J06.04 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

1 Overview of Installing the J06.04 RVU
This chapter introduces the basic installation tools and requirements in J-series RVUs, including
installing the site update tape (SUT) for a release version update revision (RVUR). For information
on installing software product revisions (SPRs), see Appendix A, Using DSM/SCM to Install SPRs.
SUT on DVD
The J-series SUT is also available on DVD. For instructions on installing the SUT from the DVD, see
the IPSetup User’s Guide.
CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Software on DVD
If your system has CLuster I/O Modules (CLIMs) installed, the CLIM software is available on a
separate DVD. Before installing CLIM software on your NonStop system, you must install the software
on the system console as described in the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management
Manual.
Disk Space Requirements
The maximum SUT with all standard products, plus all optional products available to customers,
contains approximately 8 gigabytes (GB) of data, depending on optional products (however,
actual disk space required can be much greater).
Operational Differences Between the J06.04 and H-series RVUs
There are no known operational differences between H-series and J-series RVUs. Operational
differences between G-series and J-series RVUs are the same as for G-series and H-series; for that
information, see the H06.nn Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Investigating a J-Series RVU
Several resources are available to help you plan for installing a J-series RVU:
• Product softdocs and the README file.
• The J06.nn Release Version Update Compendium provides highlights of the new products and
features for each H-series RVU. It also discusses the effect these changes have on installation
and configuration, operations and management, data files, applications, and networks.
• The Interactive Upgrade Guide 2 (IUG2) simplifies the planning of software and hardware
for J-series RVUs. Select the products and RVUs you use, and the Interactive Upgrade Guide
2 automatically displays customized migration instructions and lists new features.
• The Managing Software Changes manual explains TRM2000 and provides information about
system migration and installation processes, software product revision (SPR) analysis, and
resources for investigating new RVUs and SPRs.
• Scout for NonStop Servers is a Web-based SPR analysis and delivery tool. You can access
Scout through HP NonStop eServices Portal at
https://onepoint.nonstop.compaq.com/buildpage.asp. Online help for using Scout is available
on the Scout Web site.
• The DSM/SCM Planner Interface provides a facility for viewing and printing softdocs and
release documents on the SUT after you receive new software into the archive. For more
information, see the DSM/SCM User’s Guide.
