TSM Client and Server Software
(T8431), which is the default. For migration considerations for T1269, see CRE/RTL
(T8431, T1269) on page 4-17 and Support Note S02001.
TSM Client and Server Software
HP recommends that you always install the latest TSM server SPR and client.
TSM client software is backwards compatible. If you have to fall back to an earlier RVU
after installing G06.30, you can continue to use your upgraded TSM client software on
your system console.
Beginning with TSM client T8154ABI (TSM 2005A), the TSM Low-Level Link is
replaced by the OSM Low-Level Link. Installed by the TSM installer, the OSM Low-
Level Link looks and functions much like the TSM Low-Level Link. To learn about the
minor differences between the OSM and TSM versions, See TSM and OSM Client
Applications on page 1-2, or the TSM ReadMe file.
TSM does not support or adequately support these new features, beginning with the
G06.21 RVU:
•
Online disk remirroring (ODR) (G06.21). Only OSM automatically recognizes
online remirrored disks. TSM can recognize online remirrored disks only if $ZTSM
is aborted and then restarted.
•
HP NonStop ServerNet cluster (G06.21). HP recommends using the OSM Service
Connection (rather than the TSM Service Application) for all systems that are part
of an HP NonStop ServerNet cluster.
•
HP Ultrium Linear Tape Open (LTO) Tape Drive (introduced in the G06.21 RVU).
•
The new digital audio tape (DAT) drive for use on NonStop S-series systems
compatible with G06.23.
•
The I/O adapter module (IOAM) enclosure (introduced in the G06.24 RVU) and its
related components for use on S76000 NonStop S-series systems and later.
•
Enterprise Storage System (ESS).
•
The CT9841FC-x tape drive (introduced in G06.24), which is a replacement for
CT9840FC-x tape products.
•
New Fibre Channel disks available starting in G06.27.
Caution. You cannot simultaneously use both heap managers (T8431 and T1269) on the
same system.
Note. You install TSM server T7945ABN or later and TSM client T8154ABG or later before
performing an online boot code update.
