K-Series to S-Series Differences
Initial Configuration of an HP NonStop
S-Series Server
Map: K-Series to S-Series Differences.
For G-series RVUs, many configuration tasks are completed by HP before the
NonStop S-series server arrives at your site. HP provides you with the initial system
configuration required to load the NonStop Kernel operating system, including:
The system configuration database, $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.CONFIG, which
contains configuration information received from the SCF subsystems about the
placement and characteristics of all system components. The
SYSnn.OSCONFIG file, which is built by SYSGENR for pre-NonStop S-series
servers, still exists but contains only a few records.
●
The primary Event Management Service (EMS) collector ($0), the central
collection point for event messages, which record significant occurrences in the
subsystem environment.
●
Other processes that support the NonStop S-series server.●
The contents of the $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.CONFIG file are described in the NonStop
S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide. This initial CONFIG file is also saved on
your system as the ZSYSCONF.CONF0000 file, which was built from the SCF0000 file.
For sample displays from the CONF0000 file, see the SCF Reference Manual for
G-Series RVUs (for G06.16 and earlier, see the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series
Releases).
For the configuration tasks:
In G06.21 and later, see the NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation and
Fastpath Guide.

In G06.20, see the Nonstop S-Series Hardware Installation Guide.●
In G06.19 and earlier, see the NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration
Guide.

The standard software configuration of a NonStop S-series server, as shipped by HP,
consists of:
Disk Volumes and Subvolumes
$SYSTEM Volume - contains files unique to the system, communications
files, the operating system, SCF files, startup files, software product
configuration files, and configuration files.
❍
$DSMSCM Volume - contains Pathway control and log files, the NonStop
SQL catalog, CIIN and CONFTEXT files, and DSM/SCM host and target
