Using OSM With This RVU OSM Server-Based Component The server-based OSM SPR released with this RVU is T0682H02^ADF. This version may be superseded by a later version. For highlights of this server version, see the J06.16 Release Version Update Compendium or the OSM Service Connection User’s Guide, which is also available as online help with the OSM Service Connection. For detailed information about the OSM server-based component, including configuration options, see the OSM Configuration Guide.
PAGE 17
DSM/SCM and This RVU CAUTION: Before you install the SUT, you must copy the SUT versions of the DSM/SCM server and client products to your host system. When you copy the server and client SPRs for DSM/SCM, you must also upgrade the SWID product (T9298H02) at the same time to avoid a fingerprint or mismatched file problem.
PAGE 18
DSM/SCM and OSS When performing a Build/Apply, ensure that the setting of the Manage OSS Files option matches your target system. If the target system is not to use OSS, you must uncheck the OSS files option box before beginning a Build request. If the box is left checked, OSS is included by the Build request. The OSS root fileset needs to be configured and started before files can be copied into the OSS file system by DSM/SCM.
PAGE 19
request is finished, a snapshot is automatically created and returned to the host, if Expand-connected. 4. Activate the new operating system image. During the Build/Apply phase, DSM/SCM places product files in their TSVs with temporary (fabricated) file names so that the new files do not conflict with the file names of currently running programs. You run the ZPHIRNM program on the target system to: • Rename the files that currently have actual file names to fabricated names.

3 Installation, Migration, and Fallback Considerations for This RVU See the Readme file and the appropriate softdocs for the latest information on any migration or configuration steps. Considerations in this chapter are categorized according to the RVU at which they were introduced. J06.04 Compiling C++ Programs to Run on RVUs Earlier Than J06.04 Objects compiled by the J06.
PAGE 31
If the CLIM is in the STARTED state, you can determine the CLIM software version by using OSM Low-Level Link, OSM Service Connection or by entering: SCF-> VERSION CLIM $ZZCIP.clim-name If the CLIM is not in the STARTED state, you can use the CLIMCMD command with the Linux cat subcommand by entering: TACL>climcmd clim-name cat /etc/vproc Multiple versions of CLIM software are allowed on a system as long as all CLIMs have CLIM SPRs that are compatible with the host RVU.
PAGE 32
Falling Back to An Earlier Version of AF_UNIX If fallback is required: • If you start $ZPLS in a startup script using the SCF START SERVER command, modify startup scripts to start $ZPLS using the SCF START SERVER command. • If you use the STARTOSS utility to start OSS processes, modify the target-volume.ZOSSINS.OSSINFIL file by changing the line * SERVER #ZPLS to SERVER #ZPLS NOTE: target-volume is normally $SYSTEM. This ensures that the OSS Socket Local Server is started correctly as system load.
PAGE 33
J06.06 CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Software Compatibility For J06.06 and subsequent J-series RVUs, CLIM software associated with the RVU is compatible with the current RVU and all preceding RVUs (J06.06 and above). NOTE: The NonStop host RVU is not compatible with every CLIM version. The CLIM must be at the NonStop host RVU version or above. Therefore, when you upgrade your NonStop host RVU, you must also update your CLIM to the software level associated with the RVU to which you are upgrading.
PAGE 34
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.
PAGE 35
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.
PAGE 36
Changes to SSOCLIM Privilege Requirement The privilege for running SSOCLIM, which was SUPER.SUPER for J06.09 and J06.10, has been changed to any SUPER group user. SSOCLIM is run after a fallback. For details, see Complete CLIM Set Up in Chapter 13: “Falling Back on the CLIMs, Loading the Previous RVU, and Resuming Normal Operations ” (page 120). J06.12 This section provides information only for new features and changes that affect the software installation and upgrade steps for J06.12. See the J06.
PAGE 37
Upgrading a NonStop BladeSystem NB54000c or NB54000c-cg to J06.13 or Later RVUs Before upgrading to the J06.13 RVU or a later RVU, you must obtain the Core License Validation tool (CLICVAL). For more information, refer to the NonStop BladeSystem Planning Guide. Before upgrading to J06.13 or a later J-series RVU, use the CLICVAL tool to verify that the core license file is valid. After upgrading to J06.

5 Preparing to Upgrade the Server Software (Preinstallation Tasks) Before updating the system console and receiving the SUT, perform these tasks: Back Up Important Files Before you upgrade, create tape backups of critical host applications and files. Back Up NonStop SQL/MP HP recommends that you always have a current backup copy of the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ZZSQLCI2 file in case you need to initialize SQL later if you have problems with your new RVU during or after installation. 1.
PAGE 48
NOTE: If you must fall back to this RVU, you need to restore these saved configuration files because the configuration file version must match the NonStop system RVU. If you are upgrading from J06.04 or J06.05, create a subvolume to store the backups, then rename each backup file after you create it. The default file name for the backup is backupgz. Rename these as you create them. For example: 1. CLIMBKUP N1002583 $DATA1.BCKJ0605 2. FUP RENAME $DATA1.BCKJ0605.BACKUPGZ, $DATA1.BCKJ0605.N1002583 3.

8 Running ZPHIRNM During the Build/Apply phase, DSM/SCM places product files in their subvolumes with temporary (fabricated) file names so that new file names do not conflict with the file names of currently running programs. This chapter describes how to run the ZPHIRNM program on the target system to: • Rename the files that currently have actual file names with fabricated names. These files become obsolete when the new files are renamed.

