H06.25 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

Installing OSS Products Not Managed by DSM/SCM
Use COPYOSS or PINSTALL or both to install products that are not managed by DSM/SCM.
• If any OSS files are managed by DSM/SCM, use PINSTALL on the remaining pax archives.
See the OSS Management and Operations Guide for a description of PINSTALL use or the
pinstall(1) reference page in the OSS Shell and Utilities Reference Manual.
• If no OSS files are managed by DSM/SCM, use COPYOSS for all of the OSS pax archives
in the ZOSSUTL subvolume. See the OSS Management and Operations Guide for a description
of COPYOSS use or the copyoss(8) reference page in the OSS Shell and Utilities Reference
Manual. Then use PINSTALL to install any pax archives in other subvolumes. See the OSS
Management and Operations Guide for a description of PINSTALL use, or the pinstall(1)
reference page in the OSS Shell and Utilities Reference Manual.
See also the appropriate product’s softdoc for any pre- or post-installation instructions.
OSS General Alerts and Considerations
Also note these general OSS alerts and considerations:
• Disk volumes that are accessed by the OSS environment, including the $SYSTEM volume
where the OSS Monitor’s configuration files are kept, must not be configured for administration
by the HP NonStop Storage Management Foundation (SMF).
• 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.
