11 Offline Configuration Tasks
This section describes offline configuration tasks, which change software or hardware
configurations and require the system to be shut down.
Changes That Must Be Made Offline
A few configuration changes must be made offline:
•
Installing a new RVU.
•
Installing a product revision, such as a software product revision (SPR), that
requires a system load.
•
Making configuration changes that either cannot be made using an online
configuration tool or require a system load to take effect, such as changing the
system name.
•
Changing the system topology.
•
Changing the configuration of the QIOMON process.
•
Changing the CONFTEXT file.
•
Some online PMF CRU upgrades are not allowed. To see what upgrades can be
made online, see the NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide. No
others are supported.
•
Installing TSM. System consoles are initially configured by HP manufacturing with
OSM enabled and TSM disabled. This includes disabling the power scrub test and
processor alarm functionality in TSM. If you want to use TSM instead of OSM,
follow the instructions described under Fallback Issues in the OSM Migration
Guide.
Offline changes are usually performed during a planned outage. For more information
about planned outages, see the NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide.
