New and Changed Information in This Edition

This is a new edition.

What This Guide Does Not Cover

• Changes from G-series RVUs. Differences between G-series and J-series RVUs are the same

as for H-series RVUs. For information on differences between G-series and H-series RVUs, see

the H06.nn Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.

• System migration planning. System-wide issues involved in migrating to the latest J-series RVU

are covered in:

◦ The J06.nn Release Version Update Compendium for this RVU

◦ The Interactive Upgrade Guide 2 (IUG2)

• Installing a J-series RVU from a host system to a remote or separate network-connected target

system using an Expand connection or tape. See the NonStop Software Essentials User's

Guide or the DSM/SCM User’s Guide for information on setting up target systems.

• Installing and configuring OSS.

• Upgrading HP NonStop System Console workstation applications. To install or upgrade HP

and third-party system console client software, such as OSM client-based components, see

the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.

• Installing and configuring OSM server components. To install and configure OSM server

components, and start using client-based components, see the OSM Configuration Guide.

• Installing, configuring, and migrating to HP NonStop SQL/MX. The SQL/MX Installation and

Management Guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring NonStop

SQL/MX. Migrating a G-series NonStop SQL/MX or NonStop SQL/MP database to a J-series

RVU and falling the database back to G-series RVUs is the same as for migrating to an H-series

RVU. For information about migrating a G-series database, see the SQL Supplement for H-Series

RVUs.

authorized service provider.
