About This Document This guide describes: • Upgrading the initial H06.22 RVU through the use of site update tape (SUT) refreshes, if necessary. • Falling back to a previous SYSnn. This document might be revised between DVD publications. A more recent version of this document might exist online in the HP Integrity NonStop H-Series collection of the NonStop Technical Library (NTL) at http://www.hp.com/go/nonstop-docs. Supported Release Version Updates (RVUs) This manual supports the H06.22.
The 645210-003 edition contained the following changes: • Introductory microcode and firmware information in “Managing Microcode and Firmware” (page 25) has been updated to reference the NonStop Firmware Matrices for compatible firmware versions. • “Managing CLIM Firmware” (page 35) is updated to reference the NonStop Firmware Matrices for compatible firmware on CLIM components and to use the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual for upgrade instructions.
MAXATTACH Italic Letters Italic letters, regardless of font, indicate variable items that you supply. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example: file-name Computer Type Computer type letters indicate: • C and Open System Services (OSS) keywords, commands, and reserved words. Type these items exactly as shown. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example: Use the cextdecs.h header file. • Text displayed by the computer.
• Planning guides for specific hardware platforms provide information for planning and configuring the installation of NonStop servers. • The NonStop Operations Guide provides information for operating and maintaining the NonStop server. • Hardware installation manuals for specific hardware platforms provide detailed instructions and checklists for installing a NonStop NS-series server.
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 With NonStop Software Essentials to Install SPRs” (page 151). SUT on DVD Beginning with the H06.06 RVU, the H-series SUT is also available on DVD.
• 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 previous save configuration options used in G-series RVUs. The mirrored system disk can have an independent adapter and location from the primary system disk.
hardware models and other requirements, as well as the latest available console software, see the NonStop System Console Installer Guide. Updating NonStop System Console Software (Optional) HP recommends that you always update console software to the versions available on the latest NonStop System Console Installer DVD. NOTE: DVD.
NOTE: HP recommends that you use the latest OSM SPRs, irrespective of what was shipped on your SUT. OSM Client-Based Components OSM client-based component upgrades are delivered on the NonStop System Console Installer DVD. HP recommends upgrading to the very latest console software available.
DSM/SCM and This RVU CAUTION: Before you install the SUT, you must copy the SUT versions of the DSM/SCM server and client products to your host system. When you copy the server and client SPRs for DSM/SCM, you must also upgrade the SWID product (T9298H02) at the same time to avoid a fingerprint or mismatched file problem.
OSBUILD SPR 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. 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. The appropriate T0431 SPRs are: SPR Target NonStop System RVU T0431H01^AAK H06.10 and H06.
For instructions on installing NonStop Software Essentials, see the NonStop Software Essentials Installation and Quick Start Guide. Upgrading the DSM/SCM Client (Planner Interface) and the T6031H02 PVU To upgrade the DSM/SCM client, if you did not order new system consoles, the DSM/SCM client version must be downloaded from the ZDSMSCM subvolume.
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 information about J-series systems, see the J06.nn Software Installation and Upgrade Guide. NOTE: Tape_Label_Processing is controlled by the Storage Subsystem ($ZZSTO) ALTER SUBSYS command. The CONFTEXT file directive TAPE_LABEL_PROCESSING gets overridden by the Storage Subsystem settings.
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. If problems occur, firmware can be downgraded at this time.) OSM Service Connection OSM Service Connection online help 3.
