DSM/SCM (T6031D46) Fallback
The FALLBACK macro is in the ZDSMSCM directory. Run the FALLBACK macro if
DSM/SCM has been reverted back to a pre-T6031D46 PVU or to a pre-
T6031D46^ABK SPR. The FALLBACK macro will not be available in the ZDSMSCM
subvolume when you fall back. Thus, you must retrieve the FALLBACK macro from the
SUT prior to falling back or use the FUP DUP command to copy it to a subvolume for
use during fallback.
If you perform a backout to a pre-D46 version after having installed ABK or later, the
FALLBACK macro removes OSS management information and the Safeguard alias
and Guardian user security profile information.
If you perform a backout to a pre-ABK SPR after having installed ABK or later,
FALLBACK only removes the Safeguard alias and Guardian user security profile
information. OSS management information is retained.
See the DSM/SCM User’s Guide and online help for more information.
OSS EasySetup (T0585) (G06.16, G06.23)
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. OSS
EasySetup requires the process $NULL and the installation of SPI template files.
The product NULL (T6025) is included on each SUT even though for G06.23 and later,
with new PARAMs introduced, $NULL and $ZSMP are no longer required to bring up
the OSS Monitor. You no longer are forced to install them.
Starting in G06.23, EasySetup allows use of ZSPI definition files installed other than in
the default location and allows use of a non-default ISV disk for OSS.
NonStop SQL/MP
In general, when migrating to a new version of NonStop SQL/MP software, you should
be reasonably sure you do not want to revert to the previous version of the software
before you perform any of the following actions:
•
Create a NonStop SQL/MP catalog whose version is newer than the previous
version of the NonStop SQL/MP software. This situation occurs automatically when
you create a catalog on a node running the new version of the software.
•
Create a NonStop SQL/MP table using new features that cause the version of the
table to be newer than the previous version of NonStop SQL/MP software.
•
Compile a program using the new version of the NonStop SQL/MP compiler.
