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.

OSM Low-Level Link highlights include: • A System Load dialog box provides the ability to: ◦ Load the system from an alternate system load configuration that was previously saved on the system console. After a configuration is saved, you can load the system using mirrored disks without reviving. ◦ Save a system configuration on the system console for future use.
PAGE 21
• As of G06.27, you can manage an H-series target system from a G-series host system. • 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. 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 include the appropriate T0431 (OSBUILD) SPR for that target system before performing the build.

need to hard code new generic process definitions directly into the $ZCDB process (T6586, Configuration Services). Check or Alter the CONFTEXT File Before Installing This RVU SUT The processor type (SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE) is specified in the CONFTEXT file. It is one of the values NSE-A or NSE-P. IMPORTANT: For NonStop NS2000-series and NonStop NS2200-series systems, see the J06.nn Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.
PAGE 24
Backing Out the DSM/SCM Revision If you encounter a problem with a SUT refresh that cannot be resolved, you can back out the DSM/SCM revision. Table 1 maps the major tasks involved with falling back. Table 1 Tasks and Tools for Backing Out to the Previous SYSnn To Perform This Task... Use This Tool... Documented in This Chapter... 1. Submit a backout request. DSM/SCM Target Interface (ZPHITI) Chapter 11: “Backing Out the DSM/SCM Revision” 2. Return the firmware to previous versions. (Not recommended.
PAGE 25
Managing Microcode and Firmware When you install a new RVU, you must ensure you are running the current firmware and microcode versions and upgrade those products, if necessary. The current firmware versions and upgrade procedures are given in Chapter 2: “Managing Microcode and Firmware” Installation, Migration, and Fallback Many products have special considerations for installation, migration, and fallback, which you should be aware of before installing the new RVU.
PAGE 26
2 Managing Microcode and Firmware NOTE: Trained HP service providers will update the firmware when they install any field-replaceable units (FRUs). Firmware, unless otherwise noted, is considered customer-updateable. You must manage all microcode and firmware within your system properly, ensuring compatible versions are installed. Failure to do so can result in a wide range of system problems, from intermittent faults to partial or complete system outages.
PAGE 27
To determine whether your system has processor switches, IOAMs, or VIO enclosures, see the planning guide for the system. • • “Updating ME Firmware” ◦ Updating ME Firmware on a Processor Switch ◦ Updating ME Firmware on an I/O Adapter Module ◦ Updating ME Firmware on a VIO Enclosure “Updating ME FPGA” For information on using OSM Low-Level Link to perform ME firmware updates, see the online help available within the application.
PAGE 28
Updating ME Firmware on an I/O Adapter Module (IOAM) There is maintenance entity (ME) firmware on the ServerNet Switch Board object in each I/O Adapter Module. NOTE: In the OSM Low-Level Link, a ServerNet Switch Board is represented as an ME object. To use the OSM Service Connection to update the ME firmware for IOAMs: 1. Locate the ServerNet Switch Board on one Internal ServerNet Fabric. 2. 3. 4. 5.
PAGE 29
Use the OSM Service Connection to check and (if necessary) update the ME FPGA for all processor switches, IOAMs, and VIO modules just as you did when updating ME firmware, but choose the ME FPGA Update action instead. For information on using the OSM Low-Level Link to update ME FPGA, see the online help available within the application. Managing NonStop Blade Complex Firmware Different server types have different blade firmware requirements.

or NS1000 Server service procedure located in the Support and Service section of the NonStop Technical Library: • Use the procedure described in the “Updating Blade Element Firmware in an NS2000, NS2000T, NS2000ST, or NS1200 Server” section to update firmware on an NS3000AC server. • Use the procedure described in the “Updating Blade Element Firmware in an NS1000 Server” section to update firmware on an NS5000T or NS5000CG server.
PAGE 31
• In the Firmware Update Status screen, you can see the firmware modules updating. Some firmware modules take longer than others. The Continue button is dimmed until all of the modules have completed. • Every time you run the Blade Complex Firmware Update procedure, a new XML log file is created on the system console in the directory C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\HP\OSM\pdklogs. The XML log file does not update automatically as the procedure runs.

