Configuration Files Used for the OSS Name Servers
•
The file identifier ZOSSPOOL should not be used, to avoid conflict with an
unreleased HP feature.
•
The file identifier OSSPOOL should not be used, to avoid conflict with the file
identifier for the sample storage-pool file installed with the OSS product set.
Entries in a storage-pool file must follow these rules:
•
The name of a disk volume can consist of a dollar sign ($) followed by 1 to 6
uppercase letters and digits (A through Z and 0 through 9). The character after the
$ must be a letter. (Avoid 8-character disk volume names to avoid problems with
HP NonStop SQL/MP program objects that might reside in the OSS environment.)
•
One disk volume name can be specified on each line.
•
Up to 20 entries are allowed in the file.
•
The disk volumes specified:
°
Cannot be optical disks.
°
Cannot be administered through the NonStop Storage Management
Foundation (SMF).
°
Should not be in any other storage pool. Disk volumes can be shared among
storage pools, but that practice makes it very difficult to monitor and control
free space within a fileset.
•
HP recommends that:
°
A fileset should not include the disk volumes $SYSTEM or $DSMSCM in its
storage pool.
°
The root fileset should have more than one disk volume in its storage pool to
allow for future expansion.
°
A small fileset should have only one disk volume in its storage pool for best
performance.
•
Comments are allowed; see the sample file shown in Figure 5-3 on page 5-8.
Additions to or deletions from a storage-pool file take effect only after the fileset is
restarted (remounted).
Beginning with RVU G06.10, when HP shipped a system with the OSS environment
preconfigured, a storage-pool file named ZINSPOOL was defined for the single
predefined fileset and specified the disk volume $OSS. Beginning with RVU G06.15,
when HP ships a system with the OSS environment preconfigured or you use the
OSSSETUP utility to configure your system, the initial storage-pool files can be:
Attribute Fileset Fileset Fileset
Fileset name ROOT HOME TEMP
Storage-pool file name ROOTPOOL HOMEPOOL TEMPPOOL
