Configure SMF (Optional)
The inetd process should be run immediately after loading the OSS product files into
the OSS environment. The inetd process listens for connections on certain Internet
sockets. When a connection is found on one of its sockets, inetd determines what
service the socket corresponds to and invokes a program to service the request.
See the inetd(8) reference page in the Open System Services Shell and Utilities
Reference Manual for more information. For installation instructions, see
T9660G07^AAG, or later, softdoc.
OSS Unautomated Configuration and Startup
Unautomated configuration and startup is described in Appendix B in the Open System
Services Management and Operations Guide.
OSS EasySetup (T0585)
The OSS EasySetup product (T0585) is available for automated setup, as described in
the Open System Services Installation Guide. OSS EasySetup is a series of TACL
scripts that assist a site when configuring and installing a minimal OSS subsystem for
the first time or when starting, stopping, or removing an OSS subsystem. For setup
and fallback purposes, OSS EasySetup provides:
•
A journal file of all installation and configuration actions
•
A file that records the directory structure of the initial OSS file installation
•
A configuration file to partially automate restarting the OSS subsystem. This file
can be edited as needed when the configuration changes.
OSS EasySetup requires the process $NULL and the installation of SPI template files.
The product NULL (T6025) is included on each SUT.
Configure SMF (Optional)
If you plan to configure SMF, an optional product, note:
•
Migration of data from direct volumes to SMF logical volumes is documented in the
Storage Management Foundation User's Guide.
•
Performance-critical applications that optimize the physical location of their data
might need to specify the PHYSVOL option when creating data files, instead of
relying on the SMF file-placement algorithm.
•
NonStop SQL/MP 3.x must be up and running before you start SMF.
Caution. To maintain data integrity, do not place:
•
SWAP files on a virtual disk process (VDP)
•
TMF audit data on a VDP.
•
DSM/SCM files on a VDP.
