H06.27 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

in a three-zone configuration, you must install the H06.05 or later H-series RVU or the
T0502H01^AAP or later SPR.
HP recommends upgrading your servers to the H06.05 or later H-series RVU if the servers will be
connected to a long-distance ServerNet Cluster. If the long-distance cluster also contains NonStop
S-series servers, HP recommends upgrading those servers to the G06.28 or later G-series RVU.
H-series RVUs starting with H06.05 contain T9050H02^AQD or later, and G-series RVUs starting
with G06.28 contain T9050G09^AQB or later. These two T9050 SPRs correct a performance
defect that affects Inter-Processor Communication (IPC) long-distance cluster transfers to and from
NonStop servers running H-series RVUs. For details, see the T9050H02^AQD and T9050G09^AQB
softdocs.
Other than the T0502H02^AAP or later SPR, a three-zone long-distance configuration requires
the same SPRs as a two-zone long-distance configuration.
SMF
Beginning in the H06.05 RVU, SMFINTRFCE (T0063) is merged into the SMF (T8472) product.
The merging of these T-numbers can cause a problem if you are installing the SMF bundle
(T8472H01^ACW or later) on a pre-H06.05 system without installing the entire SUT. (The problem
does not occur if you are installing the entire G06.28 or later SUT.)
The problem occurs because the merged version of SMF and the existing T0063 component in
your current (pre-H06.05) RVU both attempt to place the file ZSMFC in the ZSPIDEF subvolume.
This attempt results in a “duplicate file was found” error during the DSM/SCM installation of
T8472H01^ACW or later.
You can avoid this problem by manually removing T0063 before the upgrade, as follows: During
the upgrade operation, DSM/SCM detects the duplicate SMF components and generates a message
indicating that T0063 is already present in your current configuration. DSM/SCM then prompts
you to either retain or remove it. Respond to this prompt by requesting removal of T0063.
Backup/Restore 2 Products Merged Into Single T-Number
Beginning in the H06.05 RVU, the Backup/Restore 2 products are merged into a single T-number,
T0744. When you use DSM/SCM to install the new SUT, the following screen will appear,
prompting you to select the products to retain:
