Backing Out the DSM/SCM Revision

This section describes:

•

Products that might have fallback implications. Before falling back or backing out

the revision, review the appropriate product softdocs.

•

Using DSM/SCM to back out the revision.

Products That Might Have Fallback

Implications

Review the H06.09 Release Version Update Compendium and product softdocs to

make sure that your installed products do not have migration implications.

Open System Services (OSS)

•

Back up the OSS configuration database files before falling back. For more

information, see the Open System Services Management and Operations Guide.

•

OSS Large Files support, introduced in the H06.07 RVU, has created fallback

issues. See OSS Large Files on page 2-4.

Storage Management Foundation (SMF)

The record format of the system configuration database sometimes changes between

RVUs and is automatically converted to the new format the first time the system is

loaded. To ensure system configuration integrity, always:

1. Save the system configuration after SMF configuration changes are made.

2. Reload the system from the current system configuration file or the latest version

with SMF changes.

For more information, see the Storage Management Foundation User’s Guide and the

required SMF softdocs.

Safeguard

A new password encryption algorithm was introduced in H06.06. This change has

fallback implications when falling back to a pre-H06.06 RVU, because new passwords

will not be valid on the RVU to which you are falling back. The new passwords must be

expired and users must revert to their previous passwords. For a detailed fallback

procedure, see New Safeguard Attribute Defaults on page 2-17.

Caution. Create a saved version of the configuration before loading a new RVU or revision. If

this step is omitted, you cannot fall back to a previous RVU or revision.
