Recreating the ZPCONFIG File
To recreate your fallback ZPCONFIG file, follow these steps:
1. Open ZXCONFIG or a new ZPCONFIG file in a Guardian text editor.
2. Modify or add to the information in the file as needed to match the filesets in your
OSS environment, according to the format described in the sample file comments.
You can use the contents of an SCF log file (created as described in Falling Back
to a G0x Release Version Update Preceding G05.00 on page D-8) to help create a
current ZXCONFIG or ZPCONFIG file.
There must be a root fileset, and the root fileset must have the device label
000000. The root fileset must be named ROOT. The examples in this section
assume that the name ROOT is used for the root fileset.
Using the fast-create option for a fileset provides better performance than not using
the option, but there are some disadvantages to using the option:
Fast-create filesets can contain only one disk volume, and the catalog file must
reside on that volume.
== FAST The fast-create flag, which controls buffering of
== new file labels by the disk process. When this
== flag is on, the labels for new files created on
== this fileset are kept in memory until the disk
== process has no other work to perform, then are
== written to disk. When this flag is off, labels
== are written to disk immediately.
==
== Y turns on buffering
== N, blank, or omitted leaves buffering turned off
==
== When Y is specified, the fileset cannot use more
== than one volume and the fileset catalog must
== reside on that volume.
==
== NEVER alter these 3 fields if the fileset has ever been mounted!!

Note. HP strongly recommends that you use mirrored disk volumes for catalog volumes.
