OpenServer 5.0.7V Licenses

The OpenServer 5.0.7V License is a contract that grants you rights to use the OpenServer 5.0.7V software for a limited period of time. An OpenServer 5.0.7V license is required for each instance of OpenServer 5.0.7V running on a Virtual Host.

OpenServer 5.0.7V licenses are Subscription Licenses. This means that they are only valid for, and will expire at the end of the License period. At the end of the License period you will need to renew your license and register it if you want to continue to use the product.

Typically, you obtain OpenServer product licenses from your OpenServer software provider. You can locate an OpenServer software provider using the UnXis Distributor Locator at:

Before installing the OpenServer 5.0.7V Upgrade Supplement

Before you install the OpenServer 5.0.7V Upgrade Supplement you will need to:

Ensure that the system you are upgrading meets the Upgrade Supplement Requirements
Take a backup or snapshot of the OpenServer system you are about to upgrade

Please note that:

The Supplement, when installed will use about 40Mb of space on the root filesystem
Removal of the Upgrade Supplement is not supported

Issues to consider if you are upgrading from OpenServer 5.0.7

If you are upgrading from OpenServer 5.0.7 (as opposed to OpenServer 5.0.7V) then you will need to also take note of the following:

If you install the Upgrade Supplement you are moving from a perpetual license model to a subscription model. Subscription licenses are only valid for, and will expire at the end of the License period. At the end of the License period you will need to renew your license and register it if you want to continue to use the product.
As part of the Upgrade process your Virtual Machine will be licensed with a 7 Evaluation day license (1SOSR507V). You will need to license your server with a valid OpenServer 5.0.7V Cross Grade license if you wish to use the Virtual Machine beyond the Evaluation period.
The OpenServer 5.0.7V Cross Grade license should ONLY be applied to your system once the Upgrade Supplement has been applied to your Virtual Machine.
OpenServer 5.0.7V does not support the BusLogic (blc) device driver. blc does not handle VMware's use of SCSI Busy. As a result data corruption may occur. To prevent data corruption the Upgrade Supplement will switch your blc HBA controlled devices to the LSI Logic (lsil) device driver. You will need to change the SCSI Controller Type to LSI Logic once the Upgrade Supplement has been applied. For details on how to edit your Virtual Machine settings to set the SCSI Controller Type to LSI Logic click here.
OpenServer 5.0.7V Version 3.0.0 includes support, introduced in Version 2.0.0, for Symmetrical Multiprocessing (SMP) on VMware vSphere 4.x and VMware ESXi 4.x platforms. Customers wishing to take advantage of this new feature must install the Symmetrical Multiprocessing product, if it is not already installed, before they install the Upgrade Supplement. For details on how to install the SMP click here.

Issues to consider if you are upgrading from OpenServer 5.0.7V Version 1.0.0 or 2.0.0 for VMware

If you are upgrading from OpenServer 5.0.7V Version 1.0.0 for VMware then you will need to also take note of the following:

OpenServer 5.0.7V Version 3.0.0 has introduced support for Symmetrical Multiprocessing (SMP) on VMware vSphere 4.x and VMware ESXi 4.x platforms. Customers wishing to take advantage of this new feature must install the Symmetrical Multiprocessing product before they install the Upgrade Supplement. For details on how to install the SMP click here.

If you are upgrading from OpenServer 5.0.7V Version 2.0.0 there are no additional considerations.

OpenServer 5.0.7V Upgrade Supplement Installation Requirements

OpenServer 5.0.7V Upgrade Supplement can be installed on:

An OpenServer 5.0.7V Version 1.0.0 or 2.0.0 Virtual Machine running on a supported VMware platform
An OpenServer 5.0.7V Version 1.0.0 or 2.0.0 Virtual Machine running on a supported Microsoft Hyper-V platform
An OpenServer 5.0.7 Virtual Machine with Maintenance Pack 5 applied running on a supported VMware platform
