OSS Unautomated Configuration and Startup
•
For the OSS environment, certain configuration files require symbolic links from the
OSS file system. For more information, see the OSS Management and Operations
Guide.
•
Run the inetd process 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.
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.
Starting with G06.23, OSS EasySetup no longer requires the process $NULL and the
installation of SPI template files.
Minimum Memory Requirements
Integrity NonStop NS-series servers provide a 4 GB logical processor. For more
information on logical processors available, see the NonStop NS-Series Planning
Guide.
