H06.18 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

on installing the system console software. If you have NonStop Software Essentials installed on a
different HP SIM CMS, update it there.
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: Starting with S7X-SWV2/HNSC-SWV2, comForte MR-Win6530 replaces OutsideView
as the terminal emulator shipped with the console software. It is launched by the OSM Low-Level
Link version T0633AAT (or later) for Startup TACL and Event Stream windows. MR-Win6530 must
be installed on the system console before installing OSM Low-Level Link version T0633 (or later).
Older versions of the OSM Low-Level Link continue to invoke OutsideView, which is no longer
shipped on new consoles or as part of the software package as of H06.11 and later.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is supported on NonStop system consoles.
Carbon Copy is no longer on the Installer DVD. Microsoft NetMeeting or Remote Desktop, the
recommended replacements for dial-in support, are already installed on the system console.
See the NonStop System Console Installer Guide for instructions on upgrading your system console
software to the latest available versions.
This guide shows you how to upgrade the RVU using either the DSM/SCM Planner Interface or
NonStop Software Essentials. If you are using a 64-bit console, you must use NonStop Server
Essentials. If the NonStop Server Essentials server is not installed, see the NonStop Software
Essentials Installation and Quick Start Guide for installation procedures.
Using OSM With This RVU
OSM Server-Based Components
For H06.18, the server-based OSM SPR is T0682H02^ABU. This version may be superseded by
a later version.
NOTE: Beginning with T0682H02^AAZ, the OSM Service Connection Suite requires you to
install JRE version 1.5.0_11 or later. However, these JRE versions are incompatible with OSM
server versions older than T0682H02^AAY (for NS-series and BladeSystems) and T0682H02^AAV
(for S-series servers). Therefore, all NonStop servers also managed by this console must be running
one of those OSM server versions or later.
Highlights for OSM support include:
• Guided procedures for replacing processor switch and IOAM components. OSM also provides
documented service procedures for replacing Fibre Channel disk module (FCDM), NonStop
Blade Element, and LSU components.
• Firmware updates for:
NonStop Blade Element (firmware update guided procedure located under Blade Complex
object in the OSM Service Connection)
◦
◦ Maintenance Entity (ME) firmware on ServerNet Switch Boards, located in processor
switches, IOAMs and VIO logic boards
◦ Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter (FCSA)
◦ Gigabit 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA), located under the G4SA SAC object
◦ Fibre Channel disk drives and Environmental Monitoring Units (EMUs), located within
FCDMs
