Task 6: Update Your SPR Log File
Any steps to be carried out before or after those associated with DSM/SCM are listed
in the “Installation Considerations” section of the softdoc addendum. For example, for
some products it is necessary to save subsystem configuration files before they are
replaced during the installation. On occasion, microcode of a certain version must be
downloaded before the DSM/SCM steps can occur.
The “Installation Considerations” section of the softdoc addendum are relevant only to
the SPR being documented. You must use judgment in composing aggregate
instructions to install multiple SPRs simultaneously (whether dependent on each other
or not).
Task 6: Update Your SPR Log File
Update your SPR log file to maintain an accurate and current software profile on your
system. DSM/SCM has automatic features that can help you keep these records.
Be sure to document the reasons for your decision to install an SPR. Maintaining an
SPR log file makes it easier to process new SPR information as it becomes available
and is invaluable the next time you plan to move to a new RVU (see Keeping Track of
SPRs on page 3-15).
