OSS (G06.12 through G06.26)
For fallback issues, see the OSM Migration Guide. The guide covers OSM and TSM
coexistence and fallback issues, such as:
•
Comparison of OSM to TSM
•
OSM hardware and software requirements
•
Migrating an existing TSM system list to a new console for OSM use
•
coexistence issues for using both OSM and TSM
•
Fallback instructions for changing configuration from OSM back to TSM
OSS (G06.12 through G06.26)
As of G06.12, the format of the records in the OSS configuration databases has
changed. A special SPR, T8622AAH, ensures backward compatibility if you need to fall
back to an RVU prior to G06.12.
These are additional considerations for OSS upgrade and configuration:
•
Disk volumes that are accessed by the OSS environment, including the $SYSTEM
volume where the OSS Monitor’s configuration files are kept, must not be
configured for administration by the HP NonStop Storage Management Foundation
(SMF).
•
Beginning with the G06.18 RVU, OSSMON is not dependent on $ZSMP to be
started. (In earlier G-series and D-series RVUs, when you configured OSSMON to
start automatically during the system load process, you had to configure the
Safeguard security manager process $ZSMP to start automatically before
OSSMON was started.)
•
Starting with G06.26, Safeguard volume protection records are no longer required
for creation of OSS files.

Beginning with the G06.18 RVU, all OSS SUT-based products with pax files must
have the A7CINFO file in their DSVs to be installed by DSM/SCM. Before installing
the SUT:
°
Check the Interactive Upgrade Guide for DSM/SCM support and other new
features and possible migration issues.
°
Check the appropriate softdoc for the OSS product.
°
Check that all OSS file sets used by DSM/SCM for OSS file installation are
mounted and started.
