To install Windows XP Professional, see the
NonStop System Console Guide for
Migrating to Microsoft Windows XP Professional
.
HP recommends that you upgrade to Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Windows
Server 2003
first
before upgrading your NonStop system console. However, if you use
the Installer CD first, and then migrate to the new Windows operating system, use the
Installer CD again to make sure that all applications are correctly installed. You can
now install Service Pack 2 for Windows XP Professional or Windows Server 2003.
If you want to use OSM client-based components and server software before or after
installing the G06.32 RVU, see the
OSM Migration and Configuration Guide
.
To ensure that the OSM Notification Director runs as a persistent service:
1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
2. Select the OSM Notification Director from the list of Services.
3. Right-click and select Properties.
4. Select the Recovery tab and change the properties for First, Second and
Subsequent failures to Restart the Service.
5. Click OK to apply the changes.
Verify System Operations
Verify the integrity of your current system environment to ensure your system is
operating normally before you install the G06.32 RVU by checking Table 5-1.
Note. New system console requirements must be met if you decide to use OSM as your
default client. See the
OSM Migration and Configuration Guide
or the
NonStop System
Console Installer Guide
for more information.
Note. You might need to get a new system console if you upgrade to Windows Server 2003.
