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 19
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 20
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 32
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 33
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 34
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 35
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 36
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.

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: 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. • 2. The chapter “Identification of BL860c i4, BL860c i2, and rx2800 Server Firmware Versions” identifies, by processor-specific firmware bundle version number, the system firmware versions and iLO firmware versions that are currently supported and those that are not.
PAGE 99
1. Identify the supported HSS firmware version(s) for your system by referring to the chapter “Valid System Firmware and HSS Combinations” in the latest edition of the NonStop Firmware Matrices. This chapter identifies both the server firmware bundle versions and the HSS firmware versions released on the most recent System Firmware Dates by system and processor type.
PAGE 100
4. (Conditional): Update the HSS Firmware Updating the HSS Firmware on All J-Series Systems Except NS2000 Series Make sure that the HSS firmware version on your J-series system needs to be updated as described in “Determine If the HSS Firmware Version Will Need to Be Upgraded” (page 98). To upgrade the HSS firmware, perform these tasks and refer to the NonStop System Console Installer Guide for the detailed instructions: 1. Uninstall the previous version of HSS firmware. 2. Install the new HSS firmware. 3.

a. b. Under Configuration File, select Current (CONFIG), the default configuration file that represents the configuration currently running. Under SYSnn and CIIN Option, verify that the CIIN Disabled option is not selected. The CIIN file must be enabled because it contains commands needed to start the server. The startup TACL process performs the commands in the CIIN file and then logs off. For a description of the CIIN file, see the appropriate planning guide for your system. 4. 5.
PAGE 103
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 104
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 105
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.

• Take the appropriate action to ensure that these jobs either terminate when finished or are stopped. • Drain the Spooler. To drain the Spooler, log on as a super group user (255,n), access SPOOLCOM, and enter the following command: SPOOLCOM> SPOOLER, DRAIN This command causes the Spooler to move from the active to the dormant state. CAUTION: Do not use the TACL STOP command to drain or stop the Spooler. Also, do not issue the TACL STOP command after you have issued the SPOOLCOM DRAIN command.

6. 7. Review the log file. If ZPHIRNM did not run successfully, correct the problem and rerun. Two types of error and warning messages are issued during the renaming process: • If a fatal error occurs, ZPHIRNM immediately issues an error message and stops. • A nonfatal error is one that affects processing only for a single subvolume. If a nonfatal error occurs, ZPHIRNM issues an error message and attempts to restore the subvolume it is currently processing to its original state.

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 123
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 49) 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 124
(Optional) Prepare to Fall Back to Previous CLIM Firmware If you will be falling back to previous CLIM firmware using the down system method, perform the Prepare for Down System CLIM Firmware Update action in the OSM Service Connection. For more information, see the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual.
PAGE 125
b. To determine if one ore more of the CLIMs you are downgrading is being used for DHCP, DNS, and BOOTP services, launch either the CLIM Boot Service Configuration Wizard or the NonStop Maintenance LAN DHCP DNS Configuration Wizard. Whichever wizard you have installed on your NonStop system console is launched from the Windows Start menu by selecting All Programs>HP OSM>, followed by the name of the wizard.
PAGE 126
The NonStop host system name in this example is \BLJCQA2 and the maintenance interface IP address is 192.168.37.83. b. Use the climcmd clim-name climconfig interface -info eth0 command from a TACL prompt for the CLIMs to obtain the netmask and gateway. For example: >climcmd N1002583 climconfig interface -info eth0 comForte SSH client version T9999J06_07Jul2008_comForte_SSH_0080 Interface : eth0 Interface Type : Physical Interface Jumbo Frame : NO IP Address : 192.168.37.83 Netmask : 255.255.0.

• 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 151) before you receive and install the RVU SUT.
PAGE 152
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.
