1 CLIM Software Compatibility Overview RVU Upgrade Consideration: When upgrading from one RVU to another, all CLIMs must be updated to the minimum supported CLIM DVD version as indicated in this document. If a downgrade to a prior RVU is required, then a downgrade to a prior CLIM DVD version might be required. Downgrade to a prior CLIM DVD version requires a reimage of the CLIM. This process can take a substantial time (one hour for two CLIMs) and should be accounted for in any maintenance window.
2 Recommended (and Shipped) CLIM DVD Versions This chapter lists the recommended CLIM DVD version for each RVU.

3 Minimum CLIM DVD Versions for RVUs by CLIM Type This chapter lists the minimum CLIM DVD version for each RVU by CLIM type. A CLIM software level can be higher than the minimum CLIM software level for the RVU but it cannot be lower than the minimum CLIM software level for the RVU. NOTE: A CLIM configured with T0853H01^ACP or later can be restored from a pre-T0853H01^ACP backup. However, a CLIM configured with a pre-T0853H01^ACP DVD version can only be restored with a backup of the same version.

5 Other CLIM Software Compatibility DL380 G6 CLIM Required Minimum SPRs This section lists the required minimum SPRs for DL380 G6 CLIMs. The minimum RVU base required for DL380 G6 CLIMS is J06.06/H06.17. A system that is running J06.10/H06.21 or above can support DL380 G6 CLIMs without any additional SPRs. NOTE: G6 CLIMs are not supported on L15.02 or NonStopX systems.
NonStop SPR T-Number Description SPR Revision T0849H01 CLIM NIC AAF T0856H01 M8390-12CG, M8391-CG, M8392-CG SAS disk enclosures AAH 1 The OSM Low-Level Link is delivered on the NonStop Console DVD, not the SUT. The DVD for J06.10 or above contains a version of the software that will support DL380 G6 CLIMs. SSOCLIM Script All commands issued from a NonStop system to its CLIMs over SSH through the dedicated service LAN require the CLIM username and password.
6 Third-Party Software Requirements IB CLIM The IB CLIMs are used as part of a Low Latency Solution. The Low Latency Solution architecture provides a high speed and low latency messaging system for stock exchange trading from the incoming trade server to the NonStop operating system. The solution utilizes the third-party Informatica software for messaging and order sequencing which must be installed separately.
