HP NonStop Server Software Requirements
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 or later fallback SPRs if necessary. See Section 3,
Installing SPRs Before Upgrading to the G06.27 RVU.
•
Install the latest G02 product version of DSM/SCM on your host system before you
install the SUT. Appendix B, Installing the Latest DSM/SCM SPRs and Client
Software describes how to restore from tape and install the recommended
T6031G02 SPR of DSM/SCM. The DSM/SCM client and server product version
enables you to manage OSS files and is compatible with H-series.
°
If you are upgrading to the G06.27 RVU, download the most current client
version of DSM/SCM (T6031G02) from the ZDSMSCM subvolume after the
G02 new product version has been restored and activated from the SUT tape.
The DSM/SCM T6031G02 client software supports T6031G02 server software
and previous DSM/SCM server software (including T6031D31). To install the
DSM/SCM client, see Appendix B, Installing the Latest DSM/SCM SPRs and
Client Software.
Note. All OSS SUT-based products with pax files must have the A7CINFO file in their distributed
subvolumes (DSVs) to be installed by DSM/SCM. Check the appropriate product softdocs and the
Interactive Upgrade Guide to ensure that DSM/SCM installation is possible.
Using PINSTALL/COPYOSS, you can still install OSS products that are not released with an
A7CINFO file in their DSVs. See the appropriate OSS manuals.
To ensure that OSS-managed files can be correctly restored in case of a fall back to an earlier RVU,
do not use the PINSTALL /COPYOSS utilities to install those OSS products that DSM/SCM has
installed on an OSS file system.
During the Build/Apply phase to manage OSS files, DSM/SCM indicates which OSS products in a
configuration are not DSM/SCM-enabled. For those OSS products, use PINSTALL/COPYOSS.
