Upgrading NonStop S-Series Servers
Upgrading NonStop S-Series Servers
If you are upgrading from the NonStop S7000 system (NSR-W), and before you
upgrade to S76000 (NSR-X), S86000 (NSR-Y) / S7600 (NSR-E), NonStop S7800
(NSR-J), S78000 (NSR-H), S88000 (NSR-Z), you must change the
SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE in the ALLPROCESSORS paragraph in the
CONFTEXT file. In the CONFTEXT file, you can specify only one processor type.
Neither NSR-D (S7400), nor NSR-W (S7000) can be specified in a system with mixed
processor types.
For processor model S70000 running G06.24 and later, you must change the
processor type from NSR-G to NSR-C in the ALLPROCESSORS paragraph in the
CONFTEXT file. Failure to change the processor type when loading the new SYSnn
causes an immediate %100441 halt. All other references to NSR-G are still valid,
which means that any query performed on the system will return NSR-G if the PMF is a
model 1951 PMF CRU (S70000).
