Managing and Repairing Fileset Catalog Files
The LastError value reported (9) indicates that confusion exists over the state of
the mount point. In this example, the LastError value is the same as the OSS
Monitor error message number (E0009).
Managing and Repairing Fileset Catalog Files
An OSS name server maintains a catalog file for each fileset it manages. These
catalog files require maintenance when:
•
New OSS features require changes to the format of entries in the catalog. This
maintenance is described in Upgrading OSS Catalog Files on page 5-40.
•
Old catalog files need to be moved or removed as part of fileset management. This
maintenance is described in Moving and Removing OSS Catalog Files on
page 5-41.
Upgrading OSS Catalog Files
A fileset created while your site used a previous version of Open System Services can
be used unmodified with the current software. However, filesets with catalog files that
are not upgraded to the current RVU cannot support OSS features available in the
current RVU but not available in the RVU used at the time the fileset was created or
last upgraded. For example, a fileset created on a system running a D3x RVU cannot
contain symbolic links until its catalog file is upgraded.
Your fileset catalog files should have been automatically upgraded when you installed
a new product version of the OSS Monitor and started it for the first time. If your fileset
catalog files were not upgraded at that time, you should consider upgrading them as
soon as possible.
To upgrade a fileset catalog file:
1. Determine whether the fileset is mounted by using the SCF STATUS FILESET
Command.
2. If the fileset is mounted, stop the fileset by using the procedure described under
Stopping (Unmounting) a Fileset on page 5-13.
3. Enter the following SCF command for the fileset:
DIAGNOSE FILESET filesetname, UPGRADE
filesetname
specifies the fileset to have its catalog file upgraded so that it can support
current OSS features.
4. As soon as the upgrade operation is complete on the fileset catalog file, use the
SCF START FILESET Command for the fileset. Note that the root fileset must be
started before any other fileset can be started.
