Table 4-4 Reinitialization Checklist (continued)
The default is to not compress archive files because it improves I/O time as
compared to compressing the files. Compressing archive files reduces their size
about fifty percent and reduces transmit time to remote systems over Expand if
space is more important at your site. However, compressing and decompressing
files adds to processing time for tasks involving archive files, such as receiving
software into the archive, creating software revisions, building configuration
revisions, and others.
If initializing a physical target system:
\hostname
NOTE: This step applies only when initializing a physical target system (and
not a host system):
Host system name for this target?
___
Enter the name of the host system that will manage this target system. After
changing a host system’s name, you must update the host system name on all
target systems before you can perform any DSM/SCM tasks on them.
$DSMSCM Database volume? ___
$DSMSCM is the default volume for the target database on the host. The volume
must be audited by TMF.
dsmscm-user-id DSM/SCM user ID.
The default DSM/SCM user ID is the super ID (255,255)
___
$ZHOME Hometerm for use by DSM/SCM Pathway servers and other processes. $ZHOME
is the default. This virtual terminal is always running in the paused state. This ___
prevents DSM/SCM from stopping even if the system console is not in the paused
state. If you do not use $ZHOME, you must use a terminal that can be paused
while DSM/SCM is running.
priority The DSM/SCM servers can consume a lot of CPU time to perform few tasks.
Set the priority on which the DSM/SCM Pathway servers and other processes ___
must run. The priority must be below the priority of your production applications
such that the DSM/SCM servers do not slow down your production applications.
The default priority of DSM/SCM servers is 50.
INITENV automatically runs STARTSCM and VERIFYI as its last step to verify the DSM/SCM system
environment configuration. DSM/SCM must be running for the verification procedure.
Task 2: Reconfigure the Host Database
Only a host system contains a host database. If you reinitialized a target system, proceed to “Task
3: Reconfigure the Target Database” (page 73) .
Reinitializing a host system removes all the default host and target system information in the host
database. You must reconfigure the host database to set the defaults for DSM/SCM operations
such as user security, file transfer, and scheduling options. All target information that you update
in the host database must also be updated in the target database.
1. Add a planner ID. For more information, see “Setting Security for Planners” (page 54) .
2. Configure the system profile for this system. For more information, see “Updating System Profile
Information through NonStop Software Essentials” (page 148) or “Updating Host or Target
System Profile Information through ZPHIHMI or ZPHITMI” (page 148) .
3. Designate the volumes to use for the archive or scratch space on this system. For more
information, see
“Updating the Volume Usage” (page 151) .
