Before You Begin
1. Verify that the system is up with at
least one processor running the
NonStop Kernel.
See Check Processor Status (Using
either TSM or OSM) on page 4-4.
2. Verify that you know the SYSnn for the
new RVU and for your current RVU.
•
The SYSnn for your current RVU was
determined in the Record the Current
SYSnn procedure on 4-14.
•
The SYSnn for the G06.24 RVU was
created during the Build and Apply
the New Software Revision
procedure on 5-13.
3. Verify that you know the correct
version of the SP firmware for the new
RVU and for your current RVU.
See Determine the Current and New
Versions of SP Firmware on page 7-4.
4. Verify that each SP is running the
correct SP version for your current
RVU.
See Verify That Your Current RVU Is
Running the Correct Version of SP
Firmware (Using TSM) on page 7-5.

or OSM asks you to reset the SP
firmware.

file to the system console.
