J06.13 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

DSM/SCM Upgrade Issues/Interoperability SPR Requirements
If you are migrating from a J06.04 or earlier RVU to a J06.07 or later RVU, be aware that the
USERID attributes of all persistent processes configured under $ZZKRN might change from
SUPER.SUPER to NULL.NULL. If this occurs on a system where $SYSTEM is using FCDM disk
enclosures connected by FCSAs in IOAM enclosures, the system might halt when a system load to
the new RVU is attempted. To prevent this problem, you must install DSM/SCM SPR T6031H02^ACJ
or later on your system. See Hotstuff HS03058 for more information.
J06.08
NonStop SQL/MX
The J06.08 RVU introduces the large block support feature (32 KB blocks) for NonStop SQL/MX
tables. This feature requires a new revision of the HP NonStop Remote Database Facility (RDF,
T0346). For systems running J06.08, the RDF version is compatible only with T0346H09^ACC
and later SPRs of RDF. For more information, see the T0346 softdoc.
For the J06.08 RVU, the versions of RDF on primary and backup systems that are supported across
different RVUs are:

J06.09
This section describes changes to default behavior introduced by new features at J06.09. For a
complete list of new features, migration issues and fallback considerations, see the J06.09 Release
Version Update Compendium.
SQL/MX 2.3.4 Requires JDBC T2 Driver
JDBC T2 Driver must be installed on J06.09 and later J-series RVUs to support SQL/MX 2.3.4.
BladeCluster Solution Multi-Zone Support
Multi-zone topologies, introduced at J06.09 but supported back to J06.04, require software licences
and other components on all nodes within the zones. See the J06.09 Release Version Update
Compendium for a high-level list of these requirements.
J06.10
This section provides information only for new features and changes that affect the software
installation and upgrade steps for J06.10. See the J06.10 Release Version Update Compendium
for a complete list of new features and associated migration and fallback alerts.
NonStop SOAP 4
NonStop SOAP 4 migration issues exist for NonStop SOAP 3 to NonStop SOAP 4 upgrades. See
the J06.nn Release Version Update Compendium for this RVU for a list of migration issues and
workarounds.
