HP Integrity NonStop H-Series - Manual (Page 248)

• Check the CONFLIST and CONFAUX files. The new one is replaced, and the old one is
renamed to a fabricated name. Only the timestamps should be different.
• Check the CONFTEXT file. If it changed, the new one is replaced, and the old one is renamed
to a fabricated name. Only the timestamps should be different.
• Run ZPHIRNM in preview mode to check the files to be renamed. No files critical to running
the SYSnn should be renamed.
Checking the OSIMAGE File After INITENV
To verify that the new and running OSIMAGEs are the same after an INITENV:
1. FUP DUP the latest SYSHnnnn file to a temporary subvolume. For example:
FUP DUP $DSMSCM.ZDSMSCM.SYSH0001, temp. SYSH0001, saveall
2. Run INITENV.
3. Set up DSM/SCM (profiles, receive software, and so on).
4. Perform an Initialization Build/Apply. SYSGEN is not performed for an Initialization
Build/Apply.
5. Run a Discrepancy Report and check for differences. Only the SRL files should be different.
6. On the next Build/Apply, system generation is automatic. Use the statement:
PATHCOM $YPHI;ALTER ta-001,PARAM override-sysnn
logical^targetrevision
For example:
PATHCOM $YPHI;ALTER ta-001,PARAM override-sysnn default2
7. Use QACOMP to compare the old SYSHnnnn file with the new one from this Build/Apply:
QACOMP TEMP.SYSH0001,ZDSMSCM.SYSH0001
Only three lines should be different:
•
Date of the report
• The configuration revision number
• The apply date line
If all other lines in both files match, they are the same.
Checking the OSIMAGE Files After System Generation
To verify that the new and running OSIMAGEs are the same after running a system generation
program at the end of a series of configuration revisions, do one of:
• After a Build/Apply with the OVERRIDE-SYSNN PARAM finishes, run a Configuration
Differences report. Enter the oldest revision first; then enter the latest revision. The report lists
the differences between all products in the two configurations. It might take a few minutes to
generate the report.
• Save the old SYSHnnnn file before running the Build/Apply. After the Build/Apply finishes,
use QACOMP on the old and new SYSHnnnn files.
