SWID (T9298D40^AAK) (G06.20)

SWID is the software identification tool invoked by the SYSGENR program that audits

file identification information about your software. If you are currently on a post G06.19

RVU (G06.20 or G06.21 RVU), you do not need to restore and receive the new SWID

PVU before you install the G06.24 SUT. If you are on a pre-G06.20 RVU, you must

restore and receive the new SWID PVU before you install the G06.24 SUT. See Copy

(RESTORE) the D46 DSM/SCM Product Version and SWID (Optional) to Disk on

page B-6.

Tandem Failure Data System (TFDS)

Ensure that TFDS is configured properly on the system. (TFDS monitors processors in

NonStop servers for software failure notifications.) The dump volume should not be

protected by Safeguard, and should also be properly configured.

TNS/R CRE Heap Manager (G06.15)

The G06.15 RVU introduced a new heap manager, NSK CRE/RTL (T1269), an

alternative to the Native CRE/RTL product (T8431). Either heap manager can be

chosen during the creation of a system configuration revision. Consequently, the

choice of which one to install is an independent decision for your system. See support

note S02001 for migration considerations and S03104 for installation instructions.

Note that if you are installing and using OSM, HP recommends that the NSK CRE/RTL

(T1269) product be installed on the system, as opposed to the Native CRE/RTL

(T8431), which is the default. Refer to the support note S02001 for migration

considerations for T1269.

TSM Client and Server Software (G06.22, G06.23, G06.24)

Part of the G06.24 installation process may involve upgrading your system console to

TSM client software Version 2003A.

If you have to fall back to an earlier RVU after installing G06.24, you can continue to

use TSM client software Version 2003A on your system console.

Caution. You cannot simultaneously use both heap managers (T8431 and T1269) on the

same system.

Note. You must install and configure the latest TSM server SPR and client before updating

processor bootcode firmware online.
