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 Instructions section of the softdoc. 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 Instructions section of the softdoc is 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 3-12).
