Before installing an SPR:
°
Do not apply any SPR unless you verify that you can apply it to your current
G-series RVU. Review the SPR Introduction Document (SID) for the SPR or
use the Web-based Scout for NonStop Servers analysis tool to check the
“Usable With RVUs” information for the SPR.
°
Do not install an SPR for products that are not supported for your current
G-series RVU.
°
Check with your service provider or Scout to verify that you have the most
current SPRs for your current G-series RVU and to see if any of the SPRs
listed in this section have been superseded by newer SPRs.
°
Check the softdoc for each product for additional installation considerations.
