Open System Services Management and Operations Guide (G06.30+, H06.08+, J06.03+)

NOTE: Before using an OSS command, read the appropriate reference page either online or in
the Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual to make sure that the command
behaves in the way you expect. OSS commands conform to the XPG4 standards, but some OSS
commands and utilities might have different options and behavior from the version of the UNIX
operating system that you are familiar with.
The Open System Services User’s Guide contains tables that show the approximate correspondence
between commands supported in the Guardian environment and the UNIX commands and utilities
supported in the OSS environment.
The OSS command set differs from other implementations of UNIX shell commands and utilities.
Many OSS commands contain HP extensions that display Guardian environment information or
allow actions that do not exist in the UNIX environment.
The OSS Utilities product (OSSUTIL – T8626) provides the essential OSS user commands and
utilities. Beginning with the J06.14 and H06.25 RVUs, the OSS Core Utilities product (T1202)
provides additional Open Source utilities. For information about the OSS Core Utilities, see “OSS
Core Utilities User Commands” (page 243).
Management and Operations Tasks
The only OSS management and operations tasks that must occur within the OSS environment are
performing backups, configuring printer aliases, and defining default profiles; the rest can occur
from the Guardian environment. Table 2 lists common OSS management and operations tasks,
along with the location of information on performing those tasks.
If a task is not listed, it is a task that affects the NonStop operating system and includes the Guardian
environment as well as the OSS environment. For information about performing these tasks, see
Guardian documentation.
Many of the general user tasks described in the Open System Services User’s Guide are also useful
for a system manager or operator. See that guide when the Guardian documentation does not
describe a task you need to perform.
