J06.05 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

4 Upgrade Checklist
Use the upgrade checklist in “Upgrade Checklist” (page 35) to track your progress as you perform
the tasks required to upgrade to this RVU and the checklists in Table 9 and Table 10 (page 35) to
record the information needed when performing these tasks.
CAUTION: The upgrade steps must be performed in the order specified in this chapter.
NOTE: To perform these upgrade tasks, you need the NonStop System Console (NSC) 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, NonStop
Firmware Matrices.
NOTE: If you are migrating from a J06.06 or later RVU, 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 shown in this procedure.
You might have to update the service processor (SP) firmware on NonStop S-series systems for
IOMF2 PMF CRUs.
