combination of both local and remote failover recovery for X.25 over
LLC2 interfaces. Remote failover requires the HP MC/ Service Guard

product.
Benefits
Support of X.25 over LLC2 support enables a significant performance as
as typically LAN cards support 100Mbps (megabits per sec.) in
comparison to the 2 Mbps per X.25 interface.
The OLAR feature provides the ability to replace/add PCI I/O cards of
similar kinds on a HP-UX system without the need for completely
shutting down and then re-booting the system or affecting other system
components. The system hardware uses the per-slot power control
combined with operating system support to enable this feature.
Fixes
See the section, “Patches and Fixes in this Version” for a list of the fixes
included in this version.
