Starting the OSS Monitor
The TACL PARAMs listed in Table 2-2 were used in G-series RVUs preceding G04.00
but no longer affect OSS Monitor or OSS environment behavior. These PARAMs can
be safely deleted from TACL scripts.
Specifying a Home Terminal
If you start the OSS Monitor from a terminal connected through Telserv (that is, a
TELNET pseudo-terminal), you must specify a different device as your home terminal
in the RUN command that starts the OSS Monitor. If you do not specify a different
device and if your terminal session exits after you start the OSS Monitor, the OSS
OSS^NAMESERVER^TIMEOUT seconds Defines the amount of time that the OSS
Monitor waits for a response from an OSS name
server.
This PARAM can provide the initial configuration
value for the IOTIMEOUT attribute of the
subsystem. If this PARAM is supplied after the
first execution of the OSS Monitor, it replaces
the current value for the IOTIMEOUT attribute of
the subsystem.
This value is kept in the ZOSSPARM file and
controlled through the SCF ALTER SUBSYS
command. See ALTER SUBSYS, ALTER MON,
and ALTER PROCESS Commands on
page 12-32 for more information about the value
that can be specified.
Table 2-2. Obsolete TACL PARAMs for the OSS Monitor
PARAM Name Description
OSS^FSCK^SWAPVOL Defines the volume and subvolume used for FSCK
swap files.
This value is now automatically provided by the
NonStop Kernel subsystem.
OSS^NAMESERVER^CPU Defines the processor number of the processor on
which the primary OSS name server process is started.
This value is now kept in the ZOSSSERV file and
controlled through the SCF ALTER SERVER
command.
POSIX^CONFIG^LOC Defines the volume and subvolume of the ZPCONFIG
file.
This value is no longer meaningful, because the
location of configuration files is permanently set to
$SYSTEM.ZXOSSMON.
