Other servers, such as the network services servers, do not need to be added to an OSS
configuration database. Such servers can be added to the OSS environment by starting them. See
“Starting a Network Services Server” (page 129).
Configuring a Server
How and when you configure a server depends on the type of server.
• “Configuring an OSS Name Server” (page 121)
• “Configuring the OSS Message-Queue Server” (page 121)
• “Configuring OSS Sockets Local Server 2 Servers (AF_UNIX Release 2)” (page 122)
• “Configuring the OSS Sockets Local Server (AF_UNIX Release 1)” (page 122)
• “Configuring the OSS Transport Agent Servers” (page 122)
• “Configuring the OSS Resource Agent Servers” (page 123)
• “Configuring Network Services Servers, Tools, and Applications” (page 123)
Other servers used by OSS applications require separate procedures. For more information, see
the manual appropriate for a specific server.
Configuring an OSS Name Server
You configure an OSS name server by adding or deleting an entry for it in the Enscribe database
ZOSSSERV file. Remember that a fileset cannot be managed by more than one OSS name server;
however, an OSS name server can manage more than one fileset.
To add a new OSS name server to a configuration, follow the procedure described in “Adding a
Server” (page 120). To remove an OSS name server from a configuration, follow the procedure
described in “Removing an OSS Name Server” (page 138).
If the initial or default values for the attributes of a specific OSS name server are not optimal, see
the procedure described in “Reconfiguring an OSS Name Server” (page 135). The attribute values
appropriate to the best performance on a specific system depend on factors unique to each site’s
configuration and mix of applications. Use nondefault values to tune your system only after gathering
performance data, analyzing process memory requirements, and considering the effects of a default
configuration on system overhead.
Configuring the OSS Message-Queue Server
You configure the OSS message-queue server by changing its entries in the Enscribe database
ZOSSSERV file. The following procedure assumes that no applications that use message queues
have been started yet:
1. To stop the OSS message-queue server, enter this OSS Monitor SCF command:
STOP SERVER $ZPMON.#ZMSGQ
