H06.25 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

Guardian applications that use file attributes such as file format and maximum size are likely to
be affected. These programs might fail when unexpected values are returned (such as Format 2 if
only Format 1 is expected).
If a Format 2 file does cause a program to fail, the programmer can do one of the following:
• Change the program to accept Format 2 files.
• Protect the program by converting the file to Format 1 using the following commands:
FUP CREATE TEMP, FORMAT-1, TYPE U, CODE 180, &
EXT (28,1400), MAXTENTS 749
FUP COPY MYFILE, TEMP
FUP PURGE MYFILE
FUP RENAME TEMP, MYFILE
• Protect the program by creating a Format 1 file, then appending the desired data to the file.
For example, replace the command:
cp myfile /G/mydisk/mysubvol/myfile
with the commands:
gtacl -c ’FUP CREATE $mydisk.mysubvol.myfile, FORMAT 1, &
TYPE U, ODDUNSTR, CODE 180, EXT (28,1400), MAXTENTS 749’
cat myfile >> /G/mydisk/mysubvol/myfile
Upgrading Visual Inspect Client to Version 3.x
If you are currently running Visual Inspect client version 2.x, upgrading to version 3.x is optional.
However, to get the full benefit of the features and performance of the H-series Visual Inspect servers
and client, you must upgrade to Visual Inspect client version 3.x. If you do plan to upgrade Visual
Inspect client, HP recommends that you upgrade to the latest version.
NetBatch
New NetBatch features require that Enform Plus (T0295) be installed on your system. If Enform
Plus is not installed or licensed, an error occurs.
Safeguard: Changed Attribute Defaults
The default values of certain attributes have been changed in the H03 version of Safeguard and
Standard Security in order to increase the “out of box” password security. Customers who do not
wish to adopt the new defaults can follow the normal migration steps for Safeguard. Customers
using Standard Security alone are impacted by this change.
Attributes specific to Safeguard configuration are:
New Default ValuePrevious Default ValueAttribute
ONOFFPASSWORD-ENCRYPT
60PASSWORD-MINIMUM-LENGTH
Attributes specific to the PASSWORD utility of Standard Security are:
New Default ValuePrevious Default ValueAttribute
ONOFFENCRYPTPASSWORD
60MINPASSWORDLEN
BLINDOFFPROMPTPASSWORD
All attributes are applied as each user changes their password.