h) i) Click OK when asked “Are you sure you want to do a Power Cycle All Processors?” When the Action Status box confirms that the power cycle has successfully completed, close the dialog box. NOTE: It should take approximately five minutes for all processors to complete Power On initialization. 3) c. Load (coldload) the system with this RVU.
PAGE 33
NOTE: HP recommends that you reset and reintegrate each NonStop Blade Element one at a time. (The Reset action power cycles the NonStop Blade Element.) Resetting all NonStop Blade Elements at the same time will take four processors offline. Do not manually power cycle the processors. Doing so will leave the NonStop Blade Elements and NonStop Blade Complex in an incomplete state. The shadow firmware image that has been updated is now the running flash image.

on and after hardware or firmware errors, and is re-downloaded to initialize the adapter and to accept downloaded firmware from the processor. The AAN SPR is available for this T number. • ◦ The flash firmware (T0612G06) contains version information about the operational firmware located in the FCSA FLASH memory. Flash firmware runs the FCSAs used for system load so that the processor boot millicode can read the system-load disk.
PAGE 35
Table 4 shows the H-series ServerNet adapters that are supported in this RVU. Note that both the FCSA and the G4SA are supported in G-series RVUs as well. For product levels, see the NonStop Firmware Matrices document at: www.hp.com/go/nonstop-docs.
PAGE 36
Managing SWAN and SWAN 2 Concentrator Firmware Both SWAN and SWAN2 are supported in H-series RVUs and OSM is used to update the firmware. SCF can also be used. For procedures to update the firmware, see either the SWAN Concentrator Installation and Support Guide or the SWAN 2 Concentrator Installation and Support Guide. NOTE: Firmware levels for each component are located in the NonStop Firmware Matrices document.

