6 Installing the G06.31 RVU
Installing a new RVU involves these DSM/SCM tasks:
1. Receive New Software Into the Archive
2. Create a New Software Revision
3. Build and Apply the New Software Revision
Alerts
Do not use this procedure to upgrade more than one NonStop S-series server at a time
or to install SPRs.
Before you install the G06.31 RVU, these requirements must be met:
•
Always install the latest PVU or SPR of DSM/SCM and the DSM/SCM client before
receiving the SUT. A new PVU of both DSM/SCM and SWID was introduced in
G06.27. Use RESTORE and activate both the SWID (T9298G02) and DSM/SCM
(T6031ABU) product. See Appendix B, Installing the Latest DSM/SCM SPRs and
Client Software before continuing.
•
If you are managing OSS files with DSM/SCM, check that the OSS root name
server $ZPNS is started and running on the DSM/SCM Target. (See Create a New
Software Revision on page 6-8.) The volume where the SYS nn is being placed
must be activated as $SYSTEM to install the OSS files. See Appendix B in the
Open System Services Management and Operations Guide, or if using EasySetup,
see Section 1 in the Open System Services Installation Guide .
•
Install and start the appropriate TSM or OSM server SPRs, and upgrade the
system console to the set of software delivered on the HP NonStop System
Console Installer CD .
•
Check that SPRs have been installed for NonStop SQL/MX, DP2, if needed. See
Table 4-3 on page 4-7
•
Check that other SPRs required for falling back from the G06.31 RVU have been
installed, including any SPRs for NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.0. (You cannot
install SPRs required for fallback after you have installed the G06.31 RVU.) A
special OSS SPR, T8622AAH or later, ensures backward compatibility if you need
to fall back to an RVU prior to G06.12.
•
Save the configuration database.
•
Verify system operations. Review Section 5, Preparing to Upgrade the Server
Software.
Note. Until the T6031ABE or later SPR of DSM/SCM is installed, you should select the
Receive-all-files option on all inputs into the DSM/SCM Archive whether or not you want
to manage OSS files. When the T6031ABE or later SPR is applied, you can then choose
the Receive-all-files only if you want to manage OSS files.
