H06.11 Release Version Update Compendium

6 Manageability Products
The H06.11 RVU contains these new features for manageability products:
• NonStop Secure Shell Server support
• Measure limits removal
• Safeguard enhancements
NonStop Secure Shell Server Support
NonStop Secure Shell (SSH) Server is a new product for H06.11. NonStop SSH Server provides
secure communication between the MR-Win6530 terminal emulator (which replaces OutsideView)
and the NonStop server.
Migration
SSH Server is an optional product, and must be set up for use with MR-Win6530. In terms of
network management, SSH Server uses port 22, so that port must be enabled for SSH Server to
work.
Measure Limits Removal
Measure can now create Enscribe Format 2 data files. This capability enables users to collect
more data per measurement than was previously possible. Users can control the maximum data
file size. In addition, users now have the option to not write data records to the Measure data
file. This feature is useful for the measurements started by performance applications that do not
use the data file but read the active data record directly through Measure Readactive APIs. With
this option, Measure creates a data file only to record configuration information.
The changes are:
• Measure supports measurement data files up to the Enscribe Format 2 limit of approximately
1024 GB. The previous Enscribe Format 1 file limit was 2 GB less 1 MB.
• MEASCOM START, STATUS, and INFO commands and the related Measure callable
procedures enable the user to:
— select the measurement data file size
— suppress counter data records in the measurement data file
— display statistics for very large data files
— determine whether counter data records have been suppressed for a measurement
Migration
• Users cannot use an earlier version of Measure to read a data file created on the H06.11 RVU.
• The new default data size is 1024 MB; the previous default was 127 MB.
• If the new features are not being used, no changes are necessary to any existing applications
or scripts.
Safeguard Logon Without a Password
Safeguard is enhanced to allow users to logon without a password. This feature, known as
PRIV-LOGON, provides a mechanism whereby applications that invoke the
USER_AUTHENTICATE_() procedure to perform user/alias logons can do so without specifying
a password. (This feature contrasts with NORMAL-LOGON, which requires a password.) This
feature also provides a mechanism by which time critical applications are not subjected to the
time delay which can occur during normal authentications upon successive authentication
failures.
