• Under rare conditions, the PINSTALL command used by COPYOSS can return an error message
that indicates a disk file could not be found; this message can be ignored when the named
file is an empty directory in the corresponding pax archive file. You can use the -cvf flags
of the PINSTALL command to display the table of contents for the pax archive to determine if
the named file is actually an empty directory.
Using PINSTALL
PINSTALL is used when:
• An SPR is installed manually
• Ported or third-party software requires you to install ustar-format files into the OSS file system
• The COPYOSS macro invokes it
• You do not use NonStop Software Essentials or DSM/SCM to install and maintain your OSS
product files but a major upgrade requires you to load multiple new or revised pax archives
into the OSS file system
You can speed up the process of loading OSS product files by loading individual files in parallel.
You can do this in either of the following ways:
• Run the PINSTALL utility in each of multiple terminal windows
• Repeatedly run the PINSTALL utility with the NOWAIT option on your home terminal and send
the output of each command to the spooler
For example, to load the contents of the basic OSS product set files individually, enter a PINSTALL
command at a TACL prompt in the following form for each file on the ZOSSUTL subvolume that
has a file code of 0 or 180:
PINSTALL -rvf /G/tsvvol/zossutl/archfile
tsvvol
is the disk volume where NonStop Software Essentials or DSM/SCM puts your TSVs.
archfile
is the Guardian file identifier for a pax archive file.
The options (such as -rvf) to the PINSTALL utility are case-sensitive. For more information about
the PINSTALL utility, see the pinstall(1) reference page either online or in the Open System
Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual.
Considerations
• Do not use PINSTALL on the files in an SPR if NonStop Software Essentials or DSM/SCM
installs the SPR and its Manage OSS Files check box is selected.
• Do not use PINSTALL on the entire contents of a subvolume. Files that have file identifiers
beginning with ZFB or ZPG are probably old files renamed by NonStop Software Essentials
or DSM/SCM and should be ignored. Using PINSTALL on such files would overwrite current
files with obsolete ones.
• PINSTALL is installed as a part of the basic OSS product set and is available even if the
subvolume containing COPYOSS has been deleted from your system.
• Under rare conditions, the PINSTALL command can return an error message that indicates a
disk file could not be found; this message can be ignored when the named file is an empty
directory in the corresponding pax archive file. You can use the -cvf flags of the PINSTALL
command to display the table of contents for the pax archive to determine if the named file
is actually an empty directory.
