12 Loading the Previous RVU and Resuming Normal
Operations
This chapter describes how to perform a system load of the previous RVU of the NonStop operating
system into the memory of each processor in a NonStop BladeSystem.
Alerts
Before performing a system load:
• Before halting the processors, stop running applications, including TMF.
NOTE: To stop TMF, at a TACL prompt, enter:
• Do not close the System Startup dialog box while startup is in progress. If you attempt to close
the dialog box, a message dialog box appears to alert you that the system startup process
will be stopped if you continue.
• If you stop a system startup before it has finished, the state of your system will be unpredictable.
You might need to perform another system startup to enable the system to resume normal
operation.
• If you must stop the system startup process, click Abort. (The abort process should take effect
within 30 seconds.)
• For detailed information on performing a system load of a NonStop BladeServer , see Chapter
15 in the NonStop Operations Guide.
• List your saved configuration files by entering:
SCF FUP INFO $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.CONF*
You might want to refer to this list later in the procedure.
Before Halting the Processors
Revert the following firmware as necessary to the firmware on the SYSnn subvolume from which
you will coldload the system:
• FCSA firmware
• G4SA firmware
• ServerNet Adapter firmware
• ServerNet Clustering firmware
• NonStop Server Blade firmware (HSS, DISKBOOT, and ISP1040 are installed from the NonStop
System Console DVD; PAL/SAL, EFI, and iLO 2 are installed through an FCO)
• c7000 enclosure firmware (Onboard Administrator firmware installed through FCO, if
necessary)
• c7000 ServerNet Switch firmware
• c7000 ServerNet Switch FPGA firmware
• S-series interoperability firmware (Service Processor and Service Processor B)
• IOAM firmware (ME and ME FPGA)
• SWAN/SWAN 2 Concentrator firmware
• SS7 Controller firmware (Carrier Grade BladeSystems)
