Upgrading to S78000 and S88000 PMF CRUs

2 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. Failure to change the processor type
causes an immediate %100441 halt when the new SYSnn is loaded. See the
appropriate G06.24 or later Release Version Update Compendium for
migration and fallback details.
3 In systems with S78000 or S88000 PMF CRUs, MSEBs must be installed in
slots 51 and 52 in enclosures 1 through 8 for the processor ServerNet fabric.
All cabling previously used to connect the SEBs must be replaced with
MSEB serial copper or fiber-optic cables. You can still use SEBs to attach
I/O enclosures.
4 If you are installing MSEBs and replacing the interconnecting ECL cables
with serial copper or fiber-optic cables, you can perform these upgrades
either offline or online on one fabric at a time. OSM or TSM server product
version T7945ABB (from G06.16) or later and TSM client 2002B T8154ABB
or later are needed to down the selected SEB or MSEB and all the SEBs or
MSEBs 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. See
Upgrading SEBs to MSEBs on One Fabric at a Time.
