Activation Instructions for \BITDRP BITDRP
These are general instructions that were determined from configuration
attributes. Refer to the release documentation for detailed information
on migrating to this software configuration.
1. Stop all applications. Keep OSS running.
2. RUN ZDSMSCM.ZPHIRNM SYSnn
(Note: replace nn with correct number)
3. Check for $0 EMS messages.
Correct any errors indicated in the $0 EMS messages.
Do not proceed until this step has been successfully completed.
4. Coldload is required.
5. Run merge_whatis if ZPHIRNM indicates it is needed.
6. Update FIRMWARE.
Run OSM (or TSM) to check firmware and perform firmware updates.
T2805 MAINTENANCE ENTITY includes firmware changes.
T2805 MAINTENANCE ENTITY includes firmware changes.
T0287 HALTED STATE SVCS includes firmware changes.
T0630 FCSA F/W includes firmware changes.
T0287 HALTED STATE SVCS includes firmware changes.
T0287 HALTED STATE SVCS includes firmware changes.
7. Restart all applications.
7. Press SF16 to exit the Target Interface.
In the Activation instructions, you might see information regarding the merge_whatis OSS
command:
Run merge_whatis if zphirnm indicates it is needed.
When you finally run ZPHIRNM, the following lines are written to the log:
Note: merge_whatis needs to be run to update the man pages. Files in a whatis.frag directory have changed.
The merge_whatis is a shell script in /bin. It creates and updates the whatis database used
by the OSS shell man, apropos, and whatis commands. You must run the merge_whatis
command once against each directory that contains the man page files to be used.
