H06.15 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

1 Overview of Installing This RVU
This chapter introduces the basic installation tools and requirements in H-series RVUs, including
installing the site update tape (SUT) for a release version update revision (RVUR). For information
on installing software product revisions (SPRs), see “Using DSM/SCM and NonStop Software
Essentials to Install SPRs” (page 132).
SUT on DVD
Beginning with the H06.06 RVU, the H-series SUT is also available on DVD. For instructions on
installing the SUT from the DVD, see the IPSetup User’s Guide.
WARNING! See the Support Note S12017 (IPSetup on 64-bit Windows causes IE problems) for
information about preventing or recovering from an Internet Explorer issue that can occur on 64-bit
Windows operating systems.
CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Software for This RVU
NOTE: The H06.15 RVU does not support CLIMs. The first H-series RVU that supports CLIMs and
their associated software, firmware, and management tools is H06.16.
Disk Space Requirements
The maximum SUT with all standard products, plus all optional products available to customers,
contains approximately 8 gigabytes (GB) of data, depending on optional products (however,
actual disk space required can be much greater).
Operational Differences Between This RVU and G-series RVUs
For planning purposes, the following list represents known differences.
• TAPEBOOT is not supported in H-series RVUs. You cannot make a system image tape (SIT).
• In H-series RVUs, native compilers and linkers have new names. Therefore, automated scripts
require changing.
• The subvolume for public libraries is SYSnn in G-series RVUs. In H-series RVUs, it is ZDLLnnn.
• In H-series RVUs, the DSM/SCM installation default is to manage OSS files. In G-series RVUs,
the default is not to manage OSS files. For OSS users who request HP manufacturing to install
OSS, it is assumed that OSS is installed and configured.
• In this RVU, tape storage on the NonStop system supplies both Fibre Channel (FC) and SCSI
tape products. Tape devices can be directly connected to a NonStop server in two ways:
◦ Fibre channel tape devices can be connected directly to a Fibre Channel ServerNet
adapter (FCSA) in an IOAM enclosure.
◦ SCSI tape devices can be connected through a T1200 FC to SCSI Converter device
(model M8201R), which enables connection to SCSI tape drives. For installation
instructions, see the M8201R Fibre Channel to SCSI Router Installation and User’s Guide.
For a complete list of supported tape drives, including using SCSI to connect to G-series
legacy tape drives, see the NonStop Storage Overview Manual.
• Compaq TSM is not supported in H-series RVUs. You must use OSM. For many update tasks,
you can still use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
• The OSM Low-Level Link features a new System Load Configuration dialog specifically for
H-series RVUs. This system load and save configuration feature is much more flexible than
