G06.24 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide—528593-005
1-1
1 Overview of Installing G06.24
This section introduces the tools and requirements for:
•
Upgrading a single NonStop S-series server to the G06.24 RVU from any G06.06
or later G-series RVU
•
Falling back from G06.24 to a previous (G06.06 or later) G-series RVU
Disk Space Requirements
The maximum site update tape (SUT) with all standard products, plus all optional
products available to customers, contains approximately 2 or 3 gigabytes (GB) of data,
depending on optional products (however, actual disk space required can be much
greater).
System Console Requirements
A system console is an HP-approved personal computer used to run maintenance and
diagnostic software for NonStop S-series servers. New system consoles are
preconfigured with the required HP and third-party software, which means that OSM is
the preinstalled client, and Windows XP Professional is the default operating system.
When upgrading to the latest RVU, software upgrades can be installed from the HP
NonStop System Console Installer CD (S7X-SWV1, Update 3), which must be ordered
separately from Scout for NonStop Servers through HP NonStop eServices Portal at
https://onepoint.nonstop.compaq.com/buildpage.asp. Always check Scout for any
Installer updates. Depending on your current RVU, a Windows 2000 Service Pack
might need to be installed. See the NonStop System Console Installer Guide for
detailed information on installing the system console software.
Note that you can still install TSM from the Installer CD. TSM is compatible with both
XP Professional and Windows 2000. Windows XP Professional is recommended for
OSM and must be ordered separately. You must order the HP NonStop System
Console Kit for Migrating to Microsoft Windows XP Professional. See the NonStop
System Console Guide for Migrating to Microsoft Windows XP Professional.
Unless OSM is already installed and configured on your server, use the TSM client and
TSM server software to update firmware and perform a system load to the new G06.24
RVU. To use OSM, certain client-side system requirements must be met. See the
NonStop System Console Installer Guide and the OSM Migration Guide for PC system
requirements and information on migrating to OSM.
You can have both the TSM client and the OSM client-based components on your
system consoles. However, to avoid duplicate dial-outs, use either the OSM
Notification Director (ND) or TSM Notification Director, but not both.
