Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual (H06.16+, J06.05+)

NOTE:
• Performing multiple CLIM updates in parallel is optional and helps in reducing the total time
for upgrading all the CLIMs.
• CLIM software updates (excluding reboot) take about 10-15 minutes.
The steps for upgrading are:
1. “Enabling the FTP Port on the Console” (page 137)
2. “Backing up the CLIM Configuration Files” (page 137)
3. “Installing the new CLIM Software on the System Console” (page 137)
4. “Identifying the Target Software” (page 138)
5. “Creating a CLIM Upgrade Form” (page 138)
6. Depending on your configuration, performing one or more of:
• “Upgrading Storage CLIMs” (page 139)
• “Upgrading IP CLIMs” (page 143)
• “Upgrading IB and Telco CLIMs” (page 145)
Enabling the FTP Port on the Console
Before upgrading the CLIM software, enable the FTP port on the console. The way you perform
this step depends on whether or not a firewall package is configured on the console. If a firewall
package is not configured, use the standard Windows method to enable this port. If a firewall
package is configured, see the system console operations personnel.
Backing up the CLIM Configuration Files
Before upgrading the CLIM software, save your configuration files onto the NonStop host by using
the Backup Tool described in “Managing the CLIM Configuration Preservation” (page 114). The
Backup Tool archives configuration files, log files, and trace files.
Installing the new CLIM Software on the System Console
For the Telco CLIM, if you have an INS software upgrade DVD, follow the same instructions for
that DVD.
NOTE: The Telco CLIM may require both a CLIM software upgrade and INS software upgrade.
The INS software upgrade does not include CLIM software upgrade.
CLIM software is delivered on a DVD or, for J06.08 and H06.19 and later RVUs, as a
downloadable file from Scout for NonStop Servers. You must load the software from the CLIM DVD
Installation Software or from NonStop Scout onto the system console, then install it from the system
console onto the CLIM.
For the CLIM DVD:
1. Insert the CLIM DVD into the CD/DVD drive on the system console.
2. In Windows, click the CD/DVD drive symbol.
3. Click the setup icon, then follow the prompts to load the CLIM software on the system console.
Scout for NonStop Servers:
1. Follow the download procedures provided in Scout for installing a self-extracting SPR (.exe)
on T0853.
NOTE: Downloading the file takes approximately 15 minutes. The process does not provide
a status of the operation during this time. Please wait until it completes.