3 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations See the Readme file and the appropriate softdocs for the latest information on any migration or configuration steps. Considerations in this chapter are categorized according to the RVU at which they were introduced. H06.03 Kernel-Managed Swap File (KMSF) Servers running H-series RVUs require more swap space than do NonStop S-series servers. The default is 512 megabytes for each processor.
PAGE 39
Installing OSS Products Not Managed by DSM/SCM Use COPYOSS or PINSTALL or both to install products that are not managed by DSM/SCM. • If any OSS files are managed by DSM/SCM, use PINSTALL on the remaining pax archives. See the OSS Management and Operations Guide for a description of PINSTALL use or the pinstall(1) reference page in the OSS Shell and Utilities Reference Manual. • If no OSS files are managed by DSM/SCM, use COPYOSS for all of the OSS pax archives in the ZOSSUTL subvolume.
PAGE 40
PSTATE (T0705H01) and WHOHAS (T0706H01) PSTATE and WHOHAS are two tools that are owned and supported by the Global NonStop Solution Center (GNSC). As of H06.03 and G06.26, these two tools are delivered to customers on the SUT. • PSTATE provides a snapshot of the status of a running process. It provides everything that TACL STATUS, DETAIL does plus information about all files open by the process and what I/Os are outstanding. • WHOHAS provides a list of processes that have open files.
PAGE 41
C/C++ Default Floating-Point Type Change Beginning in the H-series RVUs, the default floating-point format used by the C/C++ compiler is changed. In G-series, the default is Tandem floating-point format; on H-Series, the default IEEE format. The two formats are incompatible; an application must consist of either all Tandem format modules or all IEEE format modules. Certain HP-supplied libraries use the default IEEE format. If user programs also use the default format, there is no problem.
PAGE 42
in a three-zone configuration, you must install the H06.05 or later H-series RVU or the T0502H01^AAP or later SPR. HP recommends upgrading your servers to the H06.05 or later H-series RVU if the servers will be connected to a long-distance ServerNet Cluster. If the long-distance cluster also contains NonStop S-series servers, HP recommends upgrading those servers to the G06.28 or later G-series RVU. H-series RVUs starting with H06.05 contain T9050H02^AQD or later, and G-series RVUs starting with G06.
PAGE 43
Since the new T-number T0744 is replacing the previous T27nn T-numbers, click Continue without selecting any of the T27nn T-numbers. DSM/SCM will remove those T-numbers from your configuration and install T0744. TNS/R Compilers and Tools on H-Series Systems Use One Platform for G-Series and H-Series Development Beginning with H06.05, the G-series TNS/R compilers and development tools are supported in H-series RVUs.
PAGE 44
For more information about support for G-series tools on H-series systems, see the H-Series Application Migration Guide or the individual manuals for the tools. TNS/R SRLs Consolidated Into a Single T-Number The TNS/R cross compiler SRLs are consolidated into a single T-number, T8888 (named “TNS/R cross compilers SRLs”). This T-number contains all of the runtime libraries and object files that make up the cross compiler environment.
PAGE 45
For reporting problems with any of these SRLs in H-series systems, you should specify the new T-number T8888. The fix will be available via T8888. If you do report a problem against the old T-number (for example, T8432 for ZCRTLSRL), the fix will still be available via T8888. H06.06 OSS Large Files Starting with the H06.06 RVU, OSS files larger than the previous 2 GB limit (large files) are supported. The OSS file system and utilities are able to handle file sizes up to 1 terabyte.
PAGE 46
DSAP/DCOM Migration The DSAPDDL file is changed in the product revision of DSAP/DCOM delivered in the H06.06 and later RVUs (T9543H01^ABH), resulting in changes to the work file layout. You must use the DSAPDDL file distributed with T9543H01^ABH when running ENFORM queries on the work file created using this SPR. The DSAPDDL file for T9543H01^ABH contains these changes to the directory-record structure: • The field named fifth is changed from type binary unsigned to type binary 32 unsigned.
PAGE 47
Guardian applications that use file attributes such as file format and maximum size are likely to be affected. These programs might fail when unexpected values are returned (such as Format 2 if only Format 1 is expected). If a Format 2 file does cause a program to fail, the programmer can do one of the following: • Change the program to accept Format 2 files.
PAGE 48
Safeguard Password Encryption The H03 and later versions of Safeguard and Standard Security improve the cryptology of the user passwords in the NonStop server environments. If PASSWORD-ALGORITHM is DES or PASSWORD-ENCRYPT is OFF, the password (DES-encrypted or in clear text, respectively) is written to both the existing L/USERID and the new L/USERAX files. This approach allows for direct fallback to prior versions of Safeguard and Standard Security.
PAGE 49
1. 2. 3. 4. Before starting Safeguard, the system administrator must log on with the old super ID password. The old password is the one used before the algorithm was changed to HMAC256. Start Safeguard. The system administrator must set a grace period for users to change their expired passwords.
PAGE 50
