Site Update Tape (SUT) Documentation

All the product version updates for a release are stored in distribution subvolumes

(DSVs) on a site update tape (SUT). A DSV contains the object files and executables

for a product, in addition to the product softdoc.

The DSV for the RLSEDOC product (T9230), sometimes referred to as the release

subvolume, contains the Content File and README File for the RVU as a whole.

Content File

The Content file lists the SPRs included in the RVU and, in some cases, the SPRs

excluded from an RVU (that is, available SPRs not delivered in the RVU).

The Content File is available:

•

In the NTL Release and Migration Library for the RVU

•

On the site update tape in the RLSEDOC (Y9230) distribution subvolume

Appendix D, How to Use a Content File, describes the Content file in detail.

README File

For each release, a README file contains information that might not have been

available at the time manuals, softdocs, and other release materials were produced.

The README file is available:

•

In the NTL Release and Migration Library for the RVU

•

On the site update tape in the RLSEDOC (Y9230) distribution subvolume

Software Product Maintenance List (SPML) Document

The Software Product Maintenance List (SPML) document describes the current

maintenance levels of NonStop server software products and RVUs, including

functions not carried forward in new RVUs, changes in support structures for products,

products scheduled for discontinuation or obsolescence, supported and unsupported

RVUs, and release update history. This document is available on the Web page:
