HP NonStop Server Software Requirements

You must:

•

For TSM, if you have to install the most recent server SPRs, follow the instructions

in the appropriate softdocs. Depending on your current configuration, for most TSM

server SPRs, such as TSM Bind, the process might need to be aborted and then

restarted using the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF). See the appropriate softdoc

for preinstallation and post-installation details. To update processor boot code

online, you must install the G06.24 or later TSM SPRs.

•

Install the appropriate and prerequisite OSM server SPRs if you decide that you

want to use OSM. Eight previous OSM SPRs have now been combined into one

server SPR (T0682AAC), which is the OSM Service Connection Suite. All OSM

SPRs are available on the G06.26 SUT and on Scout. To update processor boot

code online, you must have installed and started the G06.24 or later OSM SPRs

and any prerequisites. See the T0682AAC softdoc for a complete list of problems

corrected.

•

See the Interactive Upgrade Guide for new features and the OSM Migration Guide

for installation and configuration information.

Use OSM to:

Manage and configure the new HP NonStop ServerNet Switch (model 6780).

Manage all systems that are part of an HP NonStop ServerNet cluster. OSM

suppresses generation of alarms and dial-outs on all nodes in the cluster when

service actions are performed on a cluster from any node. This protection is

not available if some nodes are being managed by TSM because TSM cannot

communicate with OSM.

Automatically recognize online disk remirroring. TSM must be stopped and

then started. Only OSM recognizes online disk remirroring without intervention.

Support the I/O adapter module (IOAM) enclosure and its components. OSM

provides the necessary ability to configure an IOAM enclosure before it is

integrated into the system.

Support new device models for the HP Virtual Tape for NonStop Servers.

•

Install SQL/MX Release 2.0 fallback SPRs if necessary. See Section 3, Installing

SPRs Before Upgrading to the G06.26 RVU.

Caution. You must have the TSM (T7945ABN or later) SPR or all the G06.24 or later OSM

SPRs and prerequisites installed and configured if you are updating boot code processor

firmware and plan to use the online boot code option. HP recommends that you install and

start these required SPRs before you build and apply the new RVU. See HS02865 for

background information on updating processor boot code.
