SSH2 License and Version Information
The SSH2 release provides a TACL macro that retrieves license and version information. After changing the current
subvolume to a subvolume containing an SSH2 installation the macro is started using the RUN command, e.g.:
VOLUME $SYSTEM.ZSSH
RUN SSH2INFO
The SSH2INFO macro will display the content of the license file (if found). First the default subvolume will be checked
when looking for the license file, then the standard installation subvolume $SYSTEM.ZSSH.
Then the macro lists the vproc information of the files SSH2, SFTPSERV, SFTP, SFTPOSS, SSH, SSHOSS, SSHCOM,
SCPOSS, STN and SHOWLOG.
For objects SFTP, SSH, SSHCOM, SHOWLOG the macro checks the default subvolume first, then subvolume
$SYSTEM.SYSnn and finally $SYSTEM.ZSSH. The vproc information of all objects found is retrieved but only the
vproc of the first object found is displayed. These objects are expected to reside in subvolume $SYSTEM.SYSnn after
the standard HP installation process.
For the other objects, namely SSH2, SFTPSERV, SFTPOSS, SSHOSS, SCPOSS, STN, the SSH2INFO macro checks
the default subvolume first, then subvolume $SYSTEM.ZSSH and finally $SYSTEM.SYSnn. The vproc information of
all objects found is retrieved but only the vproc of the first object found is displayed. These objects are expected to reside
in subvolume $SYSTEM.ZSSH after the standard HP installation process.
The retrieved vprocs are then used to execute a consistency check: A warning will be issued if an object exists in both
locations $SYSTEM.ZSSH and $SYSTEM.SYSnn and the vproc information differs.
Updating to a new version of the SSH2 file set
The following describes how to upgrade to a new version of SSH2 and its related object files. It assumes that an older
version of the product is already running successfully and configured correctly.
Download of the object file set
1. Download from the comForte web site:
As first step please download the PAK archive containing the new files from the comForte web site. This will
be a single file with an extension ".100" for S-Series and extension ".800" for H-Series.
2. Transfer file to NonStop system and unPAK in scratch subvolume:
Transfer the file to the NonStop system in binary and FUP ALTER it to the file code 100/800 as indicated by
the extension. RUN the file and the new object files will be placed on the scratch subvolume.
Installation of the new version
1. Backup your existing object files.
2. Stop all SSH2 instances.
It is assumed that you have a standard way to STOP all running SSH2 instances.
3. FUP DUP the new object files from the scratch subvolume to your production subvolume.
4. Restart the SSH2 instances with the new version.
It is assumed that you have a standard way to restart the SSH2 processes.
This is the time to check that the new version of SSH2 is running properly in your environment.
5. Backing out the new version.
