OSS EasySetup Utility Messages
The OSS, OSSTTY, and NonStop Kernel subsystems generate EMS event messages
that are common to many SCF product modules. Such messages are described in the
SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs or the SCF Reference Manual for H-Series
RVUs and are not described in this guide. Such messages have negative message
numbers (for example, E-00019); only messages specific to the OSS subsystem with
positive message numbers (for example, E00019) are described in this guide.
For further information about EMS messages, see the Operator Messages Manual.
OSS EasySetup Utility Messages
The following console messages can appear on the terminal that issued an EasySetup
command. These messages appear because the OSS EasySetup utilities can also
generate EMS events, which are issued under the OSS subsystem ID; see OSS
Subsystem Messages on page A-61 for those messages.
filename
indicates the Guardian file that cannot be found, which is usually
$SYSTEM.ZSPIDEF.ZEMSTACL or $SYSTEM.ZSPIDEF.ZOSSTACL.
Cause. The utility cannot find the indicated event definition file, a Subsystem
Programmatic Interface (SPI) file containing the Event Management Service (EMS)
event definitions that the utility needs to issue event messages. This problem
commonly occurs when the SPI files either have not been installed, have been
installed on a volume other than $SYSTEM, or have been installed in a subvolume
other than ZSPIDEF.
Effect. All utilities continue processing. No EMS events are generated.
Recovery. If EMS events are needed, install or reinstall the missing SPI file, carefully
following the instructions for DSM/SCM use.
variable_name
indicates the Event Management Service (EMS) message token for which a
definition cannot be found.
Cause. The utility cannot find the event definition file (usually
$SYSTEM.ZSPIDEF.ZEMSTACL or $SYSTEM.ZSPIDEF.ZOSSTACL) that contains the
token definition. The event definition file is a Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI)
file containing the EMS message definitions that the utility needs to issue event
messages. This problem commonly occurs when the SPI files either have not been
