J06.15
This section provides information only for new features and changes that affect the software
installation and upgrade steps for J06.15. See the J06.15 Release Version Update Compendium
for more information about these and other J06.15 products and their associated migration and
fallback alerts.
CLIM Fallback Considerations for Multiple Providers per CLIM
Multiple Providers per CLIM functionality and the requirements for CLIM fallback from J06.15 to
an earlier RVU are described in “If Falling Back to J06.14 or an Earlier RVU” (page 123).
Gen8 CLIMs
The Gen8 CLIMs are first supported with the J06.15 RVU and are available in IP, Storage, and
Telco versions. They are not supported on H-series RVUs. For more information about Gen8 CLIMs,
see the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Installation and Configuration Guide.
NOTE: If you have the J06.08 through J06.14 RVU installed and are not planning to migrate to
J06.15 or a later J-series RVU, you can implement Gen8 functionality and support by installing the
SPR required for your current RVU as identified in the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Installation and
Configuration Guide.
Halt and Hard Reset Processors When Upgrading to J06.15
When upgrading to J06.15 from J06.13 or an earlier RVU, the processors must be hard reset after
they are halted and before loading the system as described in “5. (Required Only for Upgrade
from J06.13 or Earlier to J06.14 or Later) Perform a Hard Reset” (page 100).
