Application Reconfiguration
Application Reconfiguration
Reconfiguring an application can sometimes require that the application be taken
offline. A discussion of application reconfiguration is beyond the scope of this guide.
However, the Availability Guide for Application Design provides information on
designing highly available applications.
Installing a New RVU
HP currently requires that you shut down your system to activate a new version of the
operating system. By using the Distributed Systems Management/Software
Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM), your current system can continue to run while you
create a new SYSnn; you have to shut down the system only to perform the system
load.
To install a new RVU, perform the tasks described in the G06.nn Software Installation
and Upgrade Guide. These tasks involve:
•
Receiving the new software into the archive and creating the new software
revision.
•
Building and applying a software revision to the target system.
•
Activating the new software on the target system. The activation instructions
created by DSM/SCM indicate the steps to perform, such as performing a system
load or updating the firmware.
Installing a Product Revision
A product revision, such as an SPR, might include one or more fixes to programs
supplied by HP, or it might contain code that adds new function to an HP software
product. Installing a product revision might or might not require that the system be shut
down. Follow the installation instructions provided with the product revision. The
DSM/SCM User’s Guide describes installing product revisions in detail.
