H06.03 Overview Operational Differences Between Systems Running H-Series and G-Series Operational Differences Between Systems Running H-Series and G-Series H-series RVUs differ from G-series RVUs in these aspects: • • • • • • • • • • • In power failures, H-series (TNS/E) systems provide no memory hold-up. Ride through is available only with a site uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or an incabinet UPS for all affected cabinets. TAPEBOOT is not supported on TNS/E systems.
H06.03 Overview • • • Application Differences Between the H-Series and G-Series RVUs SIT Load and Tape Dump and not supported in the OSM Low-Level Link for H-series. Integrity NonStop NS-series processors must be loaded from disk, and processor dumps can be configured in HP Tandem Failure Data System (TFDS) or taken manually through TACL commands. The OSM Low-Level Link is updated to add a new System Load dialog box specifically for H-series.
H06.03 Overview • • • • • Networking Differences Between the H-Series and G-Series RVUs Different command-line and system-level debugging tools are provided in H-series RVUs. All H-series libraries supplied by HP are dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). Shared runtime libraries (SRLs) are not supported. H-series RVUs provide more extensive support for DLLs than G-series RVUs. All TNS/E native code is position-independent code (PIC).
Major New Features for H06.03 H06.03 Overview networking hardware products are still available by connecting an Integrity NonStop server by using fiber-optic ServerNet links from a processor-switch on an Integrity NonStop server to a NonStop S-series I/O enclosure that has IOMF2 components installed.

5 Installation and Configuration Products The H06.
Installation and Configuration Products Migration By default, DSM/SCM H01 PVU is configured to manage OSS files. If you do not have OSS configured and running, you must change the configuration so that OSS files are not managed. If DSM/SCM is set to manage OSS files but OSS is not running, the Apply stops in a restartable state. CNFGINFO now supports new system generation options for DLLs. Creating a system image tape (SIT) is not supported.
Installation and Configuration Products • • • Firmware Updates To manage an H-series target from a G-series host system, you must install the G01/H01 client version and then install the T6031AAP DSM/SCM SPR on the G-series system. You must also install the latest SWID PVU at the same time. The latest DSM/SCM client version is available only on the SUT unless you have ordered new system consoles. For details, see the DSM/SCM User's Guide and the H06.03 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Installation and Configuration Products Halted State Services Millicode H-series systems. For firmware details, see the H06.03 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide. Halted State Services Millicode The halted-state services (HSS) millicode (T0287) on the Integrity NonStop NS-series system replaces the NonStop S-series processor boot millicode.
Installation and Configuration Products • Standard Millicode On Integrity NonStop NS-series servers, you can specify RIDETHRUONLY instead of specifying a specific value. Specifying RIDETHRUONLY causes the operating system to wait indefinitely. For more details, see the SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem. For information on the SCSI-FC protocol supported over Fibre Channel by the FCSA, see Open SCSI for Fibre Channel Controller Integrator's Manual for NonStop NS-Series Servers.
