Verify that the Latest SPR of DSM/SCM is Installed
To verify that the appropriate version of DSM/SCM is currently installed on your system, use the
VPROC command to display the product version of TAEXE (Apply product of DSM/SCM) and
CBEXE (Build product of DSM/SCM). At a TACL prompt, enter:
> volume $dsmscm_vol.ZDSMSCM
> vproc taexe
> vproc cbexe
Verify That SWID Is Installed
This example shows the H02 product version of SWID. Use the VPROC command
(\DRP08.$SYSTEM.SYSTEM 101> vproc swid).
The SWID version for this RVU is AAS.
Recovery for Problems While Installing the H02 Version of DSM/SCM
If you encounter problems while installing the H02 version of DSM/SCM, see the DSM/SCM
User’s Guide.
If NonStop Errors Are Displayed
See the DSM/SCM EMS Messages manual for information regarding the error message and the
DSM/SCM User’s Guide for information on deleting a Build/Apply request.
Cancel Pending Build/Apply Requests
NOTE: If you inadvertently close the Status page, reopen it by clicking on the Request Name link
on the Request List page.
Click the Cancel button.
The cancel request action takes a few minutes to finish.
NOTE: If you cannot cancel the Build request through NonStop Essentials, use the DSM/SCM
Target Interface (ZPHITI) to cancel the request. See the online help for more information.
NOTE: If you inadvertently close the Status dialog box, reopen it by selecting Requests> Requests
list and then double-clicking the request.
Install the NonStop Software Essentials Client
NOTE: See the NonStop Software Essentials Installation and Quick Start Guide.
NonStop Software Essentials requires DSM/SCM version ACS or later. However, the DSM/SCM
version for this RVU (ACQ) provides all the functionality needed for NonStop Software Essentials
to perform the installation and upgrade tasks in this guide.
If you have to fall back, you can use the newly installed client software.
