Configuration Files Used for the OSS Name Servers
•
When the BUFFERED CREATE (fast-create) attribute is set for a fileset:
°
The fileset cannot use more than one volume.
°
The fileset catalog must reside on that volume.
°
The storage-pool file specification is ignored and the storage pool used for file
creation (the creation pool) is the catalog disk volume.
The BUFFERED CREATE attribute controls buffering of new file labels by the disk
process. When this attribute is set, the labels for new files created on this fileset
are kept in memory until the disk process has no other work to perform; then the
labels are written to disk. When this attribute is not set, labels are written to disk
immediately.
This attribute increases the risk of losing file labels if the entire disk-process pair
for the volume fails. This option is usually used only for a volume that will contain
temporary files.
When a default ZOSSFSET file is created by the OSS Monitor on a system that was
not previously configured, it contains only an entry for a prototype root fileset with the
device label 000000. The prototype root fileset does not contain a valid catalog disk
volume name or a valid storage-pool file filename. You must use the SCF ALTER
FILESET command to provide that information before the root fileset can be mounted
and before you can use the TACL PINSTALL utility or COPYOSS macro successfully.
Beginning with RVU G06.10, when HP shipped a system with the OSS environment
preconfigured, ZOSSFSET contained a complete root fileset entry. This entry differed
slightly from the default attribute values, as follows:
In the following table, disk1, disk2, and disk3 refer to the first three disk volumes
from the set of volumes available for use in storage-pool files.
