OSS (G06.12 through G06.26)
If the OSS product is released with the A7CINFO, do not use PINSTALL/COPYOSS to
install those pax (archive) files. These files are installed and maintained by
DSM/SCM.
The Receive Software activity for the OSS products with A7CINFO files in their DSVs
can only be performed when the installation of the new T6031D46 PVU is complete on
the Host. You need a T6031D46 PVU of DSM/SCM to process the A7CINFO files
present in the DSVs of the OSS products.
When using DSM/SCM to receive the SUT and perform a Build/Apply, you must
perform these tasks:
1. When performing a DSM/SCM Receive Software activity on the Host, select the
Receive all files option.
2. In the Planner Interface for the Target system, select the Manage OSS Files
option.
3. Check that the OSS Root Name Server $ZPNS is running on the Target. The
volume where the SYSnn is being placed must be up as $SYSTEM to install OSS
files.
4. After you run ZPHIRNM, run the merge_whatis command if requested by
ZPHIRNM. If you have OSS configured to run the OSS merge_whatis utility
automatically, you can ignore running merge_whatis.
Unautomated configuration and OSS startup is described in Appendix B in the Open
System Services Management and Operations Guide.
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. Therefore, you must retrieve the FALLBACK macro
from the SUT before falling back or use the FUP DUP command to copy it to a
subvolume for use during fallback.
See the DSM/SCM User’s Guide and online help for more information and DSM/SCM
(T6031D46^ABN) and the G06.26 RVU on page 1-5.
OSS EasySetup (T0585) (G06.16 Through 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.
The product NULL (T6025) is still included on each SUT. Starting with G06.23 and later
RVUs, 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 for OSS.
