Done?ReferenceTask Description
8. Install and configure the latest
Halted State Services firmware, if
• NonStop System Console (NSC) Installer Guide
(procedures)
necessary (includes DISKBOOT and
• NonStop Firmware Matrices (firmware levels
reference)
ISP1040 firmware). Note: This step
is not applicable to NonStop
NS2000 series systems.
“Verify System Processes” (page 42)9. Verify system operations.
Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and
Management Manual (installation procedures), CLuster
10. Install CLIM software on NonStop
System Console.
I/O Module (CLIM) Software Compatibility Reference
(CLIM software and firmware compatibility information)
“Receive New Software Into the Archive” (page 51)11. For those with NonStop Software
Essentials, receive the RVU SUT into
the DSM/SCM software archive.
“Receive New Software Into the Archive” (page 63)12. For those with the DSM/SCM
Planner Interface, receive the RVU
SUT into the DSM/SCM software
archive.
“Create a New Software Revision” (page 54)13. For those with NonStop Software
Essentials, create the RVU software
configuration revision.
“Create a New Software Revision” (page 67)14. For those with the DSM/SCM
Planner Interface, create the RVU
software configuration revision.
“Build and Apply the New Software Revision” (page 57)15. For those with NonStop Software
Essentials, build and apply the RVU
software revision.
“Build and Apply the New Software Revision” (page 70)16. For those with the DSM/SCM
Planner Interface, build and apply
the RVU software revision.
“Print Operator Instructions From the Target Interface
(ZPHITI)” (page 59)
17. Print DSM/SCM Operator
Instructions.
Chapter 8: “Running ZPHIRNM ”18. Run ZPHIRNM.
“2. Halt the Processors” (page 87)19. Halt processors.
“3. Update HSS Firmware ” (page 87)20. If Halted State Services firmware
is being upgraded, hard reset the
processors. Note: This step is not
applicable to NonStop NS2000
series systems.
This update is done through a Field Change Order
(FCO).
21. Update C7000 Enclosure
firmware, if necessary.

Management Manual
22. Update CLIM software and CLIM
and SAS firmware on all CLIMs using
the procedure “Performing the CLIM
Software Upgrade Using OSM
Low-Level Link.” (If you are migrating
from J06.06 or later and performed
an online upgrade of the CLIM to the
CLIM software released with this RVU
before starting the host system
upgrade, you can skip this step.)
