2 OSSSETUP Utility
The OSSSETUP utility:
•
Performs validation checks (see Validation Check Errors on page C-1)
•
Configures and starts necessary OSS processes as NonStop Kernel generic
processes
Unless the EASYSETUP^STARTUP param is set with either $NULL, $ZSMP or
both of these processes prior to executing the OSSSETUP utility, $NULL and
$ZSMP will not be configured as generic processes. If these processes are
configured as NonStop Kernel generic processes, the persistence manager
($ZPM) starts them when the operating system is loaded.
•
Configures the OSS servers
•
Configures and starts the ROOT fileset (independently of other filesets)
•
Installs the OSS product files from pax archives by using the COPYOSS utility to
install files from the relevant pax archives on the ZOSSUTL subvolume
The ZOSSUTL subvolume is no longer required to be on the $SYSTEM volume if
the EASYSETUP^UTILVOL param is used. To run the OSSSETUP utility in
interactive or non-interactive mode, use the EASYSETUP^UTILVOL param. (For a
comparison of these modes, see Modes of Running OSSSETUP on page 2-3.)
•
Configures the HOME and TEMP filesets
•
Starts the OSS servers and filesets that the OSS Monitor ($ZPMON) manages;
that is, servers and filesets that the OSSINF file refers to (for a description of the
OSSINF file, see Table 1-2 on page 1-2)
These processes start on each processor when that processor becomes active
(whether or not the OSS subsystem is installed):
•
Creates the /etc/profile directory
•
Runs the merge_whatis utility
