Upgrading to S78000 and S88000 PMF CRUs

ManualsBrandsHP ManualsServerHP Integrity NonStop Service Procedures

See Change History for a list of changes made to this topic.

Use this procedure to upgrade both PMF CRUs in an enclosure to S78000 or S88000.

S7400, S7600, and S7800 PMF CRUs can be upgraded online, but S7000 PMF CRUs

must be upgraded offline. See PMF CRUs That Can Be Upgraded Online and Coexist

Permanently in Mixed Systems.

Notes:

Do not attempt to upgrade to unsupported configurations. ●

IOMF and IOMF 2 CRUs are supported. IOMF 2 is needed for 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.

●

When the first S72000 PMF CRU in an enclosure is replaced with an S76000 or

later, or when an S7400 PMF CRU is replaced with an S7600 or later, an OSM or

TSM ServerNet path down alarm is generated. This normal condition is created

by router chip protocol differences. Ignore these alarms and messages. Replace

the other PMF CRU. When both PMF CRUs in an enclosure have been replaced,

the system returns to normal, and the alarms disappear.

●

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

1 If you are upgrading an S7000 system, a power shelf and two power

supplies must be installed in each processor enclosure by a trained service

provider. Contact your service provider for more details.

If you are upgrading from S7000 (NSR-W), you must change the processor type entry in the CONFTEXT file ALLPROCESSORS statement before you replace the PMF CRUs. Enter NSR-H (for S78000) or NSR-Z (for S88000). You can specify only one processor type. S7000 cannot be in a system with mixed processor types. After changing the CONFTEXT file, you must perform all required DSM/SCM requests to create a new SYSnn. System load of the new SYSnn is required after the new hardware is installed.

T2728AAL (OSM Service Provider) T2730AAL (OSM Event Viewer) T2751AAI (OSM Web-Based Suite) These 3 new client-based numbers replace T2752 OSM Application Suite T0632 AAI OSM Notification Director T0633 AAI OSM Low-Level Link T0634 AAI OSM Console Tools TSM T7945ABN (TSM Server) T8154ABG (TSM Client), first shipped on G06.22. Note: G06.24 and later OSM and TSM have been enhanced to handle S88000 hardware error freeze (HEF) scan strings and reset the affected processors.

2 If you are migrating from an RVU prior to G06.06, replace the disk bootstrap microcode. 3 Update service processor firmware. 4 Update the processor boot code. a. If you are running G06.24 or later or if SPRs T2728AAL (OSM) or T9745ABN (TSM) are installed and running, you can perform the update online. b. If you are running G06.23 or earlier and SPRs T2728AAL (OSM) or T9745ABN (TSM) are not installed, use the standard (offline) procedure and postpone the hard reset until Step 6.

Change History for Upgrading to S78000 and S88000 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 caution under required software for upgrading to G06.24 boot millicode (hard reset is required for systems running G06.23 and earlier without specified SPRs.).

Upgrading SEBs to MSEBs on One Fabric at a Time Note: If you are replacing SEBS and ECL cables prior to installing the G06.17 or later RVU, use OSM software or TSM server product version T7945ABB (from G06.16) and TSM client 2002B T8154ABB to replace them on one fabric at a time. These products 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.
