J06.07 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

Failure to do this can result in an error during startup of OSS. This error occurs on systems with
pre-T0585H01.
B. When Upgrading From a J06.05 or Earlier RVU: CLIM Software
CLIMs configured with the CLIM software released with J06.05 or J06.04 are not compatible with
J06.06 and later RVUs. Performing the CLIM upgrade when the processors are halted, as shown
in this procedure, ensures the CLIM and host system will be compatible when you restart the system.
For migrations from J06.05 or J06.04, do not perform an online upgrade to the CLIMs before the
RVU upgrade. Preliminary online CLIM upgrades are only supported for J06.06 and later J-series
RVUs.
2. Halt the Processors
1. Log on to the OSM Low-Level Link.
2. On the toolbar, click Processor Status to display the Processor Status dialog box.
3. Under Processor Status, select all processors.
4. From the Processor Actions list, select Halt.
5. Click Perform action.
6. Click OK when asked “Are you sure you want to do Halts?”
7. When the Action Status box confirms that all processors have halted, close the Processor Status
dialog box.
3. Update HSS Firmware
If necessary, while the processors are halted, update the HSS firmware. If HSS firmware has
changed, hard reset all processor blades as follows:
1. Log on to the OSM Low-Level Link.
2. On the toolbar, click Processor Status to display the Processor Status dialog box.
3. Under Processor Status, select all processors.
4. From the Processor Actions list, select Hard Reset.
5. Click Perform action.
6. Click OK when asked “Do you really want to perform a Hard Reset on the selected
processor(s)?”
7. When the Action Status box confirms that all processors have been reset, close the Processor
Status dialog box.
4. Upgrade the CLIM Software
If you have not upgraded the CLIMs online before performing this RVU upgrade, upgrade the CLIM
software on each CLIM now. See Upgrading CLIM Software Using OSM Low-Level Link in the
Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual.
5. (Optional) Update the CLIM Firmware
If CLIM firmware needs to be updated and you are using the down system method (see “Managing
CLIM Firmware” (page 29)), perform the CLIM firmware update now.
6 Loading the System
If the automatic system load is not successful using one load path, the system load task attempts
to use another path and keeps trying until all possible paths have been used or the system load is
successful. Eight paths are available for loading.
The CIIN file is automatically invoked after the first processor is loaded. The CIIN file contains the
TACL RELOAD * command, which loads the remaining processors.
For details on load paths, see the hardware installation manual for your system.
