where:

• $vol specifies the default current system load volume, usually $SYSTEM.

• SYSnn specifies the subvolume to which you just applied software. The SYSnn subvolume

must match the activation SYSnn that you specified earlier during the Build/Apply phase.

2. When asked if you want to use a log file with the session, enter Y.

3. When prompted, enter a file name for the log file:

6> run zphirnm $system.sys00

DSM/SCM Utility - ZPHIRNM - T6031H01 - (11NOV2004)

Do you want to use a log file with this session? (Y/N): y

You may use any file for logging. If you request to use a disk

file that doesn't exist, it will be created as an edit file.

Please enter a filename: elist00

Log file is open, Zphirnm will now begin processing.

ZPHIRNM begins processing and provides status of its progress.

4. If necessary, you can compare the creation dates of the whatis file to the whatis_old file

to see if changes occurred:

a. Run the more command against the whatis file:

more /usr/share/man/whatis

b. After reviewing the displayed file, exit by entering the letter q at the percentage (%)

prompt.

c. Repeat Steps a. and b. for the whatis_old file.

Verify That ZPHIRNM Ran Successfully

1. Review the log file.

2. If ZPHIRNM did not run successfully, correct whatever problems occurred and run it again.

Two types of error and warning messages are issued during the renaming process:

• If a fatal error occurs, ZPHIRNM immediately issues an error message and stops.

• If a nonfatal error occurs, ZPHIRNM issues an error message and attempts to restore the

subvolume it is currently processing to its original state. A nonfatal error is one that affects

processing only for a single subvolume.

◦ If the subvolume is successfully restored, ZPHIRNM continues with the next subvolume.

◦ If the subvolume cannot be restored, ZPHIRNM issues an additional error message

and continues with the next subvolume.

◦ If the subvolume was successfully processed, you can ignore warning messages.

See the NonStop Software Essentials User's Guide or the DSM/SCM User's Guide

for troubleshooting procedures and the DSM/SCM Messages Manual for a complete

list of ZPHIRNM messages.