NOTE: Prior to NonStop System Console Installer DVD, Update 18, authentication failures could occur when using certain OSM actions, including Update HSS action in OSM Low-Level Link. This problem is automatically fixed when you run the Master Installer on NonStop System Console Installer DVD, Update 18 or later.
PAGE 99
6. Upgrade the CLIM Software If you have not upgraded the CLIMs online before performing this RVU upgrade, upgrade the CLIM software on each CLIM now. See Upgrading CLIM Software Using OSM Low-Level Link in the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual. 7. (Optional) Update the CLIM Firmware If your system has CLIMs attached, it is important that your CLIM firmware be compatible with your system.
PAGE 100
5. Click Start System. The system load begins. If you want to stop the load process, click Abort in the System Load dialog box. You might wait up to 30 seconds before the abort takes effect. CAUTION: Do not close the System Load dialog box while startup is in progress. If you attempt to close the dialog box, an OSM message box indicates that the system startup process will be stopped if you continue. If you stop a system startup before the operation finishes, the state of your system cannot be predicted.

Start the MR-Win6530 terminal emulator and open one window each for the CNSL session display and the CLCI session display. If one or more of the startup event stream windows or startup TACL windows does not launch on the system console after a few minutes (5 to 8 minutes), abort system startup, close the OSM Low-Level Link, reboot the system console, and restart the system load using the OSM Low-Level Link again. 6. Monitor the system startup process.
PAGE 102
Completing the System Load (If Necessary) Loading the processors with the CIIN file is usually automatic. However, if the operating system loaded successfully into processor 0 or processor 1, but the commands in the CIIN file do not reload all remaining processors, use the RELOAD TACL commands. You must be super ID (255,nnn) to load the processors. 1. From the system console, log on to the system as a super-group user (255,nnn) and enter: > RELOAD *, PRIME 2.
PAGE 103
3. Verify that the NonStop operating system is working properly: a. Check the startup TACL window to verify that the startup scripts completed successfully. b. Check the startup event stream window and the startup TACL window for error messages. 4. Close the System Startup dialog box. For more information on system loads, see the NonStop Operations Guide.

13 Falling Back on the CLIMs, Loading the Previous RVU, and Resuming Normal Operations This chapter describes how to perform a system load of the previous RVU and how, as needed, to revert the CLIM software and/or firmware to the previous versions. NOTE: If your NonStop system does not have CLIMs installed, disregard the sections in this chapter that describe CLIM fallback procedures.
PAGE 121
Restoring the CLIMs assumes that you have saved the CLIM configurations by issuing the CLIMBKUP command before upgrading your system, as described in “Back Up CLIM Configuration Files” (page 47) and in the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual. Falling back to previous versions of CLIM software adds approximately one hour for each CLIM to the process of loading the system on the previous RVU.
PAGE 122
Prepare to Fall Back to Previous CLIM Software NOTE: If the system disk is a SAS disk, the SAS disk enclosures that contain the system disks (both primary and mirror) must have LUNs assigned prior to a reimage and must not be power-cycled during the reimage process. Following are preparatory steps for downgrading to a previous version of the CLIM software. 1. Obtain the password for the root user ID on the CLIM. 2. Obtain a password for the super.super TACL user ID. 3. Obtain the DNS name of each CLIM iLO.

For detailed instructions on reimaging a Gen8 CLIM using iLO 4, see Reimaging or Downgrading a CLIM. NOTE: If you have Gen8 CLIMs and need to fall back to a J-series RVU as far back as J06.08, you can continue to use the AC-powered Gen8 CLIMs as long as you install the required SPRs for the target RVU as described in the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Software Compatibility Reference. For the carrier-grade Gen8 CLIm, fallback is supported as far back as J06.10 as long as the required SPRs are installed.

• A summary of problems corrected • A summary of known problems remaining Keep a copy of each SPRNOTE and record the status of the related SPR. For example, record whether the SPR is not applicable, is already installed, or needs to be installed. Install SPRs Using DSM/SCM With the Planner Interface The steps for using DSM/SCM to install SPRs are the same as those for installing a SUT. Save the Current Configuration First, save the current system configuration database CONFIG file.

Run ZPHIRNM During the Build/Apply phase, DSM/SCM places product files in their subvolumes with temporary (fabricated) file names so that the new files do not conflict with the file names of currently running programs. After the Build/Apply finishes, run the ZPHIRNM program on the target system to: • Rename the files that currently have actual file names with fabricated names. These files become obsolete when the new files are renamed. • 1.

C Copying the DSM/SCM, NonStop Software Essentials, and SWID SPRs from the SUT Using NonStop Software Essentials To better ensure that the SUT installation proceeds smoothly, copy the DSM/SCM, NonStop Software Essentials server, and SWID SPRs located on the SUT to your system and perform the other tasks described in “Copying the DSM/SCM, NonStop Software Essentials, and SWID SPRs from the SUT Using NonStop Software Essentials” (page 149) before you receive and install the RVU SUT.
PAGE 150
Determine the Product Version of NonStop Software Essentials Server on the Host System and the SUT CAUTION: The NonStop Software Essentials server product (T0894H02) has been on the SUT since J06.13. If you are preparing to install a SUT for J06.12 or an earlier J-series RVU, you will not find the NonStop Software Essentials SPR on the SUT. Instead, you must use Scout to install the latest orderable NonStop Software Essentials server SPR on your system when you copy the DSM/SCM and SWID SPRs from the SUT.
