Migration Considerations

•

SQL/MP objects that are present on disks installed in a NonStop S-series I/O

enclosure are not immediately usable after the enclosure is connected to an

Integrity NonStop NS-Series system. The file labels and catalogs must be updated

to reflect the new system name and number. You can use the SQLCI MODIFY

command to update SQL/MP objects. Refer to the migration information contained

in the SQL Supplement for H-Series RVUs.

•

G-series application programs that reside on a NonStop S-series I/O enclosure

might require migration changes to run on an Integrity NonStop NS-series system

with an H-series RVU. For more information, refer to the H-Series Application

Migration Guide.

•

If you are moving a NonStop S-series I/O enclosure from a NonStop S-series

system to an Integrity NonStop NS-series system and want to migrate the data

online, you can perform a migratory revive if:

Your data is mirrored.

You have another NonStop S-series system or NonStop S-series I/O enclosure

connected to the NonStop S-series system.

As an overview, the necessary processes include:

Create a mirror of the data on the NonStop S-series I/O enclosure that is

moving to the Integrity NonStop NS-series system.

Disconnect the NonStop S-series I/O enclosure from the NonStop S-series

system and connect it to the Integrity NonStop NS-series system.

Change the mirror on the Integrity NonStop NS-series system to be the primary

disk.

Revive that primary disk with a mirror so that the Integrity NonStop NS-series

system contains both the primary and the mirror.
