Check or Alter the CONFTEXT File Before Installing

an H06.05 SUT

ZMODGP is a TACL script that makes changes to the generic-process

definitions in the system configuration database. When you use the ZMODGP

script, you do not need to hard code new generic process definitions directly

into the $ZCDB process (T6586, Configuration Services).

Check or Alter the CONFTEXT File Before Installing an H06.05

SUT

The SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE should be specified as NSE-A:

ALLPROCESSORS:

SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE NSE-A;

Also, check the CONFTEXT file to check that these entries are present. They are

needed for the implicit DLLs:

SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_INIT_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^INIT^FILES;

SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_CORE_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^CORE^FILES;

SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_FS_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^FS^FILES;

SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_MCP_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^MCP^FILES;

SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_ETC_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^ETC^FILES;

This example shows a CONFTEXT file for H06.05:

$TEMP CONFIGXX 2> type conftext

ALLPROCESSORS:

SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE NSE-A;

SYSTEM_VOLUME_SUBVOL $SYSTEM.SYS00;

SYSTEM_LIBRARY_CODE_FILES TANDEM^LIBRARY^CODE^FILES;

SYSTEM_PROCESS_CODE_FILES TANDEM^PROCESS^CODE^FILES;

SYSTEM_PROCESS_LIBRARY_FILES TANDEM^PROCESS^LIBRARY^FILES;

STANDARD_MICROCODE TANDEM^STANDARD^MICROCODE;

MICROCODE_FILES TANDEM^MICROCODE^FILES;

FILES_TO_COPY_TO_NEW_SYSTEM TANDEM^FILES^TO^COPY;

SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_INIT_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^INIT^FILES;

SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_CORE_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^CORE^FILES;

SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_FS_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^FS^FILES;

SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_MCP_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^MCP^FILES;

SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_ETC_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^ETC^FILES;

FORMATTER_TEMPLATE_FILES TANDEM^FORMATTER^TEMPLATE^FILES;

INITIAL_COMINT_INFILE \$SYSTEM.configxx.CIIN;

Managing Microcode and Firmware for

Integrity NonStop NS-Series Servers

You must manage all microcode and firmware within your system properly, updating it

as necessary when new versions become available. Failure to do so can result in a

Note. Trained HP service providers will update the firmware when they install any field-

replaceable units (FRUs). Firmware, unless otherwise noted, is considered customer-

updateable.
