Removing Older Configuration Files
Removing Older Configuration Files
If you have upgraded from an earlier RVU, you might be able to save some disk space
by deleting old database files. Whether you should delete files depends on whether
you are:
•
Upgrading From a G05.00 or Subsequent G-Series RVU on page 5-34
•
Upgrading From an RVU Preceding G05.00 on page 5-34
Upgrading From a G05.00 or Subsequent G-Series RVU
Do not delete the older OSS Monitor database files (ZPOSFSET, ZPOSPARM,
ZPOSSERV, ZPOSFS00, and ZPOSFS01). If you need to fall back to the RVU you
upgraded from, you need those database files.
Upgrading From an RVU Preceding G05.00
Older configuration files can be deleted. Once the G05.00 RVU is installed and the
OSS file system is started for the first time, the content of the ZXMNTTAB file is no
longer accurate. That file should be deleted as soon as you are sure that you need not
fall back to a previous RVU.
The ZXCONFIG file can also be deleted. However, you might want to maintain the
contents of ZXCONFIG in parallel with the ZOSSFSET file, because if you need to fall
back to the RVU you upgraded from, an accurate ZXCONFIG file is essential. You
would need to rename ZXCONFIG to ZPCONFIG before you could bring up the
previous RVU.
Moving a Directory Hierarchy to Its Own
Fileset
Before moving a directory hierarchy, you should back up the entire fileset using the
pax utility. For information on how to back up OSS files to the Guardian file system,
see Creating a pax Backup of OSS Files in the Guardian File System on page 6-20.
HP recommends that you make multiple copies of the backup.