These compiler versions provide the required command line options for running the Code Profiling utilities. Starting in the H06.09 RVU, the Profile Merge Utility (T0747) and Code Cover Utility (T0746) are included on the SUT and on the cross-compiler CD. Previously, the Profile Merge Utility was delivered only on the SUT. Safeguard Support for OSS Access Control List The H03 and later versions of Safeguard and Standard Security are enhanced to support the OSS Access Control List (ACL) feature.
PAGE 51
Safeguard Longer Password Length Starting with the H04 version of Safeguard, the maximum allowed Safeguard password length is increased from 8 bytes to 64 bytes. Migration Users migrating to a version of Safeguard and Standard Security that supports longer passwords should be aware that two new attributes are introduced: PASSWORD-COMPATIBILITY-MODE and PASSWORD-MAXIMUM-LENGTH. The default setting for PASSWORD-COMPATIBILITY-MODE is ON, meaning that new passwords are limited to 8 bytes.
PAGE 52
Compiler Default Change for Object Code Generation Prior to the H06.08 RVU, the native C/C++, COBOL, and pTAL compilers generated preemptable object code by default. Beginning in H06.08, the compilers generate non-preemptable object code by default. Non-preemptable object code is more efficient than preemptable object code and results in faster compilation and execution. Preemptable object code is required only when building DLLs that provide preemptable symbols. The H06.
PAGE 53
Migration Considerations If a Maintenance Switch or UPS has been configured in a prior version of OSM, the OSM Access Community Names will not be available. OSM will attempt to access it with the default values of “public” for read access and “private” for Write access. If these are not the values with which the device has been configured, the device will be displayed as “Down.” To recover, do one of the following: • Stop monitoring, and restart monitoring with the correct values.
PAGE 54
Fallback Embedded spaces in passwords are not supported in pre-H06.09 RVUs. Any user with a password that contains embedded spaces will be unable to login after fallback. Fallback considerations are: • Pre-H06.08 RVUs do not support the Safeguard longer password feature. Therefore, when falling back to a pre-H06.08 RVU, users must first follow the steps described under “Fallback in a Safeguard Environment” (page 48). • When falling back to H06.
PAGE 55
Pathway/iTS 1.1 Pathway iTS/1.1, introduced in the H06.10 RVU, supports the following SCOBOL statements: • DIALOG-BEGIN • DIALOG-SEND • DIALOG-ABORT • DIALOG-END These statements enable users to send more than 32000 bytes of data to the same Pathway server using a context-sensitive communication model. These new features are provided by the PathTCP4 (T0700) component of Pathway/iTS. Migration Pathway/iTS 1.1 includes both PathTCP3 and PathTCP4. PathTCP3 is unchanged.
PAGE 56
H06.12 DSM/SCM and OSBUILD 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. See “DSM/SCM and This RVU” (page 20) for a list of the required SPRs. H06.
PAGE 57
Migrating From TS/MP 2.0 After the system image is built using TS/MP 2.3, TS/MP 2.0 users need to remove #ROUT from Persistent Manager ($ZZKRN) and configure #ZACS before starting TS/MP 2.3 Migrating From TS/MP 2.1 If you ordered and received TS/MP 2.1 on a prior H-series RVU, you will automatically receive TS/MP 2.3 instead of TS/MP 2.1 when you receive an H06.14 or later SUT. H06.15 Compiling C++ Programs to Run on RVUs Earlier Than H06.15 Objects compiled by the H06.
PAGE 58
When migrating to AF_UNIX Release 2: • If you start $ZPLS in a startup script using the SCF START SERVER command, and failure to start $ZPLS causes the script to be aborted and steps following the failing one to be omitted, modify the script to remove the command to start $ZPLS. NOTE: • In AF_UNIX Release 2, any changes to the #ZPLS attributes will have no effect. If you use the STARTOSS utility to start OSS processes, modify the target-volume.ZOSSINS.
PAGE 59
CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) The CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) is introduced in the H06.16 RVU. CLIM is a rack-mounted HP ProLiant class server that provides connectivity between the NonStop host system and either the network or the storage devices. For CLIM upgrade procedures, see the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual. For fallback procedures, see Chapter 13. CLIMs with software associated with H06.16 are not compatible with H06.17 or later RVUs.
PAGE 60
DSM/SCM Upgrade Issues/Interoperability SPR Requirements If you are migrating from an H06.16 or earlier RVU to an H06.17 or later RVU, be aware that all the DSM/SCM target systems should be upgraded before the DSM/SCM host is upgraded. The snapshot file created by T6031 H02 ACL has changed and cannot be read by earlier versions of DSM/SCM. See Support Note S09036 for more information.

5 Preparing to Upgrade the Server Software (Pre-installation Tasks) This chapter describes tasks that are needed before updating the system console and receiving the SUT. Back Up Important Files Before you upgrade, create tape back-ups of critical host applications and files. Back Up NonStop SQL/MP HP recommends that you always have a current backup copy of the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ZZSQLCI2 file in case you need to initialize SQL later if you have problems with your new RVU during or after installation. 1.
PAGE 67
If you are upgrading from H06.16, create a subvolume to store the backups, then rename each backup file after you create it. The default file name for the backup is backupgz. Rename these as you create them. For example: 1. CLIMBKUP N100251 $DATA1.BCKH0616 2. FUP RENAME $DATA1.BCKH0616.BACKUPGZ, $DATA1.BCKH0616.N100251 3. CLIMBKUP N100282 $DATA1.BCKH0616 4. FUP RENAME $DATA1.BCKH0616.BACKUPGZ, $DATA1.BCKH0616.N100282 For upgrades from H06.
