Cold Start the Pathway Configuration
1. Verify your current configuration against the cold start configuration in PATHHOST (or
PATHTARG) to check that the current configuration reflects all changes you have made.
2. Run the PATHCOLD macro from the ZDSMSCM subvolume to cold start the Pathway
configuration.
Start DSM/SCM
1. From the ZDSMSCM subvolume, start DSM/SCM:
> RUN STARTSCM
Because the $ZHOME reliable home-term process is not an interactive process and is always
paused, no action is necessary.
2. Press Enter. STARTSCM automatically runs the IP6031 TACL macro. This step can take several
minutes.
Run merge_whatis
After coldloading the system, run the OSS merge_whatis command. (ZPHIRNM notifies you if
you need to run it.) (The merge_whatis command is a shell script in /bin that creates and
updates the whatis database used by the OSS shell man, apropos, and whatis commands.)
You might have a shell script that runs either one or both of the following, depending on your OSS
environment:
/bin/merge_whatis
NOTE: You can run the Pcleanup utility on any file that is managed and audited by DSM/SCM
before running the merge_whatis command. However, the OSS utility, Pcleanup cleans up OSS
files, but not DSM/SCM files, in the OSS file system. Only the DSM/SCM CLEANOSS macro
cleans up DSM/SCM files in the OSS file system. The CLEANOSS macro is run only if you fall
back and then migrate again to a new PVU. During a Build/Apply, DSM/SCM automatically
prompts you to run the CLEANOSS macro.
1. Log on to OSS as the super ID (255,255):
Current volume is $SYSTEM.STARTUP
$SYSTEM STARTUP 1> osh
2. Change directories by using the cd command. For example:
/G/SYSTEM/STARTUP: cd /usr/share/man
3. Run the merge_whatis command:
/usr/share/man: merge_whatis
4. Enter the list (ls) command:
/usr/share/man: ls
cat1 cat4 cat7 whatis.frag
cat2 cat5 cat8 whatis_old
cat3 cat6 whatis
