About This Document
This guide describes:
• Upgrading the initial J06.08 RVU through the use of SUT refreshes, if necessary.
• Falling back to a previous SYSnn.
Supported RVUs
This manual supports the J06.08.00 RVU and all subsequent J06.08.nn RVUs unless otherwise
noted.
Intended Audience
This guide is written for operations staff and support personnel and requires a working knowledge
of Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008, OSM client and server components, system
console software, NonStop Software Essentials, DSM/SCM, Target Interface (ZPHITI), and ZPHIRNM
applications.
New and Changed Information in This Edition
This edition includes these changes:
• Added references to Support Note SN 12023 (OSM application issues with Administrator
user on NSC).
• New art in the steps for loading a system
• Changes to falling back to previous CLIM software in “Falling Back on the CLIMs, Loading
the Previous RVU, and Resuming Normal Operations ” (page 108).
Changes are indicated by change bars.
New and Changed Information in Previous Editions
Change bars for previous editions have been retained in the current edition.
The 584300-011 edition contained these changes:
• Support for the DHCP DNS configuration wizard
• Support for NonStop Software Essentials
• Changes to privilege requirements for running SSOCLIM after RVU and CLIM fallback
The 584300-010 edition contained additional information about USERID attributes for persistent
processes in “DSM/SCM Upgrade Issues/Interoperability SPR Requirements” (page 35), which is
marked with change bars.
The 584300-009 edition contained the following changes:
• All acronym definitions were moved to the glossary. Hyper links are provided from the acronym
to the term in the glossary.
• Stronger language regarding the importance of the NonStop Firmware Matrices was added
to “Managing Microcode and Firmware” (page 23) and to “Managing CLIM Firmware”
(page 29).
• The“Managing Server Blade Firmware” (page 25) was reorganized, with firmware levels
moved to the NonStop Firmware Matrices.
• The command syntax for stopping TMF in the Alerts section of “Falling Back on the CLIMs,
Loading the Previous RVU, and Resuming Normal Operations ” (page 108) was corrected.
• A note was added to “Reimage the CLIMs” (page 113).
