Example 32 SCF Help OSS START FILESET Display
The START FILESET command makes an existing fileset available to OSS
users. This action is also known as mounting a fileset.

More text? ([Y],N)
If you answer “Y” to the prompt for more text, you get more text or, if there is no more relevant
text, you are returned to the previous screen (in this case, the SCF HELP command OSS FILESET
menu).
The HELP OSS command also returns brief definitions of objects. For example, if you enter the
following command at an SCF prompt:
HELP OSS FILESET
the following PM help text is returned:
FILESET is a collection of related files.
When you enter the following command at an SCF prompt, a display similar to the one shown for

HELP OSS error_number
error_number
specifies the 5-digit number of the error to display an explanation for.
Example 33 SCF HELP OSS Command Sample Error Number Display

The OSS Monitor stops processing the command.
Recommended Action
Reissue the command with appropriate attributes and values.
Fault Tolerance and Continuous Availability
All servers controlled through the OSS Monitor (except for the $ZTAnn transport-agent server) can
be run as fault-tolerant process pairs. The OSS Monitor itself can be run as a persistent process,
as described in “Starting the OSS Monitor as a Persistent Process” (page 52).
In the unlikely event that both the primary and backup OSS name server processes fail, the OSS
Monitor restarts an OSS name server and restarts any filesets that that OSS name server was
managing. If the OSS name server is not running with a backup process and fails because of a
