H06.25 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

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 1.77 or later), subsequent
attempts to downgrade to T0848AAA (iLO version 1.50) using OSM Service Connection will
generate an action failure message indicating that the downgrade operation has failed:
iLo Firmware update failed. Please perform the following steps.
1. Retry the operation.
2. If the operation fails again, reset the iLo and then retry the operation again.
3. If the operation fails a third time, contact your service provider.
Additional information (may be useful to service provider): Firmware Update on Clim: C100251, failed with the
following
error:
comForte SSH client version T9999H06_20Mar2009_comForte_SSH_0085
Downloading firmware (1.50) to iLo ... Failed Error: Firmware download failed.
Error (1): Operation failed.
STOPPED: $Z14N
CPU time: 0:00:00.007
2: Process terminated with fatal errors or diagnostics
Before retrying the downgrade operation, perform a CLIM Rediscovery from the OSM Service
Connection to determine if the iLO firmware has actually been downgraded. The iLO firmware
downgrade operation should have succeeded in most cases even though the OSM Service
Connection Action result indicates a failure result. If, after the CLIM Rediscovery action is completed,
the reported iLO level matches the expected level, then the failure result associated with the
downgrade action can be safely ignored.
DSM/SCM Upgrade Issues/Interoperability SPR Requirements
If you are migrating from an H06.15 or earlier RVU to an H06.18 or later RVU, be aware that
the USERID attributes of all persistent processes configured under $ZZKRN might change from
SUPER.SUPER to NULL.NULL. If this occurs on a system where $SYSTEM is using FCDM disk
enclosures connected by FCSAs in IOAM enclosures, the system might halt when a system load to
the new RVU is attempted. To prevent this problem, you must install DSM/SCM SPR T6031H02^ACJ
or later on your system. See Hotstuff HS03058 for more information.
H06.19
NonStop SQL/MX
The H06.19 RVU introduced the large block support feature (32 KB blocks) for NonStop SQL/MX
tables. This feature requires a new revision of the HP NonStop Remote Database Facility (RDF,
T0346). For systems running H6.19, the RDF version is compatible only with T0346H09^ACC
and later SPRs of RDF. For more information, see the T0346 softdoc.
For the H06.19 RVU, the versions of RDF on primary and backup systems that are supported across
different RVUs are:
