H06.20 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

With SQL/MX 2.3.4 installed on any node in a mixed-node environment, accessing any MX or
MP objects on a J or H-Series “downrev node” will fail with errors 1002 and 1100/1102/1103.
If T1050H23^AMC (SQL/MX MXCMP) and T0611H23^AMC (SQL/MX MODULES) are installed
over SQL/MX 2.3.4, then accessing MX and MP objects on G-Series “downrev node” will fail
with error 8016. A “downrev node” is any node running SQL/MX versions 2.3.3 or lower. To
prevent this, install these SPRs on all H-series RVUs less than or equal to H06.20 and J-series RVUs
less than or equal to J06.09:
• T1050H23^AMN (SQL/MX MXCMP)
• T0611H23^AML (SQL/MX MODULES)
NOTE: See Hotstuff HS03051 for more information.

Back Up System Information
To ensure you always have a backup of your system information, run your system with a mirror of
$SYSTEM. When you are loading a new RVU, you can assure a backup of your system by shutting
down half of $SYSTEM and other important disks, loading the RVU on the other $SYSTEM, verifying
the RVU and then reviving the other $SYSTEM. Alternatively, or in addition to running your system
with a mirror of $SYSTEM and loading the RVU as described, create a disk image of $SYSTEM
and store it in a safe place so you can physically install and boot the backup disk if needed.
Manually Install the NonStop Software Essentials Server Product
HP recommends use of NonStop Software Essentials instead of the Planner Interface for upgrading
your RVU. In addition to NonStop Software Essentials being the go-forward strategy, the Planner
Interface is not supported on 64-bit NonStop consoles.
If you do not have NonStop Software Essentials, see the NonStop Software Essentials Installation
and Quick Start Guide for installation procedures.
