H06.19 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

4 Upgrade Checklist
Use the checklist in Table 9 to track your progress as you perform the tasks required to upgrade
to this RVU and the checklists Table 7 and Table 8 (page 62) to record the information needed
when performing these tasks. Table 10 (page 64) lists SPRs that should be installed before upgrading
to this RVU.
CAUTION: The upgrade steps must be performed in the order specified in Table 9 (page 62).
NOTE: To perform these upgrade tasks, you need the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
If your system has CLIMs, you also need the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and
Management Manual, the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Software Compatibility Reference and the
NonStop Firmware Matrices.
NOTE: If you are migrating from a H06.17 or later RVU, you can perform an online upgrade
of the CLIMs before upgrading the host system. (See the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration
and Management Manual for online CLIM software upgrade procedures.) If you have not already
upgraded your CLIMs, you will need to upgrade the CLIMs offline as shown in this procedure (step
13 in Table 9 (page 62)).
You might have to update the service processor (SP) firmware on NonStop S-series systems for
IOMF2 PMF customer-replaceable units (CRUs).
