H06.27 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

4 Upgrade Checklist
Use the checklist in “Upgrade Checklist” (page 67) to track your progress as you perform the tasks
required to upgrade to this RVU and the checklists Table 7 and Table 8 (page 67) to record the
information needed when performing these tasks.Table 10 (page 69) lists SPRs that should be
installed before upgrading to this RVU.
CAUTION: The upgrade steps must be performed in the order specified in “Upgrade Checklist”
(page 67).
NOTE: To perform these upgrade tasks, you need the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
If your system has CLIMs, you also need the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and
Management Manual, the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Software Compatibility Reference, and the
NonStop Firmware Matrices.
NOTE: If you are migrating from H06.16 or a later RVU on a system with CLIMs installed, you
can perform an online upgrade of the CLIMs before upgrading the host system. (See the Cluster
I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual for online CLIM software upgrade
procedures.) If you have not already upgraded your CLIMs, you will need to upgrade the CLIMs
offline as described in this procedure.
You might have to update the service processor (SP) firmware on NonStop S-series systems for
IOMF2 PMF customer-replaceable units (CRUs).
