J06.13 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

New CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Storage Devices
HP introduces (controlled availability) support for next-generation CLIMs and storage devices. The
new CLIMs and storage devices require J06.06 and later J-series RVUs. All software required for
these components is included with this RVU.
See the planning guide for your system for information about the CLIMs and storage devices.
The new devices require the J06.06 or later J-series RVU. If you must fall back to an earlier RVU,
you cannot use the new CLIMs or SAS disk enclosures. If you fall back to an RVU between J06.06
and J06.09 inclusive, you must add SPRs to those RVUs to support the new CLIMs and disk
enclosures because falling back to a previous RVU removes the required software. For a list of
required SPRs for these components, see the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Software Compatibility
Reference.
The next-generation CLIMs and storage devices only work with each other. They cannot be mixed
with the previous generation CLIMs and storage devices.
Other CLIM and CIP Changes
The Telco CLIM now supports CLIM failover.
This RVU also includes new features to solve the issue of CLIMs trying to send data on down-link-pulse
interfaces and to provide more control over routing.
CIP now supports audit logging for commands executed on a CLIM using CLIMCMD.
See the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual for more information
about these features.
Hardware and Networking
As of J06.03, Token-Ring and System Signaling Seven (SS7) connectivity is supported on NonStop
BladeSystems through the NonStop S-series I/O enclosure. For more information, see the NonStop
BladeSystem Planning Guide.
