Ensure that the VS system being upgraded is working with no known problems. Use on-line and off-line diagnostics to verify system and check all error logs. 2. With the system IPL'ed as is, run the install procedure that is located on the installation diskette (File = INSTALL, Lib = INSTALL, Vol = CP11). This procedure will use the VS BACKUP utility to install the necessary files into the appropriate library on the BOOT/IPL volume. NOTE: The procedure will ask for the BOOTSTRAP volume name. The files that will be installed or updated are: @MCCP11@ The CPU microcode will be installed in library @SYSTEM@ on the "IPL" volume. @MCRCU@ The RCU microcode will be installed in library @SYSTEM@ on the "IPL" volume. @MCIPL@ The loader microcode will be installed in library @SYSTEM@ on the "BOOTSTRAP" volume. @SYSVER@ Diagnostic Verification Monitor will be installed in library @DIAGST@ on the BOOT volume. @VERDAT@ Diagnostic data file will be installed in library @DIAGST@ on the BOOT/IPL volume. @DGCP11@ CP11 Selftest will be installed in library @DIAGST@ on the BOOT/IPL volume. In the case of CP9 to CP11 upgrade, the @MCRCU@ and @MCIPL@ files that are already present will be RENAMED and kept on the system. @MCRCU@ is renamed to @CP9RCU and @MCIPL@ is renamed to @CP9IPL. The @MCCP11@ file is a new file specific to the CP11 upgrade. The diagnostic files @SYSVER@ and @VERDAT@ that are already present on the system will be SCRATCHED and replaced with the files provided on the software upgrade diskette. @DGCP11@ is a new file specific to the CP11. 3. After the installation procedure has completed, re-IPL (with test) the system as is at this time to ensure that the BOOT/IPL volume is OK. 4. Power down the system and remove the CPU board from the system. If upgrading from a VS 6000 system, remove the CPU key from the CP9 CPU board and install it in the CP11 board. If upgrading from a VS 5000 system, the CP11 board will already have a key installed. If upgrading to a VS 6250, install the 6250 key in the CP11 board. 5. Install the CP11 board and power up the system. IPL (with test) the system using the same volume name and config file used in step 3. 6. Repeat the software upgrade procedure in step 2 for all alternate IPL/BOOT volumes on the system.
