Steps for Upgrading Software Without System Loads
to Obtain G06.14 Functionality
Steps for Upgrading Software Without System Loads to Obtain
G06.14 Functionality
1. On the system consoles for all nodes in the cluster, upgrade the TSM client
software to Compaq 2001D or a later version of the TSM client. For more
information, refer to the NonStop System Console Installer Guide.
2. On all nodes in the cluster:
a. Use DSM/SCM to apply the following SPRs (or superseding SPRs) and their
requisite SPRs. For more information about the SPRs, refer to Table 4-6 on
page 4-8 or the softdoc for the SPR.
SPR Notes
T0502AAG For availability of this SPR on G06.09 through G06.12 RVUs,
contact your HP representative.
T0294AAG This SPR can be applied only to nodes running G06.12 or a later
G-series RVU. For more information about T0294 compatibility,
refer to Considerations for Upgrading SNETMON/MSGMON and
the Operating System on page 4-95.
T0569AAA If you are upgrading software for a star topology (G06.09, G06.10,
or G06.11 without SPRs), you must include T0569AAA so that it is
available in the archive for fallback purposes. For more
information, refer to T0569AAA Firmware and Configuration Files
on page 4-101.
T0569AAE See the following note.
T1089ABC None.
T7945AAY None.
T9082ACR None.
Note. Because of time constraints unique to each production environment, installing
these SPRs sometimes cannot be accomplished all at once for every node in a
cluster. You might need to continue using a star or split-star topology while the SPRs
are applied to some—but not all—nodes. In this scenario, any node to which the
T0569AAE SPR is applied generates a TSM alarm indicating that the node has a
newer version of T0569 than the version running on the cluster switch (T0569AAA or
T0569AAB).
The presence of this alarm can prompt some users to download T0569AAE to the
cluster switches before the SPRs have been applied to all nodes. The repair action for
the alarm warns you not to download T0569AAE to the cluster switches until the SPRs
are applied to all nodes, but some users might not see the warning.
To avoid alarms generated on ServerNet nodes during a migration procedure that
extends over a long period of time, apply all of the preceding SPRs except T0569AAE.
When all of the SPRs except T0569AAE have been applied to all nodes and you are
ready to download T0569AAE to the cluster switches, apply T0569AAE to all nodes.
