CLIMs to System Consoles or Changing the DHCP, DNS, or BOOTP Server from System
Consoles to CLIMs, as appropriate.
3. Disconnect the CLIMs that are installed on the affected system.
If Falling Back to the H06.03 or H06.04 RVU
If you are falling back to the H06.03 or H06.04 RVU, 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 155).
Halt the Processors
To halt the processors:
1. Log on to the OSM Low-Level Link.
2. On the toolbar, click Processor Status to display the Processor Status dialog box.
3. In the Processor Status box, select all processors.
4. From the Processor Actions list, select Halt.
5. Click Perform action.
6. Click OK when asked “Are you sure you want to do Halts?”
7. When the Action Status box confirms that all processors have halted, close the Processor Status
dialog box.
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 155).
In the Halted State, Fall Back to Previous CLIM Firmware (Optional)
If you are falling back to previous CLIM firmware using the down system method, use the Down
System CLIM Firmware Update Tool. For more information, see the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP)
Configuration and Management Manual and the online help available from within the tool.
In the Halted State, Reimage the CLIMs
NOTE: Only reimage the CLIMs if you need to revert their software to an older version. Check
the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Software Compatibility Reference to determine which versions of
the CLIM are compatible with the target RVU.
Reimaging CLIMs must be performed by a NonStop authorized service provider. Authorized service
providers can refer to Reimaging or Downgrading a CLIM for information about reimaging CLIMs.
H-series RVUs do not support Gen8 CLIMs.
In the Halted State, Prepare the CLIMs
1. For each CLIM, set the IP address of eth0 via the iLO serial console.
