J06.09 Release Version Update Compendium

Preparation, Planning, and Migration
• If you are migrating from a G-series to a J-series RVU, before you begin migrating
applications, contact your HP representative to analyze your applications and identify
specific modules and program components that require changes for migration to a J-series
RVU.
• If you are migrating from an H-series to a J-series RVU, modules and program components
require no changes.
• For the physical, electrical, and environmental specifications used by HP professional service
providers for site preparation, see the NonStop BladeSystem Planning Guide. This manual can
be found in the HP NonStop Technical Library (NTL).
• For a J-series overview, see Section 1 of the J06.03 Release Version Update Compendium.
• For descriptions of NonStop BladeSystem hardware and the ServerNet SAN and how to
plan and configure the site in preparation for installation of the system, see the NonStop
BladeSystem Planning Guide.
• For changes in J-series installation, see the J06.09 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.
• For a browser-based guide to upgrading from a previous G-series or H-series RVU to the
current RVU, see the Interactive Upgrade Guide 2.
• Applications to be migrated from a G-series RVU to a J-series RVU require the same changes
as for migrating to an H-series RVU. For those changes, see the H-Series Application Migration
Guide, which covers these migration paths:
— Migrating G-series TNS programs to the TNS environment on an H-series RVU
— Migrating G-series (TNS/R) native programs to the TNS/E native environment on an
H-series RVU
• For compatibility and interoperability between the NonStop BladeSystem server, the NonStop
S-series server, and the NonStop NS-series server, specific software product revisions (SPRs)
are required. See the J-series overview page in the Interactive Upgrade Guide 2.
• For interoperability of SQL/MX releases between systems running G-series and those running
J-series RVUs, see the SQL/MX Database and Application Migration Guide.
