H06.10 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

7 Loading the H06.10 RVU

This chapter describes how to perform a system load of the H06.10 RVU of the NonStop operating

system into the memory of each processor in an Integrity NonStop NS-series server.

NOTE: For detailed information on performing a system load of an Integrity NonStop NS-series

server, see Chapter 15 in the NonStop NS-Series Operations Guide.

By default, one $SYSTEM is already configured. You can select $SYSTEM, FCDM-Load, SCSI-Load,

or an alternate system volume:

• A load from $SYSTEM attempts to load the system from a disk in group, module, slot 11.1.11

of a NonStop S-series I/O enclosure, by default. The $SYSTEM disks must contain the current

RVU operating system files for the Integrity NonStop NS-series system. Table 7-1 shows the

possible load paths in order of use:
