Adding a Server
Adding a Server
Some kinds of OSS servers can be added to the OSS configuration database. In the
current RVU, you can add only an OSS name server for a fileset other than the root
fileset.
To add an OSS name server to the OSS configuration database:
1. Determine the appropriate configuration for the new server. For help in defining an
appropriate configuration, see the rules described under The ZOSSSERV File on
page 4-14.
2. Use the SCF ADD SERVER Command to add the new server to the configuration
database.
3. If the new OSS name server is assuming some of the workload of an existing OSS
name server:
a. Use the ALTER FILESET Command to change the OSS name server assigned
to the NAMESERVER attribute of a started fileset.
b. Use the STOP FILESET Command to stop the started fileset.
4. Use the START FILESET Command to start (mount) the new or stopped fileset
assigned to the new OSS name server. This action automatically starts the new
OSS name server.
5. If your site uses the STARTOSS utility and the new OSS name server services a
new fileset, you should also add the new fileset name to the OSSINFIL file. See
OSSINFIL File on page C-19 for more information.
Other servers, such as the network services servers, do not need to be added to an
OSS configuration database. Such servers can be added to the OSS environment by
starting them. See Starting a Network Services Server on page 4-35.
