Upgrading to Release 6.1 7
This section contains an overview of upgrading from Releases 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1,
3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, and 6.0 to Release 6.1.
Upgrade Overview 7
To upgrade to Release 6.1, you must back up, convert, and restore system
programming information. Any version of SPM may be used to perform the
system back up. To convert and restore the system programming back up file,
SPM Version 6.25 or later must be used. You must also have (or install) a
processor module with a PCMCIA memory card slot, and a forced installation
PCMCIA memory card with Release 6.1 system software.
NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:
The version of SPM packaged with Intuity does not support conversion. The
most current version of SPM is available for download from NSAC.
Perform the following tasks:
1. Back up the system programming.
2. Install SPM Version 6.25 or later (if not already installed).
3. Refer to Table 7–1
to determine if the backup file needs to be converted to
Release 6.1 format. If required, convert the backup file. Check the warning
messages regarding Setup Space; determine if you want to accept the files
as Setup Space or not.
4. Power down the system.
5. If the system already has a processor module with a PCMCIA memory card
slot installed, proceed to Step 6
. Otherwise, install a new processor module
in Slot 0 then continue this procedure with Step 7
.
6. If a new processor module was installed in Step 5
, go to Step 7. Otherwise,
insert a Release 6.1 forced installation memory card into the PCMCIA
memory card slot on the processor module.
7. Power up the system. If the Release 6.1 forced installation card was
inserted in Step 6
, a frigid start will occur.
8. Restore the system programming.
9. Program new features.
