6 Loading the H06.03 RVU
This section describes how to perform a system load of the H06.03 RVU of the
NonStop operating system into the memory of each processor in an Integrity NonStop
NS-series server.
By default, one $SYSTEM is already configured. You can select $SYSTEM,
FCDM-Load, SCSI-Load, or an alternate system volume:
•
A load from $SYSTEM attempts to load the system from a disk in group, module,
slot 11.1.11 of a NonStop S-series I/O enclosure, by default. The $SYSTEM disks
must contain the current RVU operating system files for the Integrity NonStop
NS-series system. Table 6-1 shows the possible load paths in order of use:
•
An FCDM-Load attempts to load the system from a system disk in the disk drive
enclosure connected to IOAM enclosure group 110:
Note. For detailed information on performing a system load of an Integrity NonStop NS-series
server, see Section 15 in the NonStop NS-Series Operations Guide.
