Managing Firmware in a NonStop Blade Complex Overview of Installing the H06.08 RVU The following terms briefly describe the NonStop Blade Complex, which is composed of two or three NonStop Blade Elements and their associated logical synchronization units (LSUs): Term Description Processor element (PE) A single Integrity NonStop NS-series microprocessor with its associated memory. NonStop Blade element Two or four PEs contained within a single processor (blade) complex enclosure.
Managing Firmware in a NonStop Blade Complex Overview of Installing the H06.08 RVU You use an OSM guided procedure, launched by performing the Firmware Update action from the Blade Complex, to update the firmware for each Blade Element in the complex. On Integrity NonStop NS-series servers, the bootstrap code is part of the NonStop Blade Element firmware and is, therefore, not on a disk.
Overview of Installing the H06.08 RVU Managing Firmware in a NonStop Blade Complex NonStop Blade Element at a time. OSM notifies you to reset and then reintegrate the updated NonStop Blade Element with the running NonStop Blade Elements. OSM also alerts you if a reset action will result in the loss of a logical processor or in the loss of fault tolerance for a logical processor, and advises you on appropriate actions. After a reset action, reintegration begins automatically.
Overview of Installing the H06.08 RVU • • Managing Firmware in a NonStop Blade Complex In the Firmware Update Status screen, you can see the firmware modules updating. Some firmware modules take longer than others. The Continue button is dimmed until all of the modules have completed.

Installation, Migration, and Fallback Overview of Installing the H06.
Overview of Installing the H06.08 RVU Installation, Migration, and Fallback H06.
2 H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations See the Readme file and the appropriate softdocs for the latest information on any migration or configuration steps.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations Kernel-Managed Swap File (KMSF) T0747). To use these tools, applications must be compiled using the H06.07 or later versions of the TNS/E native compilers. The SPR levels of these compilers are: H06.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations NonStop SQL/MX Partitioned unstructured files cannot be migrated to an ESS without first performing a migration of all partitions of the unstructured file set to a mod-14 extent boundary. Partitioned unstructured files must use the same extent size and maximum extents for all partitions because positioning is dependent upon a consistent size for each of the partitions.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations OSS Large Files Before installing NonStop SQL/MX, review the instructions for preinstalling and installing NonStop SQL/MX provided in the SQL/MX Installation and Management Guide. OSS Large Files Starting with the H06.06 RVU, OSS files larger than the previous 2 GB limit (large files) are supported. The OSS file system and utilities are able to handle file sizes up to 1 terabyte.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations • • DSAP/DCOM Format 2 OSS files smaller than the 2 GB limit are converted to Format 1 when opened, so that the files remain usable. The file size cannot exceed the Format 1 limit. Format 2 OSS files larger than the 2 GB limit are no longer accessible through the OSS file system and utilities, and DP2 returns an error for any operation other than purging the files.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations Backup and Restore 2 Fallback Fallback The H06.06 and later versions of DSAP/DCOM (T9543H01^ABH) are large OSS file safe, but pre-H06.06 versions are not. If you fall back from H06.06 or later to an earlier RVU, HP recommends that you install T9543H01^ABH during the fallback. Note. An application that is “large file safe” causes no data loss or corruption when it encounters an OSS file larger than 2 GB.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations OSS Database Files If a Format 2 file does cause a program to fail, the programmer can do one of the following: • • Change the program to accept Format 2 files.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations Migration Migration If you migrate from the H06.04 RVU, HP strongly recommends that you install DP2 fallback SPR T9053H02^AQM before installing the H06.08 RVU, in case a fallback becomes necessary. The DP2 fallback SPR is included on H06.05 and later SUTs. Fallback To fall back, you must install the previous SPRs for the OSS products and for DP2.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations • • OSS Unautomated Configuration and Startup For the OSS environment, certain configuration files require symbolic links from the OSS file system. For more information, see the OSS Management and Operations Guide. Run the inetd process immediately after loading the OSS product files into the OSS environment. The inetd process listens for connections on certain Internet sockets.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations • • SANMAN and SNETMON PSTATE provides a snapshot of the status of a running process. It provides everything that TACL STATUS, DETAIL does plus information about all files open by the process and what I/Os are outstanding. WHOHAS provides a list of processes that have open files. WHOHAS gives the same information as FUP LISTOPENS but can report on all files, devices and processes in the system.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations TMF 3.3 For more information on new commands and options, see the Interactive Upgrade Guide 2, and the TFDS Programmer’s Guide. TMF 3.3 The HP NonStop Transaction Management Facility (TMF) 3.3 was introduced in the H06.05 RVU. If you do not use any new configurable features after migrating to TMF 3.3, falling back to the RVU from which you migrated is not a problem. If you use the new TMF 3.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations Visual Inspect Visual Inspect Restart $IMON Required If you use Visual Inspect, you must restart the Inspect Monitor process ($IMON) every time you restart the system. Upgrading Visual Inspect Client to Version 3.x If you are currently running Visual Inspect client version 2.x, upgrading to version 3.x is optional.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations Backup/Restore 2 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.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations TNS/R Compilers and Tools on H-Series Systems TNS/R Compilers and Tools on H-Series Systems Use One Platform for G-Series and H-Series Development Beginning with H06.05, the G-series TNS/R compilers and development tools are supported in H-series RVUs.

H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations New Safeguard Attribute Defaults New Safeguard Attribute Defaults The default values of certain attributes have been changed in the H03 version of Safeguard and Standard Security in order to increase the “out of box” password security. Customers who do not wish to adopt the new defaults can follow the normal migration steps for Safeguard. Customers using Standard Security alone are impacted by this change.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations Migration in a Safeguard Environment Migration in a Safeguard Environment The following procedure is intended to handle any unexpected failures that might occur during Safeguard migration. The procedure preserves the user/password database, which is necessary to restore the original system user/alias database. 1. Use VPROC to determine the current versions of: • • • • OSMP OSMON SAFEART SAFECOM 2. Back up current Safeguard files ($*.SAFE.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations Migration With Standard Security (Safeguard Not Installed) 3. The system administrator must set a grace period for users to change their expired passwords. 4.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations Safeguard Support for OSS Access Control List Safeguard Support for OSS Access Control List The H03 version of Safeguard and Standard Security are enhanced to support the OSS Access Control List (ACL) feature. A new security group, SECURITY-OSS-ADMINISTRATOR, and a new Safeguard configuration attribute, AUDIT-CLIENT-OSS, are provided to support this feature.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations Fallback with Standard Security (Safeguard Not Installed) password must be less than or equal to 8 bytes. If the password exceeds this length, the system administrator must create a new password of length less than or equal to 8 bytes and set the PASSWORD-COMPATIBILITY-MODE attribute to ON. After installing the previous version of Safeguard, the system administrator must do the following: 1.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations Default Floating-Point Type Change symbols. The H06.08 versions of the compilers provide a command line option to specify to specify whether or not preemptable object code is generated.
H06.08 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations C H06.08 and Later Fallback C H06.08 and Later Fallback Beginning in the H06.08 RVU, the TNS/E C compiler (T8164ABH for c89, T0549AAE for CCOMP), C Standard Headers (T8645H02), and the C run-time libraries (T8432H02 for the C Run-Time Library, T1269H02 for CRE) provide a subset of new features from the new ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard. Applications that use the new run-time library features will not run on RVUs prior to H06.

6 Running ZPHIRNM During the Build/Apply phase, DSM/SCM places product files in their subvolumes with temporary (fabricated) file names so that new file names do not conflict with the file names of currently running programs. This section describes how to run the ZPHIRNM program on the target system to: • • Rename the files that currently have actual file names with fabricated names. These files become obsolete when the new files are renamed.
Back Up (Copy) Files in the $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP Subvolume (Best Practice) Running ZPHIRNM • If ZPHIRNM is run in PREVIEW mode, ZMODGP is run in TRIAL mode. However, any errors in the new and changed files will not be discovered in preview or trial mode because ZPHIRNM in preview mode does not actually rename the files. Therefore, ZMODGP will not be run against the same files as when the real file activation is done. Back Up (Copy) Files in the $SYSTEM.
Stop Applications Running ZPHIRNM Stop Applications Before running ZPHIRNM: 1. Stop DSM/SCM if it is still running. For example: > VOLUME $dsmscm_vol.ZDSMSCM > Run STOPSCM STOP CNFGINFO server process $ZPHC STOP DSM/SCM Pathway system $YPHI PATHCOM $YPHI;SHUTDOWN !,WAIT $Z02H: TCP TCP-H, STOPPED $Z02H: TCP TCP-T, STOPPED STOP DSM/SCM Alternate EMS Collector $ZPHI where $dsmscm_vol is the DSM/SCM volume. 2. Stop all other applications, except for TMF and the OSS file system.
Back Up the Spooler Control Files Running ZPHIRNM For more information on draining the spooler, see Support Note S99086, NSK Spooler—Migration and Draining Instructions and Section 1 and Appendix H in the Spooler Utilities Reference Manual. Back Up the Spooler Control Files While the spooler environment is closed, back up the spooler control files to render a known database from which you recover in case of a catastrophic spooler failure.

Steps for Running ZPHIRNM Running ZPHIRNM Steps for Running ZPHIRNM 1. At a TACL prompt, enter this command from the DSM/SCM subvolume: > RUN ZPHIRNM $vol.SYSnn where: • • $vol specifies the default current system load volume, usually $SYSTEM. SYSnn specifies the subvolume to which you just applied software. The SYSnn subvolume must match the activation SYSnn that you specified earlier during the Build/Apply phase. 2. When asked if you want to use a log file with the session, enter Y. 3.
Running ZPHIRNM • Verify That ZPHIRNM Ran Successfully If a nonfatal error occurs, ZPHIRNM issues an error message and attempts to restore the subvolume it is currently processing to its original state. A nonfatal error is one that affects processing only for a single subvolume. ° If the subvolume is successfully restored, ZPHIRNM continues with the next subvolume. ° If the subvolume cannot be restored, ZPHIRNM issues an additional error message and continues with the next subvolume.
