H06.12 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

DSM/SCM and the H06.12 RVU
• The DSM/SCM H02 PVU (T6031H02) is supported for Integrity NonStop NS-series servers
only.
• A new type of hardware platform and selectable option, TNS/E, for Integrity NonStop
NS-series servers has been added to the Planner Interface (PI) screens. See the DSM/SCM
User’s Guide for configuration information.
• By default, the DSM/SCM H02 PVU is configured to manage OSS files. Check that OSS is
configured and started if DSM/SCM is set to manage OSS files. If not, the Apply can fail.
• CNFGINFO supports new system generation options for dynamic-link libraries (DLLs).
• Creating a SIT is not supported in H-series RVUs.
• Similar to G-series RVUs, you might have to update both the client and server-side SPRs.
For H06.12, the PI screen displays G02/H02 for the client side and H02 for the server side.
• As of G06.27, you can manage an H-series target system from a G-series host system.
However, you cannot currently manage a G-series target system from an H-series host.
• When you upgrade the client and server SPRs for DSM/SCM, you must also upgrade the
SWID product (T9298H02) at the same time to avoid a fingerprint or mismatched file problem.
For the H06.12 RVU, SWID is already installed.
WARNING! If an H06.12 or later host system is used to perform DSM/SCM builds for a target
system that is running a release prior to H06.12, you must install the appropriate T0431 (OSBUILD)
SPR for that target system before performing the build. If this is not done, then the DSM/SCM
Sysgen (OSBUILD) will fail. The build will complete successfully if it is being done for an H06.12
or later system.
The appropriate T0431 SPRs are:
Target System RVUSPR
H06.10 and H06.11T0431H01^AAK
H06.09T0431H01^AAH
H06.08T0431H01^AAN
H06.07T0431H01^AAM
H06.05 and H06.06T0431H01^AAL
Any H06.12 or later RVU attempting to build an RVU prior to H06.12 must install these SPRs.
DSM/SCM and Public DLLs
In H-series RVUs, DSM/SCM manages and controls the distribution, installation, and activation
of public DLLs on Integrity NonStop NS-series servers similarly to the way DSM/SCM handles
public SRLs on NonStop S-series systems. Public DLLs are installed on the H-series target systems
in their own subvolume.
Starting with the G06.18 RVU, a new configuration file, A7CINFO, is introduced for managing
OSS files. To manage OSS files in H-series RVUs, use the T6031H01 or later PVU. The
corresponding client version or Planner Interface must also be installed. For H06.12, the PVU
for the client is T6031G02/H02 and the PVU for the server side is T6031H02. (In H-series RVUs,
the T6030 PV has been obsoleted and does not appear on the SUT.)
DSM/SCM and OSS
When performing a Build/Apply, ensure that the setting of the Manage OSS Files option matches
with your target system. If the target system is not to use OSS, you must uncheck the OSS files
