Any ideas what I'm doing incorrectly here? I tried creating a folder called "tapes" in the location specified, but that had no effect. I commented the LCS line but that had no effect: # 0440.2 LCS -n /dev/net/tun 192.168.200.2

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

As this is primarily an IBM Mainframe forum, i suspect you would get more useful replies from the Hercules group:

http://www.hercules-390.org/hercsupp.html

HHCCF091S Invalid AUTOMOUNT directory: "/tapes": No such file or directory

what does the message suggest ??

did You install Matthias Nissler tun tap kext extensions ??

enrico-sorichetti wrote:did You install Matthias Nissler tun tap kext extensions ??

Yes - I installed tun tap, but didn't perform any additional configuration (just installed with defaults). I'm not sure why I get the tapes message even after I manually create the tapes folder in OS X. I'm using this command to launch "sudo hercules -f hercules.cnf" where my hercules.cnf file is located here: /Users/nigeldefreitas/Projects/Hercules - Mainframe Emulator/conf/

Thanks for your time - I'll also try the other Hercules forum.

I noticed in Your conf an ... AUTOMOUNT +/tapes that' s the culprit
look at the bolded sentence

from the hercules docs

AUTOMOUNT [±]directory
specifies the host system directory where the guest is allowed or not allowed to automatically load virtual tape volumes from. Prefix allowable directories with a '+' plus sign and unallowable directories with a '-' minus sign. The default prefix if neither is specified is the '+' plus sign (i.e. an allowable directory).

Caution: Enabling this feature may have security consequences depending on which allowable host system directories you specify as well as how your guest operating system enforces authorized use of whatever automount functionality it happens to utilize.

All host system virtual tape volumes to be "automounted" by the guest must reside within one of the specified allowable host system directories or any of its subdirectories while not also being within any of the specified unallowable directories or any of their subdirectories, in order for the guest-invoked automount to be accepted.

Note: specifying a disallowed automount directory does not preclude the Hercules operator from manually mounting any file s/he wishes via the devinit panel command -- even one in a currently defined "disallowed" automount directory. The AUTOMOUNT statement only controls guest-invoked automatic tape mounts and not manual tape mounts performed by the Hercules operator.

All directories must be specified on separate statements, but as many statements as needed may be specified in order to describe the desired allowable/unallowable directories layout. For convenience, an automount panel command is also provided to dynamically add/remove new/existing allowable/unallowable automount directories at any time.

At least one allowable directory should be defined, but defaults to the current directory if one is not specifically defined (i.e. if only unallowable directories are specified, the current directory then becomes the only defined allowable automount directory by default).

All specified directories are always resolved to fully-qualified absolute directory paths before being saved.

Thanks - that worked! I just commented that line. I have a command prompt now. Does this come with TSO, or is that a licensed product I'd need to install?

if You are following the rules
the operating system You are trying to IPL will have TSO, but not ISPF
