J06.11 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

These SPRs facilitate software migration and software management operations between nodes
running G-series RVUs and nodes running H-series and J-series RVUs:
• The T9621D30^ABB, T9674D30^AAM, T9276D30^AAW, and T0448G06^AAA SPRs
provide the option of using a G-series RVU system to construct objects that will ultimately run
on an H-series or J-series RVU system. Possible activities that can be performed in the G-series
RVU system include accelerating objects that will eventually run on an H-Series or J-series RVU
system. Once the objects have been properly constructed on the G-series RVU system, they
can be moved to the H-Series or J-series RVU system by whatever means preferred, for example,
by Expand, FTP, or magnetic tape. For more details, please refer to the H-Series Application
Migration Guide.
• T6031G01^ABP provides the option to use DSM/SCM to manage software in an environment
composed of systems running different RVU series. The systems need not be connected through
Expand. For more details, refer to the NonStop Software Essentials User's Guide.
• T9617G03^AAY allows you to check the VPROC of H-series and J-Series object files that
have been copied to a G-series RVU system or in situations where a G-series RVU node is
used to manage software for a H-series or J-series RVU system. This functionality can also be
used to query the VPROC of a remote object file through Expand.

Back Up System Information
To ensure you always have a backup of your system information, run your system with a mirror of
$SYSTEM. When you are loading a new RVU, you can assure a backup of your system by shutting
down half of $SYSTEM and other important disks, loading the RVU on the other $SYSTEM, verifying
the RVU and then reviving the other $SYSTEM. Alternatively, or in addition to running your system
with a mirror of $SYSTEM and loading the RVU as described, create a disk image of $SYSTEM
and store it in a safe place so you can physically install and boot the backup disk if needed.
