OSM Configuration and Fallback

Note that if you are installing and using OSM, HP recommends that the NSK CRE/RTL

(T1269) product be installed on the system, as opposed to the Native CRE/RTL

(T8431), which is the default. For migration considerations for T1269, see S02001. For

more information on configuring OSM, see S03133B.

For OSM and TSM coexistence and fallback issues, see the OSM Migration Guide.

OSS

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 does not require $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

to create 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 2 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.

Caution. You cannot simultaneously use both heap managers (T8431 and T1269) on the

same system.
