1 OSS EasySetup Quickstart
OSS EasySetup includes the OSSSETUP utility, which installs a minimal OSS
subsystem on a system that does not have an OSS subsystem. (A minimal OSS
subsystem does not include OSS subcomponents such as HP NonStop SQL/MX or the
HP NonStop TUXEDO product.)
HP recommends that you use the Procedure to Install and Configure a Minimal OSS
Subsystem on page 1-6 to install the OSS subsystem. If you want more than a minimal
OSS subsystem, you can update the minimal OSS subsystem after you have installed
it.
To manually install a new OSS subsystem or to update an existing OSS subsystem,
see the Open System Services Management and Operations Guide.
By default, DSM/SCM does not manage OSS files. However, beginning with the
G06.18 RVU, you can use DSM/SCM to manage your OSS file installation. (For more
information, see the DSM/SCM User’s Guide.)
The OSS EasySetup product allows you, with limited knowledge of either the UNIX or
NonStop operating system, to quickly install a minimal OSS subsystem in either of two
modes:
•
Noninteractive (DEFAULTS) mode, which gives your OSS subsystem the default
settings
•
Interactive mode, which gives you more control over installation parameters

The OSS EasySetup utilities are on the installation subvolume ZOSSINS. You must
run the utilities from ZOSSINS. You cannot run the utilities from a remote system.