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. These considerations are described in Chapter 3: “Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations”.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Updating Blade Complex Firmware for NS14000 Series Systems and NS16000 Series Systems You can update firmware one NonStop Blade Element at a time or all slices (Blade Elements) at the same time. However, reset and reintegration is performed on one NonStop Blade Element at a time. OSM notifies you to reset and then reintegrate the updated NonStop Blade Element with the running NonStop Blade Elements.
NonStop Blade Complex Firmware Update for Migrations From H06.03 or H06.04 to This RVU CAUTION: Do not power cycle any NonStop Blade Element until the firmware update is complete. If you interrupt or stop the procedure before the firmware update has completed, the NonStop Blade Element firmware will be left in an incomplete and inconsistent state. Also, if there is an interruption during the firmware update, do not reset or power cycle the NonStop Blade Elements.
1) 2) 3) Using the OSM Service Connection and the Blade Complex Firmware Update guided procedure, complete the dialog boxes and update the shadow firmware on each NonStop Blade Element. NOTE: OSM will preselect all the firmware that it detects as down-rev. NOTE: Update all NonStop Blade Elements in the complex at this time. Using the Switch Blade Element Firmware Images dialog box, select NO. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other NonStop Blade Complexes.
Managing ServerNet Adapter Firmware This manual covers only the ServerNet adapters supported on H06.14 and later RVUs: • Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter (FCSA) • Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA) • 6763 Common Communication ServerNet Adapter (CCSA) • Token Ring ServerNet adapter (TRSA) To update firmware for ServerNet adapters connected to legacy IOMF2 CRUs, see the latest G-series Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.
• G4SA. The OSM Service Connection displays G4SA firmware attributes and action under the G4SA SAC object. To check or update G4SA firmware, locate and expand the G4SA, then select its subcomponent G4SA SAC object. In the following example, the firmware attributes show that the current firmware Version is the same as the available Default File Version; no update is necessary. If the Compare State was Down-rev, you would use the Firmware Update action to update the firmware: • CCSA.
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.
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.
NOTE: See Support Note S12023 (OSM application issues with Administrator user on NSC) for instructions on preventing authentication failures from occurring on NonStop System Consoles when using these OSM tools: Down System CLIM Firmware Update, Update HSS and Copy HSS file actions in OSM Low-Level Link, and connecting to a peer NSC from the NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS Configuration Wizard or the CLIM Boot Service Configuration Wizard.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 47). • When falling back to H06.
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.
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 19) for a list of the required SPRs. H06.
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.
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.
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. NOTE: Because H06.16 is the earliest H-series RVU to support CLIMs, you cannot fallback CLIMs on an H06.16 RVU system to an earlier H-series RVU.
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. H06.18 Falling Back to iLO Firmware T0848AAA After updating the iLO firmware to T0848AAB or later (iLO version 1.
H06.20 This section describes changes to default behavior introduced by new features at H06.20. For a complete list of new features, migration issues and fallback considerations, see the H06.20 Release Version Update Compendium. SQL/MX 2.3.4 Requires JDBC T2 Driver JDBC T2 Driver must be installed on H06.20 and later H-series RVUs to support SQL/MX 2.3.4. SQL/MX 2.3.4 requires interoperability SPRs. See “Install Node Interoperability SPRs” (page 74) for more information. H06.
iTP WebServer 7.2 Migration and fallback considerations exist for iTP WebServer 7.2. See the H06.21 Release Version Update Compendium for more information. Expand Enhancements. Fallback considerations exist for the Expand enhancements. See the H06.21 Release Version Update Compendium for more information. H06.22 This section provides information only for new features and changes that affect the software installation and upgrade steps for H06.22. See the H06.

