NonStop SQL/MP
OSS EasySetup (T0585) (G06.16 Through G06.23)
The OSS EasySetup product (T0585) is available for automated setup, as described in
the Open System Services Installation Guide. OSS EasySetup is a series of TACL
scripts that assist a site when configuring and installing a minimal OSS subsystem for
the first time or when starting, stopping, or removing an OSS subsystem.
The product NULL (T6025) is still included on each SUT. Starting with G06.23 and later
RVUs, with new PARAMs introduced, $NULL and $ZSMP are no longer required to
bring up the OSS Monitor. You no longer are forced to install them for OSS.
Starting in G06.23, EasySetup allows use of ZSPI definition files installed other than in
the default location and allows use of a nondefault ISV disk for OSS.
NonStop SQL/MP
In general, when migrating to a new version of HP NonStop SQL/MP software, you
should be reasonably sure you do not want to revert to the previous version of the
software before you perform any of these actions:
•
Create a NonStop SQL/MP catalog whose version is newer than the previous
version of the NonStop SQL/MP software. This situation occurs automatically when
you create a catalog on a node running the new version of the software.
•
Create a NonStop SQL/MP table using new features that cause the version of the
table to be newer than the previous version of NonStop SQL/MP software.
•
Compile a program using the new version of the NonStop SQL/MP compiler.
NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.1.1 (G06.27)
See the G06.23 Release Version Update Compendium, the Interactive Upgrade Guide,
and the SQL/MX Installation and Management Guide for more information about
migrating to SQL/MX 2.0 and 2.1.1. Requirements for migrating to SQL/MX 2.1.1 are
similar to those for SQL/MX 2.0. See also the SQL/MX Comparison Guide for SQL/MP
Users and the T0650 softdoc, which is the master softdoc for SQL/MX software
components.
Note. SQL/MX Release 2.0 and later requires processors that support IEEE floating-point
functions. All processors in a node on which SQL/MX Release 2.0 or later is installed must be
Model 1954 (S72000) or later. A processor halt%005101 can result when one or more
processors in a system do not meet the minimum hardware requirements for installing SQL/MX
Release 2.0.
In addition to supporting IEEE floating-point functions, a NonStop system on which SQL/MX
Release 2.0 or later is installed must support the SQL/MX minimum requirement of 1 GB per
processor. Therefore, the S74, S7000, and S7400 cannot be used because they do not
support the minimum memory requirement.For more information about the SQL/MX hardware
and memory requirements, see the SQL/MX Installation and Management Guide.
