H06.27 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

NOTE: HP recommends that you use the latest OSM SPRs, irrespective of what was shipped on
your SUT.
OSM Client-Based Components
OSM client-based component upgrades are delivered on the NonStop System Console Installer
DVD. HP recommends upgrading to the very latest console software available.
The OSM client-based products are:
• OSM Low-Level Link (T0633), which is used to provide down-system support, allowing you to
communicate with your HP NonStop server even when the NonStop Kernel operating system
is not running. In addition to performing the system loads, it is used to configure VIO and
other modules, configure CLIMs, and update CLIM software. For information about other
features and functionality, see the OSM Configuration Guide and the OSM Low-Level Link
online help.
• OSM Console Tools (T0634), which installs a variety of tools, including the Down System
CLIM Firmware Update Tools and the NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS Configuration
Wizard. For detailed information about these tools and other OSM Console Tools features,
see the OSM Configuration Guide
Using DSM/SCM and NonStop Software Essentials With This RVU
NonStop Software Essentials and This RVU
The HP NonStop Software Essentials product is a software installation and management tool for
all NonStop servers running H-series RVUs as of H06.09. NonStop Software Essentials uses
DSM/SCM server software and provides a replacement for DSM/SCM Planner Interface functions
as well as certain Host Maintenance Interface functions that is more secure, easier to use, and
overcomes other shortcomings of DSM/SCM. It coexists with DSM/SCM; you can use either
NonStop Software Essentials or the DSM/SCM Planner Interface for tasks in which there is
overlapping functionality. For more information, see the NonStop Software Essentials Installation
and Quick Start Guide and the NonStop Software Essentials User's Guide.
These rules apply:
• The NonStop Software Essentials server (T0894) and NonStop Software Essentials client
(T0895 or T0996) components installed on a system must both be the same NonStop System
Essentials release (1.0 or 2.0).
• The SUTs for H06.24 RVU or and all later J-series RVUs contain the T0894H02 NonStop
Software Essentials server. The SUTs for J06.13 and earlier RVUs did not provide the NonStop
Software Essentials server, so you must install the T0894H02 SPR from Scout for these RVUs.
• You cannot use the DSM/SCM Planner Interface on systems with 64-bit NonStop system
consoles. If you have a 64-bit NonStop system console but do not have the NonStop Software
Essentials server installed on your system, you must manually install the server as described
in the NonStop Software Essentials Installation and Quick Start Guide.
