• A note was added to the CLIMRSTR step of “Complete CLIM Setup” (page 129).
• The order of steps for resetting and starting the disks changed in “Complete CLIM Setup”
(page 129) for the case of no LUNs started during the CLIM reboot (step 3d).
The 584300-008 edition contained this change: Step 3 in “Complete CLIM Setup” (page 129) was
revised to include the need for rebooting Storage CLIMs after executing the clearlog command.
The 584300-007 edition contained this change: The privileges required for running SSOCLIM
changed back to any SUPER group user. See “Complete CLIM Setup” (page 129).
The 584300-006 edition contained these changes:
• In “Configure the WAN Manager” (page 98), references to either the SWAN Concentrator
Installation and Support Guide or the SWAN 2 Concentrator Installation and Support Guide
replaced procedures.
• Considerations were added to the J06.08 section of Chapter 3: “Installation, Migration, and
Fallback Considerations for This RVU” (page 31).
• In “Updating SWAN Concentrator CLIP Firmware” (page 168), the procedural information was
deleted and replaced with references to either the SWAN Concentrator Installation and Support
Guide or the SWAN 2 Concentrator Installation and Support Guide.
• In Appendix C: “Installing SWID and DSM/SCM PVU Using NonStop Software Essentials
Client Software ” (page 147), the Create an Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) or Automated System
Recovery (ASR) Disk section was deleted.
The 584300-005 edition contained this change: In “Managing Server Blade Firmware” (page 25),
NonStop NS2000 series servers information was added.
The 584300-004 edition contained these changes:
• Most firmware levels have been moved to the NonStop Firmware Matrices document.
• An important warning was added to the note in “Run the inetd Process” (page 97).
These changes were made to clarify CLIM software upgrade:
• Chapter 3: “Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations for This RVU” (page 31) was
changed to correct the CLIM interoperability issues that apply to J06.05 and J06.06 and later
J-series RVUs.
• Chapter 4: “Upgrade Checklist” (page 36) was changed to eliminate a CLIM reboot step after
the software upgrade step because the reboot occurs during the software update procedure
itself and was therefore redundant as a separate step in the checklist. This section also mentions
that for J06.06 and later RVUs, the CLIMs can be updated online, in advance of the RVU
software installation, and that the steps must be performed in order. Finally, the contingency
that you may have already performed the CLIM software upgrade online before beginning
the RVU upgrade is accounted for in the steps.
• Chapter 4: “Upgrade Checklist” (page 36) was reorganized to make it clear that for an offline
upgrade of CLIMs, you perform the CLIM software upgrade while the processors are halted.
As part of this clarification, “4. Upgrade the CLIM Software” (page 87), was made into a
distinct step.
