J06.11 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

1 Overview of Installing This RVU
For information on installing SPRs, see “Using DSM/SCM With NonStop Software Essentials to
Install SPRs” (page 129) or “Using DSM/SCM With the Planner Interface to Install SPRs” (page 136).
SUT on DVD
The J-series SUT is also available on DVD. For instructions on installing the SUT from the DVD, see
the IPSetup User’s Guide.
WARNING! See the Support Note S12017 (IPSetup on 64-bit Windows causes IE problems) for
information about preventing or recovering from an Internet Explorer issue that can occur on 64-bit
Windows operating systems.
CLIM Software for This RVU
If your system has CLIMs installed, the CLIM software is available on a separate DVD and in Scout
for NonStop Servers. Before installing CLIM software on your NonStop system, you must install the
software on the system console as described in the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and
Management Manual.
CLIM software compatibility across RVUs is documented in the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Software
Compatibility Reference.
Disk Space Requirements
The maximum SUT with all standard products, plus all optional products available to customers,
contains approximately 8 gigabytes (GB) of data, depending on optional products (however,
actual disk space required can be much greater).
Operational Differences Between This RVU and H-Series RVUs
There are no known operational differences between H-series and J-series RVUs. Operational
differences between G-series and J-series RVUs are the same as for G-series and H-series; for that
information, see the H06.nn Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Investigating a J-Series RVU
Several resources are available to help you plan for installing a J-series RVU:
• Product softdocs and the README file.
• The J06.nn Release Version Update Compendium provides highlights of the new products and
features for each J-series RVU. It also discusses the effect these changes have on installation
and configuration, operations and management, data files, applications, and networks.
• The IUG2 simplifies the planning of software and hardware for J-series RVUs. Select the
products and RVUs you use, and the Interactive Upgrade Guide 2 automatically displays
customized migration instructions and lists new features.
• The Managing Software Changes manual explains TRM2000 and provides information about
system migration and installation processes, SPR analysis, and resources for investigating new
RVUs and SPRs.
• Scout for NonStop Servers is a Web-based SPR analysis and delivery tool. You can access
Scout through HP NonStop eServices Portal at:
