and with a user ID <strong>for</strong> shared files. You have<br />

changed the passwords. This would be a good time to back up the system to tape.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are five system volumes that should be backed up 6<strong>10</strong>RES, 6<strong>10</strong>SPL, 6<strong>10</strong>PAG, 6<strong>10</strong>W01 and<br />

6<strong>10</strong>W02 (or just the first three if you are using 3390-9s). If you changed the labels of the last<br />

four at install time, then use those labels. You also have configured a sixth volume that is<br />

important to Linux: that is the first 320 cylinders of the volume with LNXMAINT on it.<br />

To backup these volumes to tape, refer to chapter 8. Load the System Image, Step 11.<br />

Store a Backup Copy of the z/<strong>VM</strong> System on Tape in the manual <strong>The</strong> z/<strong>VM</strong> Guide <strong>for</strong><br />

Automated Installation and Service, GC204-6099.<br />

4.11 Relabeling system volumes<br />

In previous books, the z/<strong>VM</strong> installation was described using “standard labels” on the<br />

CP-owned volumes (e.g. 6<strong>10</strong>RES, 6<strong>10</strong>SPL, 6<strong>10</strong>PAG, 6<strong>10</strong>W01 and 6<strong>10</strong>W02). In this book, changing<br />

the last four labels to include the real device address in the last four characters of each label<br />

is recommended (the label of the “res pack”, e.g. 6<strong>10</strong>RES cannot be modified at install time).<br />

This alleviates the possibility that another vanilla z/<strong>VM</strong> system with the same labels is<br />

installed onto volumes accessible by your z/<strong>VM</strong> system. If that happens, it is likely that one of<br />

the systems will not IPL correctly.<br />

To understand this possibility, refer to Figure 4-16 on page 65. <strong>The</strong> z/<strong>VM</strong> system with the<br />

lower device addresses starting at E340 should IPL fine (though you may see a warning at<br />

system startup time about duplicate volume labels). However, if the z/<strong>VM</strong> system starting at<br />

device address F000 is IPLed, the 540RES volume will be used, but the remaining volumes in<br />

the system are searched <strong>for</strong> by volume label, not by device address. Because z/<strong>VM</strong> system<br />

1’s addresses are lower than z/<strong>VM</strong> system 2’s, system 2 will be using system 1’s volumes.<br />

This is not good <strong>for</strong> either system!<br />
