You use OSS Monitor SCF commands for all these tasks except managing and
repairing fileset catalogs. You use the Guardian environment CVT utility to perform
operations on fileset catalogs.
Creating a Fileset
You can create a new fileset when:
•
You install a unique set of related files, such as a product or utilities.
•
You need to establish access permissions that apply to a set of files as a whole but
are not appropriate for all files (for example, a fileset can be made read-only).
Creating a Unique Fileset
To create a unique fileset:
1. Make sure that the mount-point directory exists; if it does not, create it and give it
universal access permission. HP recommends against the use of symbolic links as
mount-point names or within mount-point names; such use can cause problems
when filesets are restarted.
Use either the OSS shell directly or the TACL OSH command to create the mount-
point directory, as shown in the following examples:
•
To create the directory /home/henrysp from within the OSS environment,
enter the following OSS shell commands:
/bin/mkdir /home/henrysp
/bin/chmod 0777 /home/henrysp
