Fallback
For compatibility of PMF CRUs and coexistence of enclosures in a system, see the
NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide.
Before you upgrade to G06.24 or later RVUs, if your system includes processors with
processor model 1951 (NonStop S70000 or NonStop S70000SE), you must change
the processor type from NSR-G to NSR-C in the CONFTEXT file, ALLPROCESSORS
statement. All other references to NSR-G are still valid. Displays or queries done on
the system return NSR-G if the PMF is a model 1951 PMF CRU (NonStop S70000) or
1951 PMF FRU (NonStop S70000SE).
Before upgrading the NonStop S7000 system (NSR-W) to NonStop S78000 (NSR-H),
you must change the processor type entry in the CONFTEXT file. You can specify only
one processor type.
After changing the CONFTEXT file, you must perform all required DSM/SCM requests
to create a new SYSnn, including the new processor type. System load of the new
SYSnn is required after the new hardware is installed.
The S78000 does not require the branch prediction logic patch.
Fallback
For fallback, you do not need to downgrade the SP firmware to its previous version. If
you are falling back to an RVU prior to G06.16, you must return processor boot code
(T7892) back to the previous version and update the firmware before performing a
system load of the previous RVU.
See the G06.24 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide for information.
NonStop S88000 Server
The HP NonStop S88000 server is introduced at G06.24 and supports G06.24 and
later RVUs. It provides improved processor performance compared with the NonStop
S86000 server.
Model 1974 (S88000) PMF CRUs feature dual-inline memory modules (DIMMS) and
faster processors than earlier servers and can be ordered in these memory
configurations:
See the NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide for more information.
