SPRs Required Before Upgrading
SPRs Required Before Upgrading
Depending on which RVU you are currently running, a number of SPRs must be
installed on your current RVU before you upgrade to the G06.24 RVU:
•
D46 DSM/SCM: At least a D46 DSM/SCM product version must be installed on the
host system before the site update tape (SUT) can be received into the archive.
Note that:
°
The D46 DSM/SCM client version enables you to manage Open System
Services (OSS) files. To obtain the client D46 version, you must download
DSM/SCM client from the ZDSMSCM subvolume after the T6031D46 server
software has been activated.
°
The new DSM/SCM Planner Interface has been enhanced to provide
installation and auditing functions for OSS files.
•
You can still use the T6031 ABB client with the T6031D46 server version to
manage Guardian files. However, you cannot use the T6031ABB client to manage
and audit OSS files. Therefore, HP recommends that the DSM/SCM client be at
the latest version (ABJ) and the server product version be T6031D46^ABJ.
•
Fallback: If you encounter a problem that cannot be resolved while running the
G06.24 RVU, you can fall back to a previous G-series RVU, provided that you have
installed appropriate SPRs (referred to as fallback SPRs) on your system prior to
installing the G06.24 RVU, as discussed under Fallback SPRs on page 3-6.
•
Interoperability: SPRs might also be required to maintain interoperability when
you migrate one or more nodes in a multinode environment to the G06.24 RVU, as
discussed under Interoperability SPRs on page 3-7.
•
You can also continue to use TSM client software Version 2003A on your system
console if you have to fall back to your earlier RVU. See the softdocs for
installation instructions. If OSM is not installed when migrating to the G06.24 RVU,
use TSM to update the firmware and perform system loads, noting that TSM does
not support new guided procedures, and tape and storage functions inherent in
G06.21 an later RVUs. TSM does support the new processors: S7800, S78000,
and S88000.
•
OSM Software Compatibility: New OSM SPRs are available on the G06.24 SUT.
However, always check Scout for NonStop Servers for any new SPRs that are
released. The T1089 ABO or later SP firmware SPR is available on the G06.24
SUT and should be installed even if you have already installed T1089 ABK. If OSM
is not installed when migrating to the G06.24 RVU, use TSM to update the
firmware and perform system loads, noting that TSM does not support new guided
procedures, tape and storage functions inherent in G06.21 and later RVUs. OSM
does support the new processors: S7800, S78000, and S88000.
Caution. Do not attempt to install a G05.00 or later RVU with a C32 product version of
DSM/SCM. System outages will result.
