Create a New Software Revision

When you create a new software revision, NonStop Software Essentials selects the products in the

SUT that are licensed for your site and replaces any previous versions of the products.

The following steps assume that you are creating a new software revision that manages OSS files.

If you are not, go to step 5 after you have loaded the Configuration Revisions page in NonStop

Software Essentials. These instructions also assume that you have installed OSS. To configure OSS

for the first time, see the Open System Services Installation Guide. For details on modifying a

DSM/SCM target, see the NonStop Software Essentials User’s Guide.

1. Check that the OSS Root Name Server $ZPNS is running on the Target. The volume where

the SYSnn is being placed must be activated as $SYSTEM to install OSS files. To determine

the server process, issue an SCF STATUS SERVER command or an SCF LISTDEV command.

An example of the STATUS SERVER command is:

$ADBIT TESTBIT 11> SCF STATUS SERVER $ZPMON.*

SCF - T9082H01 - (01MAY05) (15MAR05) - 07/06/2005 08:58:59 System \ATLAS

OSS Status SERVER \ATLAS.$ZPMON.*
