Fallback SPRs

You must install fallback SPRs on your system before upgrading to the G06.24 RVU, or

fallback is not possible.

NonStop SQL/MP Fallback SPRs

As of G06.13, the NonStop SQL/MP Format 2 partitions program provides the ability to

extend the existing 2 GB partition limit up to a maximum of 1 terabyte (TB). No fallback

SPRs are available to fall back to pre-G06.03 RVUs. Fallback SPRs are available for

G06.03 through G06.13. See Scout for more information.

For more information on the fallback support contained in the SPRs listed in Table 3-2,

see the Interactive Upgrade Guide.

Fallback SPRs might also be needed for SQL/MX Release 2.0, as listed in Table 3-3

on page 3-7. Note that you must be on SQL/MX Release 1.8 to migrate to 2.0.

Caution. If you are running an RVU prior to G06.03, you cannot fall back to your current RVU.

If you want to ensure that you can fall back from the G06.24 RVU, you must:

1. Upgrade to a G06.13 or later RVU, with all the appropriate fallback SPRs applied. Run on

that RVU long enough to verify that your applications still function correctly.

2. Migrate to the G06.24 RVU.
