Should You Install a New RVU?
number of processors in the system after expansion. Your system probably contains
only the correct number of MSEBs and MSEB PICs for its current configuration.
Before you expand your system, be sure you have the appropriate number of MSEBs
and MSEB PICs.
Should You Install a New RVU?
You can resize your system online only if your system is running the appropriate RVU:
•
For online expansion: G06.00 or later, with a compatible TSM package
•
For online reduction: G06.04 to G06.08, with a compatible TSM package
•
For online expansion and reduction: G06.08 or later, with a compatible OSM or
TSM package
•
For expansion involving IOAM enclosures installed in modular racks: G06.24 or
later, with a compatible OSM package
If your system is not currently running an appropriate RVU for the resizing actions you
plan to take, you must halt your system to install an appropriate RVU. In this case,
choose between:
•
Installing an appropriate RVU and then resizing the system while the system is
stopped (keeps your system offline longer)
•
Installing and loading an appropriate RVU, and performing the resizing procedure
while the system remains online (maximizes availability)

Caution. To add more PICs to an MSEB, run the Replace SEB or MSEB guided procedure to
remove the MSEB. The guided procedure ensures that the MSEB is ready to remove from the
system. MSEB PICs are Class-3 CRUs: you must be trained by HP to install them. Be sure
you are running T7945G06ABF or later if you plan to add PICS to an MSEB.
Caution. IOAM enclosures and components must be installed by service providers trained by
HP.
