SPRs Required Before Upgrading
SPRs Required Before Upgrading
Depending on which RVU you are currently running, a number of SPRs must be
installed on your current RVU before you upgrade to the G06.25 RVU:
•
D46 DSM/SCM: At least a D46 DSM/SCM product version must be installed on the
host system before the site update tape (SUT) can be received into the archive.
Note that:
°
The D46 DSM/SCM client version enables you to manage Open System
Services (OSS) files. To obtain the client D46 version, you must download
DSM/SCM client from the ZDSMSCM subvolume after the T6031D46 server
software has been activated.
°
The new DSM/SCM Planner Interface has been enhanced to provide
installation and auditing functions for OSS files.
•
You can still use the T6031 ABB client with the T6031D46 server version to
manage Guardian files. However, you cannot use the T6031ABB client to manage
and audit OSS files. Therefore, HP recommends that the DSM/SCM client be at
the latest version (ABJ) and the server product version be T6031D46^ABK.
•
Fallback: If you encounter a problem that cannot be resolved while running the
G06.25 RVU, you can fall back to a previous G-series RVU, provided that you have
installed appropriate SPRs (referred to as fallback SPRs) on your system before
installing the G06.25 RVU, as discussed under Fallback SPRs on page 3-6.
•
Interoperability: SPRs might also be required to maintain interoperability when
you migrate one or more nodes in a multinode environment to the G06.25 RVU, as
discussed under Interoperability SPRs on page 3-7.
•
TSM Software Compatibility: You can also continue to use TSM client software
Version 2004A on your system console if you have to fall back to your earlier RVU.
See the softdocs for installation instructions. If OSM is not installed when migrating
to the G06.25 RVU, use TSM to update the firmware and perform system loads,
noting that TSM does not support new guided procedures, and tape and storage
functions inherent in G06.21 and later RVUs. TSM does support the new
processors: S7800, S78000, and S88000, but does not support IOAM.
•
OSM Software Compatibility: Eight of the previous OSM SPRs have been
combined into one (T0682G06^AAA) and it is available on the G06.25 SUT. The
T1089 ABO or later SP firmware SPR is available on the G06.25 SUT and should
be installed even if you have already installed T1089 ABK. If OSM is not installed
when migrating to the G06.25 RVU, use TSM to update the firmware and perform
system loads, noting that TSM does not support new guided procedures, tape and
storage functions inherent in G06.21 and later RVUs. OSM does support the new
processors: S7800, S78000, and S88000.
Caution. HP recommends that both the T6031 product version and the client version be at the
same level.
