Delivery of SQL/MX Releases
An EAP release introduces a new product to customers at a very early stage and is a
type of test program conducted at a customer site.
For more information about these types of releases, see the Managing Software
Changes manual.
Delivery of SQL/MX Releases
Each SQL/MX release is delivered as a set of Software Product Revisions (SPRs).
Some SQL/MX SPRs are first available for downloading from Scout for NonStop
Servers and are later available on the next RVU’s site update tape (SUT). Other
SQL/MX SPRs are available only on specific RVU SUTs and are not available in Scout
for NonStop Servers. Rarely, as is the case for SQL/MX Release 3.0 (H30), which is an
Early Product Delivery (EPD), the SQL/MX SPRs must be ordered in Scout for
NonStop Servers as a backup tape delivery.
For information about the delivery of SQL/MX Release 3.0, see Table 3-1
on page 3-2.
To learn how to acquire a SQL/MX release that is not listed in those tables, check the
SQL/MX Master Softdoc (T0650) for that SQL/MX release.
RVUs and Supported SQL/MX Releases
Each SQL/MX release is supported by specific Release Version Updates (RVUs). An
RVU is a collection of compatible revisions of HP NonStop operating system software
products that are shipped and supported as a unit.
Before downloading a set of SQL/MX SPRs from Scout for NonStop Servers, verify
that the RVU of your system supports that release of NonStop SQL/MX. For more
information, see Table 3-1
on page 3-2.
Table 3-2
lists the RVUs of NonStop systems and the SQL/MX releases that they
support. You can install only one SQL/MX release on a system at a time.
