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 2-1

on page 2-2.

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 2-1

on page 2-2.

Table 2-2

lists the RVUs of NonStop systems and the SQL/MX releases supported. You

can install only one SQL/MX release on a system at a time.
