SMF
ServerNet cluster long-distance option in a three-zone configuration, you must install
the H06.05 or later H-series RVU or the T0502H01^AAP or later SPR.
HP recommends upgrading the Integrity NonStop NS-series servers to the H06.05 or
later H-series RVU if the servers will be connected to a long-distance ServerNet
Cluster. If the long-distance cluster also contains NonStop S-series servers, HP
recommends upgrading those servers to the G06.28 or later G-series RVU. H-series
RVUs starting with H06.05 contain T9050H02^AQD or later, and G-series RVUs
starting with G06.28 contain T9050G09^AQB or later. These two T9050 SPRs correct
a performance defect that affects Inter-Processor Communication (IPC) long-distance
cluster transfers to and from Integrity NonStop NS-series servers. For details, see the
T9050H02^AQD and T9050G09^AQB softdocs.
Other than the T0502H02^AAP or later SPR, a three-zone long-distance configuration
requires the same SPRs as a two-zone long-distance configuration.
SMF
Beginning in the H06.05 RVU, SMFINTRFCE (T0063) is merged into the SMF (T8472)
product. The merging of these T-numbers can cause a problem if you are installing the
SMF bundle (T8472H01^ACW or later) on a pre-H06.05 system without installing the
entire SUT. (The problem does not occur if you are installing the entire G06.28 or later
SUT.)
The problem occurs because the merged version of SMF and the existing T0063
component in your current (pre-H06.05) RVU both attempt to place the file ZSMFC in
the ZSPIDEF subvolume. This attempt results in a “duplicate file was found” error
during the DSM/SCM installation of T8472H01^ACW or later.
You can avoid this problem by manually removing T0063 before the upgrade, as
follows: During the upgrade operation, DSM/SCM detects the duplicate SMF
components and generates a message indicating that T0063 is already present in your
current configuration. DSM/SCM then prompts you to either retain or remove it.
Respond to this prompt by requesting removal of T0063.