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.
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.
Verify System Processes Check Processor Status 1. Log on to the OSM Low-Level Link. The OSM Low-Level Link appears. 2. Select Processor Status. The Processor Status dialog box appears. The Processor Status for all processors should be Executing NonStop OS. Check System Components 1. Log on to the OSM Service Connection. See the OSM Configuration Guide if you have any problems accessing OSM. After the browser session begins, you can close the original IE window.
The System Status window indicates the overall health of a system by the color of the system icon. From the Summary menu, select System Status. Yellow indicates a possible system problem. For example: 2. Double-click to expand the object further to identify components that require attention (yellow or a yellow arrow) or immediate service (red). CAUTION: If a red triangle appears over an object, or if any component is highlighted in red, contact your service provider. 3. 4.
Verify the State of the Internal ServerNet Fabric To verify that the paths and connections within the ServerNet system area network (ServerNet SAN) are properly functional: 1. Log on to the OSM Service Connection. 2. In the tree pane, double-click the Fabric Group. 3. For each Internal ServerNet Fabric, double-click the fabric. 4.

You will run merge_whatis after using ZPHIRNM. If you have OSS configured to run the OSS merge_whatis utility automatically, you can ignore running merge_whatis. Recovery for Problems Installing This RVU SUT or SPRs If you receive an error indication in the Requests, Status, or EMS Events windows, you might have to reinitiate the Build/Apply. See the DSM/SCM Messages Manual to determine the nature and severity of the problem.
8 Running ZPHIRNM During the Build/Apply phase, DSM/SCM places product files in their subvolumes with temporary (fabricated) file names so that new file names do not conflict with the file names of currently running programs. This chapter describes how to run the ZPHIRNM program on the target system to: • Rename the files that currently have actual file names with fabricated names. These files become obsolete when the new files are renamed.
You might need previous versions for reference or fallback: • DNSBAK • DNSBOOT • DNSCACHE • DNSHOSTS • DNSLOCAL • DNSREV • DNREVBAK • HOSTS • NETWORKS • PORTCONF • PROTOCOL • RESCONF • SERVICES • SMTPCONF The file names of NonStop TCP/IPv6 that reside on the SUT are: • ztcpip.smplhost • ztcpip.smplprot • ztcpip.smplnetw • ztcpip.smplport • ztcpip.smplresc • ztcpip.smplserv Stop Applications Before running ZPHIRNM: 1. Stop DSM/SCM if it is still running.
Drain the Spooler (Optional) Use the SPOOLCOM;SPOOLER,DRAIN command to perform an orderly shutdown of the Spooler. Failure to do so can cause problems during a warm start of the Spooler. Before executing the SPOOLCOM;SPOOLER,DRAIN command: 1. Use the SPOOLCOM;COLLECT $collector-process, LISTOPENS command to identify processes that currently have jobs open. 2. Use the SPOOLCOM;JOB (STATE PRINT) command to determine which jobs are currently printing.

When Upgrading From an H06.15 or Earlier RVU: Modify OSSINFIL When upgrading from an H06.15 or earlier RVU, before halting the processors, you must remove the SERVER #ZPLS entry from the OSS subsystem maintenance file OSSINFIL on all systems with OSS installed. The simplest way to do this is to use the TEDIT utility to change the SERVER #ZPLS entry to a comment, as follows: TEDIT $SYSTEM.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Log on to the OSM Low-Level Link. On the toolbar, click Processor Status to display the Processor Status dialog box. Under Processor Status, select all processors. From the Processor Actions list, select Hard Reset. Click Perform action. Click OK when asked “Do you really want to perform a Hard Reset on the selected processor(s)?” When the Action Status box confirms that all processors have been reset, close the Processor Status dialog box. 5.
5. Click Start System. The system load begins. If you want to stop the load process, click Abort in the System Load dialog box. You might wait up to 30 seconds before the abort takes effect. CAUTION: Do not close the System Load dialog box while startup is in progress. If you attempt to close the dialog box, an OSM message box indicates that the system startup process will be stopped if you continue. If you stop a system startup before the operation finishes, the state of your system cannot be predicted.
One window opens with one CNSL and one CLCI session in it. NOTE: If you are using OSM Low-Level Link version T0633G07^AAT or later, all four windows are contained within a single MR-Win6530 session window (as opposed to the four separate OutsideView sessions launched by earlier versions of the Low-Level Link.) Also, MR-Win6530 hides the inactive Startup TACL and Event Stream windows, displaying only the active ones.
6. Monitor the system startup process. Messages indicating the progress and completion of the system load, as well as the reload of processors indicated in the CIIN file, appear in these display locations on the system console. When the system load is complete (the operating system is loaded successfully into the memory of processor 0 or processor 1), the Detailed box on the System Load dialog box displays: SYSTEM STARTUP COMPLETE, NSK RUNNING ON PROCESSOR n 7.
2. 3. Close the Processor Status dialog box. Verify that the NonStop operating system is working properly: a. Check the startup TACL window to verify that the startup scripts completed successfully. b. Check the startup event stream window and the startup TACL window for error messages. 4. Close the System Startup dialog box. For more information on system loads, the NonStop Operations Guide. 7.
10 Resuming Normal Operations Revive the Down Half of the Mirrored Disk If you shut down half of $SYSTEM and other mirrored disks before applying the new RVU, revive the disks now. For instructions on how to bring up the downed half of a mirrored disk, see the Guardian User's Guide. Start User and System Applications You can now start your application software. Follow your site’s procedures for executing the system configuration and startup (command) files to accomplish this.

11 Backing Out the DSM/SCM Revision This chapter describes: • Products that might have fallback implications. Before falling back or backing out the revision, review the appropriate product softdocs. • Using DSM/SCM to back out the revision. NOTE: • You cannot revert a NonStop NS16200 system to the H06.11.03 RVU or to an RVU prior to H06.11.01. • You cannot revert a NonStop NS1200 system to an RVU prior to H06.12. • You cannot revert a NonStop NS14200 system to an RVU prior to H06.13.
Longer Passwords Starting with the version of Safeguard released with the H06.08 RVU, the maximum allowed password length is increased to 64 characters. This change has fallback implications when falling back to pre-H06.08 RVU, as users passwords longer than 8 characters will be unable to logon. See “Safeguard Longer Password Length” (page 50). Before Backing Out the Revision 1. Confirm that the Spooler is active and not 100 percent full. a.

