Interoperability SPRs

Node interoperability is the ability of the nodes (systems) in a network of NonStop

Kernel operating system nodes to communicate and interact with each other.

See the Interactive Upgrade Guide for more details on maintaining interoperability for

the RDF and NonStop SQL AUDSERV products.

RDF Interoperability SPRs

The SPRs listed in Table 3-4 enable RDF on a node running an RVU prior to G06.00 or

D46.00 to interoperate with RDF on a node running a G06.00 or later or D46.00 or later

RVU. The RDF interoperability SPR must be applied to the down-level node as a part

of the migration of any other node in the RDF environment to a G06.00 or later

G-series, or D46.00 or later, D-series RVU.

T9053AOZ

If applied, a system load is required before

upgrading to the new RVU. The SPRs are

applicable to RVUs G06.13 through G06.22.

See DP2 (G06.16, G06.23, G06.24)

page 1-24.

SQL/MP T9195AAn To minimize the risks involved with falling

back without a clean TMF shutdown, use

the appropriate SQL GOAWAY utility to drop

all SQL/MX objects and their resource forks.

Before doing so, see Migration

Considerations for SQL/MX Release 2.0 on

page 1-29.

TMF T8607AFn No fallback SPRs are required if you are

running on G06.18 through G06.23 or if a

TMF clean shutdown is performed and other

installation and fallback steps are taken for

SQL/MX Release 2.0.

Note. Interoperability support exists in various earlier SPRs, but HP recommends that you use

the most current SPRs, because they contain several important corrections to the

interoperability support.
