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. Use the SCF SAVE command:
1. At a TACL prompt, start SCF:
2> SCF
2. List the saved configuration files. At the SCF prompt, enter:
-> FUP INFO $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.CONF*
3. Save the current configuration by using a unique file name. At the SCF prompt, enter:
-> SAVE CONFIGURATION xx.yy
where xx.yy is a number from 0.0 through 99.99.
This example saves the current system configuration to the file $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.CONF1101:
-> SAVE CONFIGURATION 11.1
The configuration file $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.CONF1101 has been created.
If you specify a configuration file that already exists, SCF asks you if you want to replace it. If you
specify that you do not want to replace the existing file, SCF does not overwrite the file. You must
enter another SAVE command to save the current configuration file.
Determine the Current SYSnn
There are several ways to record the current SYSnn subvolume on your system.
You must use the current SYSnn subvolume if you need to fall back to your current RVU. You must
use a different SYSnn subvolume to create a new software revision.
1. At a TACL prompt, enter:
$SYSTEM SUPER 6> sysinfo
SYSINFO - T9268H01 - (01 OCT 2004) SYSTEM \ELI Date 04 May 2005, 22:00:18
COPYRIGHT 2003 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
System name \ELI
EXPAND node number 033
Current SYSnn SYS01
System number 000000
Software release ID H06.03.00
2. Issue a TACL FILEINFO command on $system.*.osimage to list the SYSnn subvolumes on
your system and determine which one is open.
