3 Application Development Products The H06.07 RVU contains new features for these application development products: • • Code Coverage Tool Native Inspect Code Coverage Tool The code generator used by COBOL, pTAL, and C/C++ compilers on Integrity NonStop NS-series servers now has the capability to create instrumented object files. Such object files contain extra code that records which functions and basic blocks are executed, and how many times each is executed.
Migration and Installation Application Development Products • HSB14, PTAL Cross Compiler Caution. The Code Coverage Tool is intended for data generation and collection in a test environment only. The use of cover enabled code is not recommended for production environments. Applications compiled with the code coverage instrumentation will suffer greatly reduced performance.
Application Development Products • • • ° ° ° ° ° ° Native Inspect step, stepi next, nexti finish list print x The catch command now has an option to suspend execution on the loading or unloading of a DLL. The COBOL concatenation operator (&) is supported. Aggregate assignment (using braces) for COBOL tables is supported. H06.

5 Installation and Configuration Products The H06.07 RVU contains a new feature for this installation and configuration product: • DSM/SCM DSM/SCM DSM/SCM now supports cloning to simplify the use of DSM/SCM for installation and management of multiple NonStop systems with identical hardware and software configurations. In DSM/SCM, you can create a clone group, consisting of a master system and one or more clone systems.

6 Manageability Products The H06.07 RVU contains new features for these manageability products: • • • • Measure OSM Safeguard SPI Measure Measure introduces the MEASFT utility, which splits a measurement data file into multiple data files, according to user-specified criteria such as entity type or CPU. Measurement configuration, start/stop records, and any applicable journal data are written to each of the resultant files.
Safeguard Manageability Products Select this new version only if all enclosures have been updated with a new PIB-toPIB crossover cable (FCO 44440). • The default test interval for the new power-scrub version is 7 days instead of 24 hours. To change the test interval, add this line in $SYSTEM.ZSERVICE.OSMCONF: DailyScrubTestingInterval = n, where n is the number of days between power-scrub tests, up to a maximum value of 30 days.
7 Hardware Products The H06.07 RVU contains new features for these hardware products: • • 300 GB Fibre Channel Disk Drive Field Memory Upgrade for Integrity NonStop Servers 300 GB Fibre Channel Disk Drive The H06.07 RVU supports the 300 GB 15K RPM Fibre Channel disk drive (model M8400-30) in the Fibre Channel disk module. This disk drive is available only after H06.07 is shipped. Fallback Falling back to a previous RVU causes data stored on the 300 GB Fibre Channel disk drive to become inaccessible.

8 Networking Products The H06.07 RVU contains new features for this networking product: • SWAN SWAN The WAN Line Check (WANLNCK) program enables you to check the quality of the communication link between a SWAN or SWAN2 concentrator and a modem. WANLNCK supports the external loopback test for the SWAN and SWAN 2 concentrators. The external loopback test checks the WAN port pins of a SWAN or SWAN 2 concentrator and the connection between the SWAN or SWAN 2 concentrator and a local or a remote modem.
