J06.16 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

For those products that are not managed by DSM/SCM, you must install them using COPYOSS
or PINSTALL. See the appropriate product’s softdoc and installation instructions.
Using OSS Unautomated Configuration and Startup
Unautomated configuration and startup is described in Appendix B in the Open System Services
Management and Operations Guide.
Using OSS EasySetup (T0585)
The OSS EasySetup product (T0585) is available for automated setup, as described in the Open
System Services Installation Guide. OSS EasySetup is a series of TACL scripts that assist a site
when configuring and installing a minimal OSS subsystem for the first time or when starting,
stopping, or removing an OSS subsystem.
Configure SMF (Optional)
If you plan to configure SMF, an optional product, note:
• Migration of data from direct volumes to SMF logical volumes is documented in the Storage
Management Foundation User's Guide.
• Performance-critical applications that optimize the physical location of their data might need
to specify the PHYSVOL option when creating data files, instead of relying on the SMF
file-placement algorithm.
• NonStop SQL/MP must be up and running before you start SMF.
CAUTION: To maintain data integrity, do not place these items on a virtual disk process
(VDP):
◦ SWAP files
◦ TMF audit data
◦ DSM/SCM files
To ensure system configuration integrity, always:
1. Save the system configuration after SMF configuration changes are made.
2. Reload the system from the current system configuration file or the latest version with SMF
changes.
See the softdoc T8472ACK or later for SMF configuration and interoperability considerations.
Configure the Remote Database Facility
The AUDITTRAILBUFFER parameter is a modifier to DP2, which improves the performance of RDF.
Ensure that an appropriate value is specified for the AUDITTRAILBUFFER modifier for the master
audit-trail disk process. The AUDITTRAILBUFFER parameter allows you to specify how many
megabytes of buffer space to allocate for the audit-trail buffers.
See the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem for information on configuring the buffer
size and check the DP2 softdoc for more information for J06.10 and later RVUs.
See the Release Version Update Compendium for your J-series RVU for new feature information.
Configure the WAN Manager
If you have a SWAN or SWAN 2 concentrator:
