The Interactive Upgrade Guide (IUG) simplifies the planning of software and
hardware for RVUs. Select the products and RVUs you use, and the Interactive
Upgrade Guide automatically displays customized migration instructions and lists
new features. Starting in G06.25, the Interactive Upgrade Guide 2 is available. You
can select either Interactive Upgrade Guide from NTL.
•
The Managing Software Changes manual explains TRM2000 and provides
information about system migration and installation processes, software product
revision (SPR) analysis, and resources for investigating new RVUs and SPRs.
•
Scout for NonStop Servers is a Web-based SPR analysis and delivery tool. You
can access Scout through HP NonStop eServices Portal at
https://onepoint.nonstop.compaq.com/buildpage.asp. Online help for using Scout is
available on the Scout Web site.
•
The DSM/SCM Planner Interface provides a facility for viewing and printing
softdocs and release documents on the SUT after you receive new software into
the archive. For more information, see the DSM/SCM User’s Guide.
System Console Requirements
A system console is an HP-approved personal computer used to run maintenance and
diagnostic software for NonStop S-series and Integrity NonStop NS-series servers.
New system consoles run either Windows XP Professional with service pack 2 or
Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and are preconfigured with the required HP and third-
party software, including OSM. The DSM/SCM client is also installed and configured.
Updating System Consoles (Optional)
If you have ordered new system consoles for H06.08, the latest client-side software is
already installed. If not, the H06.08 RVU requires the HP NonStop System Console
(NSC) Installer CD, S7X-SWV1/HNSC-SWV1, Update 11. See the NonStop System
Console Installer Guide for detailed information on installing the system console
software. If you are using a PC other than a system console for DSM/SCM tasks, you
must download the DSM/SCM client and install it separately (it is not included on the
installer CD).
If you are migrating a G-series legacy system console to use OSM, certain client-side
system requirements must be met. See the NonStop System Console Installer Guide
and the OSM Migration and Configuration Guide for PC system requirements and
information on migrating to OSM.
Note. Although TSM is on the system console CD, it does not support the Integrity NonStop
NS-series server. Only OSM supports the Integrity NonStop NS-series server.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is now supported on both NonStop S-series and Integrity
NonStop NS-series system consoles.
Carbon Copy is no longer on the Installer CD. Microsoft NetMeeting, the recommended
replacement for dial-in support, is already installed on the system console.
