Open System Services Installation Guide (H06.16+, J06.05+)

1 OSS EasySetup Quickstart
OSS EasySetup includes the OSSSETUP utility, which installs a minimal OSS subsystem on a system
that does not have an OSS subsystem. (A minimal OSS subsystem does not include OSS
subcomponents such as HP NonStop SQL/MX or the HP NonStop TUXEDO product.)
You must not use the OSSSETUP utility when an OSS configuration already exists on your node.
For example, you cannot use OSSSETUP when:
• Your system was preconfigured by HP, but OSSREMOV has not been run.
• OSSSETUP has previously been run, but OSSREMOV has not been run.
• You have manually configured your OSS environment.
HP recommends that you use the “Procedure to Install and Configure a Minimal OSS Subsystem”
(page 18) to install the OSS subsystem. If you want more than a minimal OSS subsystem, you can
update the minimal OSS subsystem after you have installed it.
To manually install a new OSS subsystem or to update an existing OSS subsystem, see the Open
System Services Management and Operations Guide.
The OSS EasySetup product allows you, with limited knowledge of either the UNIX or NonStop
operating system, to quickly install a minimal OSS subsystem in either of two modes:
• Noninteractive (DEFAULTS) mode, which gives your OSS subsystem the default settings
• Interactive mode, which gives you more control over installation parameters

OSS EasySetup Components
The OSS EasySetup product consists of the utilities described in Table 1 (page 13) and the files
described in Table 2 (page 14).
The OSS EasySetup utilities are on the installation subvolume ZOSSINS. You must run the utilities
from ZOSSINS. You cannot run the utilities from a remote system.
