Then change

Failure to do this can result in an error during startup of OSS. This error occurs on systems with
pre-T0585H01.
When Upgrading From J06.05 or an Earlier J-Series RVU: CLIM Software
CLIMs configured with the CLIM software released with J06.05 or J06.04 are not compatible with
J06.06 and later RVUs. Performing the CLIM upgrade when the processors are halted, as described
in “6. Upgrade the CLIM Software” (page 99), ensures the CLIM and host system will be compatible
when you restart the system. For migrations from J06.05 or J06.04, do not perform an online
upgrade to the CLIMs before the RVU upgrade. Preliminary online CLIM upgrades are only supported
for J06.06 and later J-series RVUs.
If You Are Migrating to a Another NonStop System
If, as part of your migration to the new RVU, you are also migrating your current NonStop system
to a new NonStop system, make sure your HP authorized service provider has fully completed the
new system installation and that the new system is powered on.
Determine If the System Firmware Version Will Need to Be Upgraded
Before you halt the processors on your system as described in “2. Halt the Processors” (page 97),
find out if your system firmware will need to be updated as you prepare load to load the new RVU.
System firmware would be updated when:
• You are migrating your current NonStop system to another NonStop system from which to
load and run the new RVU. However, you cannot definitively identify the new system firmware
version until the new system has been fully installed and powered on.
◦ NB50000c or NB50000c-cg to NB54000c or NB54000c-cg
◦ NB50000c or NB50000c-cg to NB56000c or NB56000c-cg
◦ NB54000c or NB54000c-cg to NB56000c or NB56000c-cg
◦ NS2000 series to NS2200 series
• You receive a support note or Hotstuff message instructing you to update your HSS firmware.
Unless you are migrating to a new system that has not yet been fully installed, you should take this
opportunity to identify the latest supported system firmware versions for your system and determine
which system firmware version is currently installed on your system.
1. See these chapters in the latest edition of the NonStop Firmware Matrices:
• The chapter “Valid System Firmware and HSS Combinations” identifies the server firmware
bundle versions (which contains the system firmware and iLO firmware) and the HSS
firmware versions released on the most recent System Firmware Dates by system and
processor type.
NOTE: The Server Firmware Bundle Version of the system firmware version must be
compatible with (in the same table row with) the HSS firmware SPR Revision for your
system.
• The chapter “Identification of BL860c i4, BL860c i2, and rx2800 Server Firmware
Versions” identifies, by processor-specific firmware bundle version number, the system
