H06.27 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

C Copying the DSM/SCM, NonStop Software Essentials,
and SWID SPRs from the SUT Using NonStop Software
Essentials
CAUTION: The NonStop Software Essentials server product (T0894H02) has been on the SUT
since H06.2x. If you are preparing to install a SUT for H06.2x or an earlier H-series RVU, you will
not find the NonStop Software Essentials SPR on the SUT. Instead, you must use Scout to install the
latest orderable NonStop Software Essentials server SPR on your system when you copy the
DSM/SCM and SWID SPRs from the SUT.
NOTE:
• In order for the procedure described in “Copy (RESTORE) the DSM/SCM Server, NonStop
Software Essentials Server, and SWID Product Versions from the SUT to Disk” (page 173) to
display the NonStop Software Essentials client screens needed to perform it, you must already
have a functioning and interoperating set of NonStop Software Essentials server and client
products installed on your system.
• You must copy the SWID SPR at the same time you copy the DSM/SCM SPR from the SUT to
your system. (DSM/SCM uses SWID to determine if a file has changed by a method called
fingerprinting. If an existing file has a different fingerprint from a newer file, the newer version
replaces the existing file.)
• After you copy the DSM/SCM, NonStop Software Essentials server, and SWID SPRs from the
SUT as described in “Copy (RESTORE) the DSM/SCM Server, NonStop Software Essentials
Server, and SWID Product Versions from the SUT to Disk” (page 173), install the latest version
of the NonStop Software Essentials client product as described in “Install the Latest Version
of the NonStop Software Essentials Client” (page 179).
• If your system uses the DSM/SCM Planner Interface instead of NonStop Software Essentials,
see “Installing SWID, DSM/SCM PVU, and Planner Interface (PI) Client Software ” (page 180).
Alerts
• If you are migrating to H06.23 or an earlier H-series RVU, the NonStop Software Essentials
server SPR (T0894H02) will not be present on the SUT. Instead, you must use Scout to install
the T0894H02^AAB SPR to your host system as described in “If Migrating to H06.23 or an
Earlier RVU, Install the Latest NonStop Software Essentials Server SPR Using Scout” (page 177).
• For instructions on identifying the product versions of the NonStop Software Essentials,
DSM/SCM, and SWID SPRs currently installed on the host system and on the SUT, see
“Determine the Product Version of NonStop Software Essentials Server on the Host System
and the SUT” (page 172), “Determine the Product Version of DSM/SCM on the Host System
and the SUT” (page 172), and “Determine the Product Version of SWID on the Host System
and SUT” (page 172).
• Save the current configuration database. (See “Save the Current Configuration File
(CONFxxyy)” (page 71)).
• Keep the startup TACL windows, the EMS Event Stream window, and the NonStop Software
Essentials client interface windows open whenever you are performing a Build/Apply.
Otherwise, Build/Apply errors will result.
• If you receive an error indication in the Request Status window, you might have to reinitiate
the Build/Apply. See the DSM/SCM Messages Manual to learn the nature and severity of
the problem.
