DP2 (G06.16, G06.23, G06.24)

If you set the AUDITTRAILBUFFER or the SQLMXBUFFER attribute to 128 or more,

you need to reset these values to 0 before falling back to G06.16 or an earlier RVU. If

you fail to do so, TMF might not start, or a disk volume might go offline. You can

recover from this situation by using the SCF ALTER command. See the Interactive

Upgrade Guide for details.

If you are planning to use SQL/MX Release 2.0, HP recommends that you apply one of

these DP2 fallback SPRs on your current SYSnn before upgrading to G06.25:

•

T9053AOY, or later, if the system uses the online disk remirror feature

•

T9053AOZ, or later, if the system does not use the online disk remirror feature.

After installing the fallback SPR, test it sufficiently for production use. Then, migrate to

G06.25. If you are using SQL/MX Release 2.0 and you have to fall back to a previous

RVU, and you have created SQL/MX objects or audit records, you must have this

fallback SPR installed on your current SYSnn.

See the Interactive Upgrade Guide and Support Note S04057.

If you are planning on using the new TMF format 2 audit trail format, migration issues

might apply for DP2. The T9053G11 PVU provides support for TMF large audit trails

and two new disk attributes for REVIVE. See the softdoc T9053G11.

Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet Adapter (G06.16)

Any Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapters (GESAs) installed while migrating to G06.25

must be removed from the system during any fallback to an RVU prior to G06.16.

Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port Adapter (G06.24)

Any Gigabit Ethernet 4-port adapters (GESAs) installed while migrating to G06.25 must

be removed from the system during any fallback to an RVU prior to G06.24.

Minimum Memory Requirements (G06.16)

Beginning with the G06.16 RVU, NonStop S-series servers require a minimum 256 MB

of main memory.
