Additional OSS Issues
°
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.
•
Beginning with the G06.23 RVU, you can use SCF to configure an OSS process as
a persistent process under the persistence manager ($ZKRN). These SPRs (or
later) are required to support SCF:
°
T1084G06^AAJ
°
T1085G06^AAN
°
T6586G07^AAZ
°
T5800G06^AAR
°
T9082G02 ^ADA
°
T8624G10 ^AAN
°
T8397G00 ^AAB
For more information about the new attribute and considerations for its use, see
the SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem.
•
Beginning with the G06.24 RVU, the OSS gtacl command has two more optional
flags added to its command line. For more information, see the T8628AAJ softdoc.
If you have to fall back to a previous RVU, scripts that contain one or more of these
optional flags must be revised because the function will not be available.
•
Beginning with the G06.27 RVU, the OSS environment has reimplemented its
process checkpointing and caching features to improve fault-tolerance for OSS
disk files. New fileset configuration options allow separate control of checkpointing
and caching and are implemented according to whether the standard O_SYNC flag
is used for an OSS file open. (The nonstandard S_NONSTOP flag is now ignored.)
The default configuration settings provide the recommended minimum level of fault
tolerance, but it is possible to configure a fileset for legacy fault-tolerant behavior.
Checkpointing and caching features are configured using OSS Monitor SCF
module command options, rather than the storage subsystem SCF DISK
command. (The new fault-tolerant behavior requires disk caching to remain
enabled by the storage subsystem.) For more information, see the Open System
Services Management and Operations Guide.
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.
