Preparation, Planning, and Migration
• If you are migrating from a G-series to an H-series RVU, before you begin migrating
applications, contact your HP representative to analyze your applications and identify specific
modules and program components that require changes for migration to an H-series RVU.
• For the physical, electrical, and environmental specifications used by HP professional service
providers for site preparation, see the planning guide for the server you are running. Planning
guides can be found in the HP NonStop Technical Library (NTL) located in the Business Support
Center (BSC).
• For an H-series overview, see Section 1 of the H06.03 Release Version Update Compendium,
which includes these topics:
• For descriptions of NonStop BladeSystem hardware and the ServerNet SAN and how to plan
and configure the site in preparation for installation of the system, see the NonStop BladeSystem
Planning Guide.
• For changes in H-series installation, see the H06.23 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.
• For a browser-based guide to upgrading from a previous G-series or H-series RVU to the
current RVU, see the Interactive Upgrade Guide 2.
• For the changes that are required to migrate a program from a G-series RVU to an H-series
RVU, see the H-Series Application Migration Guide, which covers these migration paths:
◦ Migrating G-series TNS programs to the TNS environment on an H-series RVU
◦ Migrating G-series (TNS/R) native programs to the TNS/E native environment on an
H-series RVU
• For compatibility and interoperability between the Integrity NonStop NS-series server and the
NonStop S-series server, specific software product revisions (SPRs) are required. See the
H-series overview page in the Interactive Upgrade Guide 2.
• For interoperability of SQL/MX releases between systems running G-series and those running
H-series RVUs, see the SQL/MX Database and Application Migration Guide.
