NICDEF Question- a little courious is all

[Huegel, Thomas]

I used a NICDEF directory statement very similiar to the example below from
the CP Planning and Admin guide. The VSWITCH is defined in the SYSTEM CONFIG
file I do not have a MODIFY VSWITCH GRANT statement for this user. When the
user logs on I get an error saying he is not authorized to couple to the
VSWITCH. I know it is easy enough to fix that with the SET VSWITCH command,
but I was under the impression that this was not necessary if the NICDEF was
used in the directory (even without a MODIFY VSWITCH GRANT), as opposed to a
DEFINE VSWITCH command.

Did I miss something or are the old brain cells in need of a PTF or two?



Define a simulated QDIO adapter using I/O devices 0500-0507 (eight devices)
which will be coupled to the SYSTEM-owned INEWS LAN during LOGON processing:




NICDEF 500 TYPE QDIO DEV 8 LAN SYSTEM INEWS

VSWITCHes are always protected, even with a NICDEF directory card.

You can do the GRANT with either MODIFY VSWITCH in SYSTEM CONFIG or with
SET VSWITCH GRANT in AUTOLOG1's PROFILE EXEC beofre the guests are
XAUTOLOGGED.

AUTOLOG1's PROFILE EXEC or an exec run from AUTOLOG1's PROFILE EXEC.
