DSM/SCM (T6031D46^ABN) and the G06.26
RVU
Starting with the G06.18 RVU, a new configuration file, A7CINFO, is introduced for
managing OSS files. To manage OSS files, install the T6031 D46 product version
update (PVU) on the host system before receiving the SUT. The corresponding client
version of the software must also be installed.
To upgrade the DSM/SCM client, download the DSM/SCM client version from the
ZDSMSCM subvolume from the SUT and install it. (If you have acquired new system
consoles, the most up-to-date DSM/SCM client is already installed.) For download and
installation instructions for both the server-side and client-side (Planner Interface), see
Appendix B, Installing the Latest DSM/SCM SPRs and Client Software.
HP recommends that the target systems be upgraded to the T6031D46^ABN version
of DSM/SCM before the host system is upgraded to this SPR.
Installing Required or Recommended SPRs Before Installing a
New RVU
Before installing G06.26, install required or recommended SPRs. An SPR could be
required for any of these reasons:
•
To prepare for fallback
•
To install a defect repair for a product that is required for a successful upgrade
•
To maintain interoperability for a product across a network
To determine which SPRs you should apply to your current RVU before you install
G06.26, see Section 3, Installing SPRs Before Upgrading to the G06.26 RVU.
To install SPRs using DSM/SCM, see Appendix A, Using DSM/SCM to Install SPRs.
Installing the G06.26 RVU Using DSM/SCM
1. Receive new software into the DSM/SCM Archive.
When software is received, the files from each product are stored in the DSM/SCM
Archive, a holding area for your software. File attributes are stored in the
DSM/SCM host database. Each time a new version of a product is received, only
changed files are placed in the Archive, and file attributes are updated in the Host
database.
2. Create a new software revision.
A software revision is a list of products stored in the DSM/SCM Archive that will be
built into a new software revision. A software revision can include a SUT, SPRs,
and third-party software. When you create a new software revision, DSM/SCM
selects the products in the SUT that are licensed for your site and replaces
previous versions of the products.
