Back Up System Information
To ensure you always have a backup of your system information, run your system with a mirror of
$SYSTEM. When you are loading a new RVU, you can assure a backup of your system by shutting
down half of $SYSTEM and other important disks, loading the RVU on the other $SYSTEM, verifying
the RVU and then reviving the other $SYSTEM. Alternatively, or in addition to running your system
with a mirror of $SYSTEM and loading the RVU as described, create a disk image of $SYSTEM
and store it in a safe place so you can physically install and boot the backup disk if needed.
Manually Install the NonStop Software Essentials Server Product
HP recommends use of NonStop Software Essentials instead of the Planner Interface for upgrading
your RVU. In addition to NonStop Software Essentials being the go-forward strategy, the Planner
Interface is not supported on 64-bit NonStop consoles.
If you do not have NonStop Software Essentials, see the NonStop Software Essentials Installation
and Quick Start Guide for installation procedures.
