Upgrading to S76000 and S86000 PMF CRUs

ManualsBrandsHP ManualsServerHP Integrity NonStop Service Procedures

This procedure upgrades both PMF CRUs in an enclosure to S76000 or S86000 PMF

CRUs.

S7400, S7600, S72000, S74000, and S76000 PMF CRUs can be upgraded

online.

●

S7000 and S70000 PMF CRUs must be upgraded offline. ●

See Change History for changes made to this topic.

See PMF CRUs That Can be Upgraded Online and Coexist Permanently in Mixed

Systems for upgrade information and coexistence information.

Note:

Do not attempt to upgrade to unsupported configurations. ●

IOMF 2 CRUs are needed to take advantage of ServerNet II.●

IOMF and IOMF 2 CRUs can coexist briefly in an enclosure for online upgrade.

For performance reasons, both IOMF CRUs in an enclosure must be IOMF or

IOMF 2 CRUs.

●

Caution: Ask your service provider to verify the daughter board connectors on the

PMF CRU are fully seated before installing the CRU. Instructions are in Technical

Bulletin TB20051B. This affects S7800, S76000, S86000, S78000, and S88000.

Preparing for the Upgrade

a. Determine whether the processor enclosures have SEBs or MSEBs in

slot 51 (for the X fabric) and slot 52 (for the Y fabric). Check enclosures

group 01, group 02, group 03, group 04, group 05, group 06, group 07,

and group 08.

b. If MSEBs are installed, determine whether the interconnecting cables

between the MSEBs in slot 51 and slot 52 of these enclosures are ECL,

serial-copper, or fiber-optic cables.

See NonStop S-Series Topologies for cabling information.

The SEBs in slot 51 and slot 52 must be upgraded to MSEBs, and the

interconnecting ECL cables must be upgraded to serial-copper or fiber-optic

cables before you install S76000 or S86000 PMF CRUs.

Perform this upgrade offline or by replacing the SEBs online on one fabric at

a time. Before attempting an online upgrade, check that the system is

running G06.16 (OSM software or TSM server T7945ABB and TSM client

2002B T8154ABB) or later. These product versions bring down the selected

SEB or MSEB and all SEBs or MSEBs that are cabled to it. On earlier versions of TSM, you must perform separate operations to bring down both ends of a link before replacing a cable. To replace the SEBs on one fabric at a time, run a separate replacement procedure for each SEB to be replaced (you can use OSM replace actions or Replace SEB or MSEB guided procedures): 1. Start the procedure to replace one of the SEBs. 2. Run the procedure until you are prompted to Replace the SEB.

Upgrading to S76000 and S86000 PMF CRUs You must perform these steps in exactly the order listed here, even if you have successfully performed previous upgrades by doing these steps in a different order. 1 Install the G06.16 SUT. For further instructions, see the G06.16 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide (or a later version). For those migrating from pre-G06.

Change History for Upgrading to S76000 and S86000 PMF CRUs January 31, 2005 ● ❍ Added caution to ensure PMF CRU daughter board connectors are fully seated before installing the CRUs. Instructions for service providers are in Tech Bulletin TB20051B. ❍ Added step 3 to Preparing for the Upgrade, to change the processor code in the CONFTEXT file if you are upgrading from S7000. Failure to change the processor type halts the system when the new SYSnn is loaded.
