NonStop Operations Guide for H-Series and J-Series RVUs

About This Document
This guide describes how to perform routine system hardware operations for HP Integrity NonStop™
NS-series systems and HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystems. It covers H-series release version updates
and J-series release version updates.
This guide is primarily geared toward commercial type NonStop BladeSystems and NonStop
NS-series systems (see “Differences Between NonStop NS-Series Systems” (page 36) for high-level
architectural and hardware differences between the various commercial models). While basic
monitoring principles, such as “Using the OSM Service Connection” (page 59), apply to Telco as
well as commercial systems, have your service provider refer to the carrier grade sections in the
hardware installation manual for your system for hardware details and service procedures specific
to Telco systems.
NOTE: NonStop BladeSystem refers to the hardware that makes up the NonStop BladeSystem.
NonStop NS-series refers to the hardware that makes up the NonStop NS-series system.
The term NonStop server refers to NonStop NS-series servers, NonStop server blades in NonStop
BladeSystems, and some NonStop NS-series systems.
H-series and J-series refer to the software that runs on NonStop BladeSystems and NonStop NS-series
systems.
