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

For information about default configuration, see Appendix A (page 44).
• Interactive Mode, which:
Asks you questions◦
◦ Gives you more control over installation parameters
◦ Might require more than one storage resource
◦ Allows the ZOSSUTL subvolume to be on any volume, which you can specify using the
EASYSETUP^UTILVOL param (you confirm your choice in the interactive session). The
default value for this param is $SYSTEM.
◦ Allows you to use the EASYSETUP^EMSVOL param to specify a location other than
$SYSTEM for the SPI definition files. The default value for this param is $SYSTEM, but
you are not required to have installed SPI definition files. For more information about this
param and about enabling EMS event logging, see Table 3 (page 15).
◦ Allows you to use the EASYSETUP^STARTUP param to specify if OSSSETUP configures
the $NULL, $ZSMP, or both the $NULL and $ZSMP processes as generic processes.
◦ Beginning with the J06.16 and H06.27 RVUs, allows you to use the
EASYSETUP^TCPIP^SUBVOL param to specify a subvolume other than the default
$SYSTEM.ZTCPIP to create symbolic links to TCP/IP configuration files. For more details
about this param and setting up symbolic links, see “Overview” (page 20).
For more information, see “Running in Interactive Mode” (page 25).
Status and Error Messages
The status messages that OSSSETUP displays are described in Appendix B (page 46).
The error messages that OSSSETUP displays are described in If OSSSETUP displays error messages,
see Appendix C (page 49)..
Command to Run OSSSETUP
The syntax of the OSSSETUP command is:
[RUN] OSSSETUP [ DEFAULTS | ? | HELP ]
DEFAULTS
causes OSSSETUP to run in DEFAULTS (noninteractive) mode. If this parameter is not present,
OSSSETUP runs in interactive mode.
? , HELP
displays the syntax of the OSSSETUP command.
If OSSSETUP displays error messages, see Appendix C (page 49).
Running in DEFAULTS (Noninteractive) Mode
To run OSSSETUP in DEFAULTS (noninteractive) mode:
1. Ensure that the $OSS disk volume exists and is usable.
2. If you want to specify a volume other than $SYSTEM for the ZOSSUTL subvolume, enter this
command at a TACL prompt:
PARAM EASYSETUP^UTILVOL $vol-name
where vol-name is the name of the volume on which the OSS installation subvolume resides.
For more information about this param, see Table 3 (page 15).
