Visual Inspect
Pathsend users using TS/MP 2.0. It does not apply to SCOBOL users or TS/MP 3.0
users.
Migration
In general, all TS/MP 2.0 applications that use Pathsend requestors and TS/MP 2.0
scripts (also called OBEY files) can run in a TS/MP 2.1 environment. However, you
might need to modify the PATHMON process configuration to achieve optimum TS/MP
2.1 performance.
New ACS processes must be started via SCF at system startup and must be
managed. These processes are $ZPnn, $ZLnn, and $ZCSnn.
For details on these issues, see the TS/MP Supplement for Limits Relief.
Fallback
Consult the Global Customer Support Center (GCSC) if you have installed TS/MP 2.1
and run applications that use Pathsend requestors, and then decide to fall back to
TS/MP 2.0.
Visual Inspect
If you use Visual Inspect, you must restart the Inspect Monitor process ($IMON) every
time you restart the system.
ServerNet Cluster
Starting in H06.05, the HP NonStop ServerNet Switch (model 6780) can support the
long-distance option in a three-zone configuration of the layered topology. Before this
RVU, the long-distance option was restricted to a two-zone configuration. To use the
ServerNet cluster long-distance option in a three-zone configuration, you must install
the H06.05 or later H-series RVU or the T0502H01^AAP or later SPR.
HP recommends upgrading the Integrity NonStop NS-series servers to the H06.05 or
later H-series RVU if the servers will be connected to a long-distance ServerNet
Cluster. If the long-distance cluster also contains NonStop S-series servers, HP
recommends upgrading those servers to the G06.28 or later G-series RVU. H-series
RVUs starting with H06.05 contain T9050H02^AQD or later, and G-series RVUs
starting with G06.28 contain T9050G09^AQB or later. These two T9050 SPRs correct
a performance defect that affects Inter-Processor Communication (IPC) long-distance
cluster transfers to and from Integrity NonStop NS-series servers. For details, see the
T9050H02^AQD and T9050G09^AQB softdocs.
Other than the T0502H02^AAP or later SPR, a three-zone long-distance configuration
requires the same SPRs as a two-zone long-distance configuration.
