2 G06.30 Upgrade Checklists
Use the checklist in Table 2-1 as you perform the tasks required to upgrade to the
G06.30 RVU and the checklist in Table 2-2 to record the information needed when
performing these tasks.
Task durations are included in Table 2-1. Most of these baseline durations were
established on an NonStop S72002 server running the G06.12 RVU under minimal
load (one user).
Note that these durations generally do not include operations such as starting a TSM
Service application or performing a System Discovery in the TSM Low-Level Link
Application or OSM Low-Level Link.
If you use DSM/SCM to manage OSS files, the Build/Apply operation is longer (about
an hour), depending on OSS products installed. If you select the Receive All files
option in DSM/SCM, the Build/Apply is also about an hour more.
