Record the Current SYSnn
Record the Current SYSnn
Identify and record the current SYSnn subvolume on your system. You will have to
specify this SYSnn subvolume if you need to fall back from the G06.24 RVU.
At a TACL prompt, issue the status command to determine the current SYSnn
subvolume. For example:
3> status 0,0
System \ELI
Process Pri PFR %WT Userid Program file Hometerm
0,0 201 P R 000 255,255 $SYSTEM.SYS01.OSIMAGE $YMIOP.#CLCI
Swap File Name: $SYSTEM.#0
Back Up Important Files
Before you upgrade to the newest RVU, back up to tape critical host applications, such
as the following:
•
NonStop SQL/MP files
HP recommends that you always have a current backup copy of the
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ZZSQLCI2 file in case you need to initialize SQL later if you
have problems with your new RVU during or after installation.
•
NonStop SQL/MX files
•
Spooler Control files
•
TMF files
