4. Activate the new operating system image.
During the Build/Apply phase, DSM/SCM places product files in their TSVs with temporary
(fabricated) file names so that the new files do not conflict with the file names of currently
running programs. You run the ZPHIRNM program on the target system to:
• Rename the files that currently have actual file names to fabricated names. These files
become obsolete when the new files are renamed.
• Rename the new files, which have fabricated names, to their actual names.
After ZPHIRNM has completed renaming all OSS and Guardian files, it will run ZMODGP
if it exists in the SYSnn being activated and if:
◦ The configuration being activated contains a ZCNFDEFS TSV
◦ One or more of the ZcccGP files in the ZCNFDEFS TSV are new or changed (as
compared to the last configuration activated).
If no ZcccGP files change, ZMODGP is not run.
ZMODGP is a TACL script that makes changes to the generic-process definitions in
the system configuration database. When you use the ZMODGP script, you do not
need to hard code new generic process definitions directly into the $ZCDB process
(T6586, Configuration Services).
Check or Alter the CONFTEXT File Before Installing This RVU SUT
NOTE: Tape_Label_Processing is controlled by the Storage Subsystem ($ZZSTO) ALTER SUBSYS
command. The CONFTEXT file directive TAPE_LABEL_PROCESSING gets overridden by the Storage
Subsystem settings. See the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem for more information
about the ALTER SUBSYS command.
The processor type (SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE) is specified in the CONFTEXT file. It currently
has only one value:
SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPESystem
NSE-MNB50000c, NB50000c-cg, NB54000c,
NB54000c-cg, NS2200 series, and NS2000 series
Check the CONFTEXT file to ensure that the following entries are present. They are needed for the
implicit DLLs:
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_INIT_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^INIT^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_CORE_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^CORE^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_FS_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^FS^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_MCP_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^MCP^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_ETC_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^ETC^FILES;
This example shows a CONFTEXT file:
$TEMP CONFIGXX 2> type conftext
ALLPROCESSORS:
SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE NSE-M;
SYSTEM_VOLUME_SUBVOL $SYSTEM.SYS00;
SYSTEM_LIBRARY_CODE_FILES TANDEM^LIBRARY^CODE^FILES;
SYSTEM_PROCESS_CODE_FILES TANDEM^PROCESS^CODE^FILES;
SYSTEM_PROCESS_LIBRARY_FILES TANDEM^PROCESS^LIBRARY^FILES;
STANDARD_MICROCODE TANDEM^STANDARD^MICROCODE;
