K-Series to S-Series Differences

K-Series to S-Series Migration Considerations
Map: K-Series to S-Series Differences.
Sources of Information for K-Series to S-series Differences refers you to NonStop
publications that provide details on performing migration-related tasks. The following
information is only a summary of some of the more critical aspects of migrating a
system.
Converting Obsolete Commands
Because CMI, PUP, TAPECOM, and COUP are not used in G-series RVUs, you must
update any files on your system that might contain obsolete commands:
Function keys●
Command files●
IN files●
TACL macros●
Converting Commands to SCF
From within the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF), if you type a HELP PUP or HELP
COUP command, SCF displays information to help you convert the command to its
SCF equivalent.
MIGSCF, a nonsupported software tool, can help convert PUP and COUP commands
to SCF, when equivalent commands exist and if the procedures for configuring devices
or processes are not different. For more information about installing and using
MIGSCF, see the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs (for G06.16 and earlier,
see SCF Reference Manual for G-Series Releases). Information about MIGSCF is also
available in a file on the SUT named $SYSTEM.ZMIGSCF.MANUAL.
Comparing DSM/SCM to Install
You use DSM/SCM to install G-series RVUs of the operating sysem. If you are
converting from a D-series system and are familiar with the Install product, it is
important that you understand the significant differences between the phases of Install
and DSM/SCM. For an overview of the installation steps involved:
For G06.18 and later, refer to the G06.nn Software Installation and Upgrade
Guide.

For G06.17 and earlier, refer to the G-Series Highlights and Migration Planning
Guide.

Creating Additional Startup Files
With the NonStop S-series server, HP ships several startup command files that
automatically start devices and processes. To further automate the system startup
