J06.13 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

Check or Alter the CONFTEXT File Before Installing This RVU SUT
NOTE: Tape_Label_Processing is controlled by the Storage Subsystem ($ZZSTO) ALTER SUBSYS
command. The CONFTEXT file directive TAPE_LABEL_PROCESSING gets overridden by the Storage
Subsystem settings. See the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem for more information
about the ALTER SUBSYS command.
The processor type (SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE) is specified in the CONFTEXT file. It currently
has only one value:
SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPESystem
NSE-MNB50000c, NB50000c-cg, NB54000c,
NB54000c-cg, NS2200 series, and NS2000 series
Check the CONFTEXT file to ensure that the following entries are present. They are needed for the
implicit DLLs:
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_INIT_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^INIT^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_CORE_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^CORE^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_FS_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^FS^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_MCP_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^MCP^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_ETC_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^ETC^FILES;
This example shows a CONFTEXT file:
$TEMP CONFIGXX 2> type conftext
ALLPROCESSORS:
SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE NSE-M;
SYSTEM_VOLUME_SUBVOL $SYSTEM.SYS00;
SYSTEM_LIBRARY_CODE_FILES TANDEM^LIBRARY^CODE^FILES;
SYSTEM_PROCESS_CODE_FILES TANDEM^PROCESS^CODE^FILES;
SYSTEM_PROCESS_LIBRARY_FILES TANDEM^PROCESS^LIBRARY^FILES;
STANDARD_MICROCODE TANDEM^STANDARD^MICROCODE;
MICROCODE_FILES TANDEM^MICROCODE^FILES;
FILES_TO_COPY_TO_NEW_SYSTEM TANDEM^FILES^TO^COPY;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_INIT_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^INIT^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_CORE_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^CORE^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_FS_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^FS^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_MCP_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^MCP^FILES;
SYSTEM_IMPLICIT_ETC_FILES TANDEM^IMPLICIT^ETC^FILES;
FORMATTER_TEMPLATE_FILES TANDEM^FORMATTER^TEMPLATE^FILES;
INITIAL_COMINT_INFILE $DSMSCM.SYS.CIIN;
Installing CLIM Software
If your NonStop system has CLIMs installed, you must upgrade the CLIM software prior to cold
loading the SUT. The procedure for upgrading CLIM software is described in the Cluster I/O
Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual.
Backing Out the DSM/SCM Revision
If you encounter a problem with a SUT refresh that cannot be resolved, you can back out the
DSM/SCM revision.