13 Falling Back on the CLIMs, Loading the Previous RVU, and Resuming Normal Operations This chapter describes how to perform a system load of the previous RVU and how, as needed, to revert the CLIM software and/or firmware to the previous versions. NOTE: If your NonStop system does not have CLIMs installed, disregard the sections in this chapter that describe CLIM fallback procedures. Alerts Before performing a system load: • Before halting the processors, stop running applications, including TMF.
software adds approximately one hour for each CLIM to the process of loading the system on the previous RVU. NOTE: When you fall back, you must restore CLIM configuration files saved from the same RVU as the NonStop system RVU to which you are falling back. The procedure for falling back on the CLIM and loading the NonStop system on the previous RVU is: 1. Before halting the processors: a. Prepare to fall back to the previous CLIM firmware. b.
Following are preparatory steps for downgrading to a previous version of the CLIM software. 1. Obtain the password for the root user ID on the CLIM. 2. Obtain a password for the super.super TACL user ID. 3. Obtain the DNS name of each CLIM iLO. The default name is system-climname-ILO, for example, mysys-n100251–ILO. 4.
NOTE: For detailed information about the appearance of and instructions for using the wizard you have installed on your NonStop system console, see the online help for that wizard. c. Using the wizard, determine whether the CLIMs are being used for DHCP, DNS, and BOOTP services. If they are, check the listed IP addresses to see if they correspond to the CLIMs you are downgrading. For information on how to use the wizard, see the online help for the wizard you are using.
Software MAC Address Termination Info: 0 : Unspecified In this example, the netmask is 255.255.255.0 and there is no gateway configured. c. d. Use OSM Low-Level Link to connect to the CLIM and obtain PCI Slot configuration information. Make note of all values. If Falling Back to the H06.15 RVU or an Earlier RVU Modify OSSINFIL If you are falling back to an H06.
While the Processors are Halted While the processors are halted, perform these tasks. In the Halted State, Power Cycle Processors If Falling Back to the H06.03 or H06.04 RVU If you are falling back to the H06.03 or H06.04 RVU, then while the processors are halted, power cycle the processors as described in step 6b under “Reverting to H06.03 or H06.04 From This RVU” (page 149).
Be sure to select the CLIM type for the type of CLIM you are configuring from the Mode of operation pull-down menu. After entering the required information in the dialog box, press Configure.

A Using DSM/SCM With NonStop Software Essentials to Install SPRs NOTE: Before performing the steps in this appendix install NonStop Software Essentials by using the procedures in the NonStop Software Essentials Installation and Quick Start Guide. SPRs provide new features between RVUs or correct software problems from a previous RVU. This appendix describes tools available for investigating SPRs and instructions on how to install SPRs.
SPRNOTES You can use SPRNOTES to research an SPR before installing it. Read the installation instructions and considerations documented in the SPRNOTE, which includes: • A summary of SPR contents • Lists of SPRs required for this SPR • Installation considerations, including tasks to perform before and after running DSM/SCM • A summary of problems corrected • A summary of known problems remaining Keep a copy of each SPRNOTE and record the status of the related SPR.

Run INSTALL^TEMPLATES to create updated template files: tacl>install^templates newres newnres $system.ztempl NOTE: Running this macro permanently changes the location of the EMS template files. DSM/SCM creates new EMS templates when it creates a new SYSnn.
Before Halting the Processors If you are falling back to the H06.03 or H06.04 RVU, then before halting the processors, update the shadow firmware on each NonStop Blade Element, as described under“Reverting to H06.03 or H06.04 From This RVU” (page 149) . Halt the Processors 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. If necessary, log on to OSM Low-Level Link. On the toolbar, select Processor Status to open the Processor Status dialog box. Select the processors to be halted. From the Processor Actions list, select Halt.
B Using DSM/SCM With the Planner Interface to Install SPRs SPRs provide new features between RVUs or correct software problems from a previous RVU. This appendix describes tools available for investigating SPRs and instructions on how to install SPRs. CAUTION: Do not apply any SPR to an RVU without first verifying (by using Scout for NonStop Servers, for example) that the SPR can be installed on that specific H-series RVU. See the H06.
• A summary of problems corrected • A summary of known problems remaining Keep a copy of each SPRNOTE and record the status of the related SPR. For example, record whether the SPR is not applicable, is already installed, or needs to be installed. Install SPRs Using DSM/SCM With the Planner Interface The steps for using DSM/SCM to install SPRs are basically the same as those for installing a SUT. Save the Current Configuration First, save the current system configuration database CONFIG file.
