Upgrading NonStop S-Series Servers
Upgrading NonStop S-Series Servers
If you are upgrading from the NonStop S7000 system (NSR-W), and before you
upgrade to S76000 (NSR-X), S86000 (NSR-Y) / S7600 (NSR-E), NonStop S7800
(NSR-J), S78000 (NSR-H), S88000 (NSR-Z), you must change the
SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE in the ALLPROCESSORS paragraph in the
CONFTEXT file. In the CONFTEXT file, you can specify only one processor type. You
cannot specify NSR-D (S7400) or NSR-W (S7000) in a system with mixed processor
types. For example:
$TEMP CONFIGXX 2> type conftext
!comment
ALLPROCESSORS:
SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE NSR-C;
SYSTEM_VOLUME_SUBVOL $SYSTEM.SYS00;
.
.
For processor model S70000 running G06.24 and later RVUs, you must change the
processor type from NSR-G to NSR-C in the ALLPROCESSORS paragraph in the
CONFTEXT file. Failure to change the processor type when loading the new SYS nn
causes an immediate %100441 halt. All other references to NSR-G are still valid,
which means that a query performed on the system returns NSR-G if the PMF is a
model 1951 PMF CRU (S70000).
