Managing Persistence for the named Process

The NonStop Kernel Persistence Manager ($ZZKRN) provides support for making HP

NonStop Open System Services (OSS) processes persistent, starting with the G06.24

RVU. This feature of $ZZKRN can be used in making DNS 9.2.3 persistent.

Configuring the named Process as a Persistent Process

Use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) to configure the Name Server (named

process) to $ZZKRN. Perform this procedure in the Guardian environment.

1. Add named to the system configuration database:

For information about the attributes shown in this command example, see the SCF

Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem in NTL.

2. Start the $ZZKRN.#named process:

->add process $zzkrn.#named, name $osh, autorestart 10, &

cpu firstof (1,0), startmode manual, userid super.super, &

program $system.system.osh, asocproc $dns, &

hometerm $ztn0.#ptypt2q, startupmsg &

“-ls -name /g/dns -p /usr/bin/named -f”

->start process $zzkrn.#named
