J06.05 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

• As of G06.27, you can manage a J-series target system from a G-series host system. However,
you cannot currently manage a G-series target system from a J-series system.
• When you upgrade the client and server SPRs for DSM/SCM, you must also upgrade the
SWID product (T9298H02) at the same time to avoid a fingerprint or mismatched file problem.
For this RVU, SWID is already installed.
OSBUILD SPR
WARNING! If a J06.03 or later host system is used to perform DSM/SCM builds for a target
system that is running an H-series release prior to H06.12, you must include the appropriate T0431
(OSBUILD) SPR for that target system before performing the build. If this is not done, then the
DSM/SCM Sysgen (OSBUILD) will fail. The build will complete successfully if it is being done for
an H06.12 or later system.
The appropriate T0431 SPRs are:
Target NonStop System RVUSPR
H06.10 and H06.11T0431H01^AAK
H06.09T0431H01^AAH
H06.08T0431H01^AAN
H06.07T0431H01^AAM
H06.05 and H06.06T0431H01^AAL
Any J-series RVU attempting to build an H-series RVU prior to H06.12 must install these SPRs.
DSM/SCM and Public DLLs
DSM/SCM manages and controls the distribution, installation, and activation of public DLLs in
J-series RVUs the same way that it does in H-series RVUs. Public DLLs are installed on the H-series
and J-series target systems in their own subvolume.
To manage OSS files in J-series RVUs, use the T6031H01 or later SPR. The corresponding client
version, Planner Interface, or NonStop Software Essentials must also be installed. For this RVU, the
SPR for the client is T0895V02 for NonStop Essentials and T6031G02/H02 for the Planner
Interface. The DSM/SCM SPR for the server side is T6031G02/H02. The SPR for the NonStop
Software Essentials server is T90894H02 AAA and for the PI server is T6031H02.
DSM/SCM and OSS
When performing a Build/Apply, ensure that the setting of the Manage OSS Files option
matches with your target system. If the target system is not to use OSS, you must uncheck the OSS
files option box before beginning a Build request. If the box is left checked, OSS is included by
the Build request. The OSS root fileset needs to be configured and started before files can be
copied into the OSS file system by DSM/SCM. For OSS users who request HP to install OSS, it is
assumed that OSS is installed and configured. However, the OSS root fileset ($ZPNS) must be in
the started state; otherwise, the Build/Apply fails.
Upgrading the NonStop Software Essentials Client
You can now order 64-bit consoles, which require NonStop Software Essentials. (NonStop Software
Essentials is pre-installed on the 64-bit consoles. See the NonStop Software Essentials Installation
