G06.28 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

G06.28 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide—541688-001
1-1
1 Overview of Installing G06.28
This section introduces the tools and requirements for:
•
Upgrading a single NonStop S-series server to the G06.28 RVU from a G06.06 or
later G-series RVU
•
Falling back from G06.28 to a previous (G06.06 or later) G-series RVU
Disk Space Requirements
The maximum site update tape (SUT) with all standard products, plus all optional
products available to customers, contains approximately 2 or 3 gigabytes (GB) of data,
depending on optional products. (However, actual disk space required can be much
greater, particularly if you are installing a maximum SUT and are installing NonStop
NonStop SQL/MX 2.1.1 or later.)
System Console Requirements
A system console is an HP approved personal computer used to run maintenance and
diagnostic software for NonStop S-series servers. New system consoles run either
Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003, and are
preconfigured with the required HP and third-party software. The DSM/SCM client is
also installed and configured.
When upgrading to the latest RVU, you can install software upgrades from the HP
NonStop System Console Installer CD (S7X-SWV1/HNSC-SWV1, Update 7), which
must be ordered separately from Scout for NonStop Servers through HP NonStop
eServices Portal at https://onepoint.nonstop.compaq.com/buildpage.asp. Always check
Scout for possible Installer updates. Depending on your current RVU, you might need
to install a Windows 2000 Service Pack. For detailed information on installing system
console software, see the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
While OSM is preinstalled on new system consoles, you can still install TSM from the
Installer CD. TSM is compatible with both XP Professional and Windows 2000. (See
your service provider for any compatibility issues with Windows Server 2003.)
Windows XP Professional is recommended for OSM and must be ordered separately.
You must order the HP NonStop System Console Kit for Migrating to Microsoft
Windows XP Professional. See the NonStop System Console Guide for Migrating to
Microsoft Windows XP Professional.
Unless OSM is already installed and configured on your server, use the TSM client and
TSM server software to update firmware and perform a system load to the new G06.28
RVU. To use OSM, certain client-side system requirements must be met. For PC
system requirements and information on migrating to OSM, see the HP NonStop
System Console Installer Guide and the OSM Migration Guide.
Note. HP NonStop system consoles are compatible with and are configured and shipped with
Windows XP Service Pack 2.
