OSS
OSS and DSM/SCM (T6031D46 and T6031G02 PVUs)
Starting 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. Check the Interactive
Upgrade Guide 2 or the softdoc corresponding to the OSS products to ensure that the
A7CINFO file is present.
If the OSS product is released without the A7CINFO file, you can still install the product
by using PINSTALL or COPYOSS.
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 be performed only when the installation of a T6031D46 PVU is complete on the
Host. You need a T6031D46 or G02 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. If you are on a pre-D46 ABE PVU, 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 or T6031G02) Fallback
The FALLBACK macro is in the ZDSMSCM directory. Run the FALLBACK macro if
DSM/SCM you have fallen 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.
For more information, see the DSM/SCM User’s Guide and online help and DSM/SCM
and the G06.28 RVU on page 1-7.
