3 Starting and Configuring TFDS
This section contains the procedures for starting and configuring TFDS on your
NonStop system. TFDSCOM commands are the same for systems running either G-
series or D-series RVUs. This section covers these topics:
Starting TFDS on a System Running a G-Series
RVU
For systems running G06.06 or later, TFDS is automatically started and managed
through the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF). TFDS is one of many SCF subsystems
configured to start automatically during system load and then become a permanent
system component. This approach reduces the number of times you must shut down
your system or applications for system configuration changes. For more information
about SCF, see the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs.
Stopping TFDS in SCF
To stop the TFDS process in SCF:
SCF 1> abort process $zzkrn.#tfds
Starting TFDS in SCF for the First Time (RVUs Prior to G06.06)
Starting TFDS From the Default Location
Use the following commands to start TFDS in SCF for the first time from the default
location:
SCF 1> add process $zzkrn.#tfds, autorestart 1, primarycpu 0, &
name $zdmp, program $system.sys00.tfds, &
startupmsg "1", startmode application, defaultvol $system.ztfds

Caution. If you are running any of the following software, you should disable the processor
dump and reload capabilities of the software to avoid possible failures:
•
Programmatic Network Administrator (PNA), D-series or G-series
•
Rule Management Services (RMS), D-series or G-series
HP recommends the TFDS software for processor dumps and reloads because it includes
recurrence analysis, data collection, and incident-tracking features that are not available with
PNA or RMS. To disable software processor dump and reload capabilities, see the instructions
in Appendix A, Disabling Other Software
