J06.17 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

Table 13 Upgrade Checklist (continued)
Done?ReferenceTask Description
“2. Halt the Processors” (page 99)21. Halt processors.
“3. (Conditional): Update the System Firmware” (page 99)22. (Optional) Update system
firmware using HP SUM (this applies
NonStop Firmware Matrices
to all NonStop systems running
J-series software except the NS2000
series, but is not always required).
See the sections “Valid System Firmware and HSS
Combinations” and “Updating BL860c Blade Firmware”
in the NonStop Firmware Matrices.
23. (Optional) Update the system
firmware manually (applicable to
NonStop NB50000c servers only but
not always required).
“4. (Conditional): Update the HSS Firmware” (page 100)24. If Halted State Services firmware
is being upgraded, hard reset the
processors. Note: This step is not
normaly applicable to NonStop
NS2000 series systems, except that
a reset is required if upgrading to
J06.14 or a later RVU. If you have
already performed Step 22 (updating
system firmware using HP SUM) as
part of upgrading any other NonStop
system running J-series software, a
power cycle has already occurred
and no hard reset of processors is
required.
This update is done through a Field Change Order (FCO).25. Update c7000 Enclosure
firmware, if necessary.
“5. (Required Only for Upgrade from J06.13 or Earlier
to J06.14 or Later) Perform a Hard Reset” (page 100)
26. If a hard reset of the processors
was successful in step 24, a reset is
not required again, including for
systems running J06.14 or a later
RVU.
“6. Upgrade the CLIM Software” (page 101)26. Update CLIM software on all
CLIMs by performing a CLIM Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and
Management Manualsoftware upgrade using the OSM
Low-Level Link. (If you are migrating
from J06.06 or later and performed
an online upgrade of the CLIM to the
CLIM software released with this RVU
before starting the host system
upgrade, you can skip this step.)
“Managing CLIM Firmware” (page 29)27. Update firmware for CLIM
components, if necessary.
“8. Loading the System” (page 101)29. Load the system with this new
RVU.
Use the OSM Read Core License action to verify that the
core license is valid.
30. For NonStop BladeSystem
NB54000c, NB54000c-cg,
IMPORTANT: If your license file is invalid or missing, you
must correct this problem. For more information, refer to
the NonStop BladeSystem Planning Guide.
NB56000c, and NB56000c-cg,
verify the system's core license file.
“Managing S-Series Interoperability Firmware” (page 29)31. Update S-series interoperability
firmware, if necessary.
“Updating ME Firmware” (page 22)32. Update ME and ME FPGA
firmware, if necessary.
