2 Installing and Running TPDC
Installing TPDC
You use DSM/SCM to move the TPDC product files from the site update tape (SUT) to
your disk. For more information about DSM/SCM, see the DSM/SCM User’s Guide.
TPDC installation does not require a system generation (SYSGEN) and has minimal
impact on the system.
Task 1: Install the TPDC Product Files
1. Run DSM/SCM to install TPDC. See the DSM/SCM User’s Guide.
2. Log on as the super ID.
3. Volume to the disk location of the TPDC product files:
1>VOLUME $volname.ZTPDC
4. Run FUP/in SECURE/, which results in:
•
Ownership of the object files (TPFL and TPSFL) is given to the super ID.
•
The object files’s security is set to A-A-.
•
The PROGID attribute is set to ON for these object files.
The two object files can now read the volume disk directories.
At execution, the Tandem Performance System File Label (TPSFL) component
performs several basic checks to ensure that it can operate successfully, including
validating that the object file for TPSFL is owned by the super ID and the PROG-ID
attribute is set. The TPFL and TPSFL components must be owned by the super ID with
the PROGID attribute set so that TPSFL can obtain access to the disk directories on
the system.
DP2 provides a variety of levels of security to ensure that no one writes data to the
drive, so there is no exposure for the data on the drive.
To leave the component object files in the distribution subvolume, use the RUN
command:
$volume.ZTPDC.Componentname/ options/ runstring
