Migration
There are no migration considerations specific to the quality password feature.
However, a mitigation procedure is available for handling any unexpected failures that
might occur during migration. This procedure preserves the user or password database
that is necessary to restore the original system user or alias database.
Once the new version is installed, use the new PWCONFIG utility to modify the
appropriate attributes if you do not want to accept the new default values.
1. Use VPROC to determine the current versions of:
•
OSMP
•
OSMON
•
SAFEART
•
SAFECOM
2. Back up current Safeguard files ($*.SAFE.*, $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.USERID, and
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.USERAX).
You can restore the files backed up in the previous steps if any unexpected failures
occur during migration.
For more details, see Section 10 of the Safeguard Administrator's Manual.
Fallback
Embedded spaces in passwords are not supported in pre-H06.09 RVUs. Any user with
a password that contains embedded spaces will be unable to login after fallback.
Considerations for falling back to H06.08 are:
•
The super ID password must not contain embedded blanks.
•
PASSWORD-COMPATIBILITY-MODE must be set to ON.
•
Users whose password contains embedded spaces must request a new password.
When falling back to a pre-H06.08 RVU, there are additional steps you must follow
because of the longer password feature introduced in H06.08. For details, see the
H06.09 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.
FC SNIA Library
The FC SNIA Library provides selected functionalities of the Common HBA API. It is a
C library interface that is used by applications managing system area networks (SAN)
to obtain required information from host bus adapters (HBAs). On NonStop systems, it
is used to query the FCSA controller. The FC SNIA Library interacts with the Storage
Subsystem Manager through the standard SPI interface.
In the H06.09 RVU, the FC SNIA Library supports only the QLogic ISP2312 HBA,
which is currently the only HBA supporting Fibre Channel (FC) devices on NonStop
systems.
