DSM/SCM and the G06.24 RVU

Starting with the G06.18 RVU, a new configuration file, A7CINFO, is introduced for the

managing of OSS files. To manage OSS files, you must install the T6031 D46 PVU on

the host system before receiving the SUT. The corresponding client version of the

software must also be installed.

To upgrade the DSM/SCM client, the DSM/SCM client version must be downloaded

from the ZDSMSCM subvolume. (If you have acquired new system consoles, the most

up-to-date DSM/SCM client is already installed.) For download and installation

instructions for both the server-side and client-side, see Appendix B, Installing the

Latest DSM/SCM SPRs and Client Software.

Installing Required or Recommended SPRs Before Installing a

New RVU

Before installing G06.24, install required or recommended SPRs. An SPR could be

required for any of these reasons:

•

To prepare for fallback

•

To install a defect repair for a product that is required for a successful upgrade

•

To maintain interoperability for a product across a network

To determine which SPRs you should apply to your current RVU before you install

G06.24, see Section 3, Installing SPRs Before Upgrading to the G06.24 RVU.

To install SPRs using DSM/SCM, see Appendix A, Using DSM/SCM to Install SPRs.

Installing the G06.24 RVU Using DSM/SCM

1. Receive new software into the DSM/SCM Archive.

When software is received, the files from each product are stored in the DSM/SCM

Archive, a holding area for your software. File attributes are stored in the

DSM/SCM host database. Each time a new version of a product is received, only

changed files are placed in the Archive, and file attributes are updated in the Host

database.

2. Create a new software revision.

A software revision is a list of products stored in the DSM/SCM Archive that will be

built into a new software revision. A software revision can include a SUT, SPRs,

and third-party software. When you create a new software revision, DSM/SCM

selects the products in the SUT that are licensed for your site and replaces

previous versions of the products.
