J06.13 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

Online help for using Scout is available on the Scout Web site.
• Scout or the DSM/SCM Planner Interface can be used to view and print softdocs and release
documents on the SUT after you receive new software into the archive. For more information,
see the DSM/SCM User's Guide or Scout.
System Console Requirements
A NonStop system console (NSC) is an HP-supplied personal computer used to run OSM and other
maintenance and diagnostic software for NonStop servers. For information on currently supported
hardware models and other requirements, as well as the latest available console software, see the
NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
Updating System Consoles (Optional)
HP recommends that you always update console software to the versions available on the latest
NonStop System Console Installer DVD.
NOTE: HP recommends that you use the latest version of the NonStop System Console Installer
DVD.
If you have ordered new system consoles for this RVU, the latest client-side software is already
installed; if not, obtain the latest NSC installer DVD. See the NonStop System Console Installer
Guide for detailed information on installing the system console software.
NOTE: HP recommends installing HP SIM and NonStop Software Essentials on a separate Central
Management Server (CMS), but does not support installing these products on the NonStop system
console as well. Either way, the products can be installed or upgraded from the HP Insight Control
for NonStop DVD that ships with the NSC DVD. For more information on whether installing HP
SIM and NonStop Software Essentials on the system console or a separate CMS makes sense for
your LAN environment, see HP SIM for NonStop Manageability, located in the NonStop Technical
Library (NTL).
This guide shows you how to upgrade the RVU using either NonStop Software Essentials, an HP
SIM plug-in, or the DSM/SCM Planner Interface. If you are using a 64-bit console, you must use
NonStop Software Essentials, as the DSM/SCM client and its Planner Interface are not supported
on 64-bit consoles. If not already installed, both HP SIM and the NonStop Software Essentials
client component can be installed from the HP Insight Control for NonStop DVD that ships with the
NonStop System Console Installer DVD (Update 17 or later). You can also download HP SIM and
the NonStop Software Essentials client component from Scout, and download HP SIM from
www.hp.com/go/hpsim. For more information on installing and getting started with NonStop
Software Essentials server and client components, see the NonStop Software Essentials Installation
and Quick Start Guide.

NOTE: NonStop Software Essentials requires that a server component be installed on the NonStop
system. That server component is on the SUT for J06.13 and later, but can also be downloaded
from Scout. If the NonStop Software Essentials server component is not installed on your NonStop
systems, see the Nonstop Software Essentials Installation and Quick Start Guide.
