About This Document This compendium provides categorized information about new features, migration issues, and fallback considerations for H06.26. It also includes references and sources for migration planning. Supported Release Version Updates (RVUs) This manual supports the H06.26 RVU only. Intended Audience This compendium is written for system managers or anyone who needs to understand how migrating to H06.
1 H06.26 Overview This chapter provides an overview of the H06.26 RVU. Major New Features Table 1 summarizes the main changes in H06.26. For descriptions of new features, see the appropriate chapters. Table 1 Summary of the H06.
guides can be found in the HP NonStop Technical Library (NTL) located in the Business Support Center (BSC). • For an H-series overview, see Section 1 of the H06.
2 Operating System OSS Security Event-Exit Process (SEEP) The H06.26 RVU provides support for a customer or partner Open System Services Security Event-Exit Process (OSS SEEP) that participates in access-control decisions for OSS objects. An OSS SEEP provides additional file-access authorization for Version 3 catalog filesets that are OSS SEEP-protected. This capability increases the acceptability of OSS-based applications to security auditors and improves OSS security manageability.
• creat() • creat64() • lchown() • open() • open64() • unlink() • utime() For information about the changes, see the Open System Services System Calls Reference Manual. Migration Considerations None. Fallback Considerations OSS applications on systems running H06.25 or earlier H-series RVUs cannot access Guardian files on SMF logical volumes. Disk Space Analysis Program (DSAP) The H06.26 RVU enhances DSAP by displaying Guardian to OSS filename mappings with the SHOWPATH DETAIL option.
3 Application Development Products NonStop Server for Java 7.0 NonStop Server for Java 7.0 (NSJ7) provides the following new features: • Supports 64-bit JRE/JDK in addition to 32-bit JRE/JDK. A new product number T2866 has been introduced to provide the 64-bit functionality. • Installable using DSM/SCM (both 32-bit (T2766) and 64-bit JRE/JDK (T2866)). • HPjmeter Agents (T0866) and TZupdater (T0911) are also available for installation via DSM/SCM.
• X.509 Certificate Token Profile • WS-Security Policy Version 1.1 Migration Considerations None. Fallback Considerations None. NonStop SOAP 4.
4 Database and Transaction Processing Products SQL/MX Release 3.2.1 The SQL/MX Release 3.2.1 includes key features, such as: Support for sequence generators A sequence generator is a database object that generates unique sequential values. MXDM and BR2 are enhanced to support sequence generators. • MXDM ◦ T2860 (GUI to connect and manage SQL/MX) ◦ Windows installer location: $SYSTEM.
Interoperability SQL/MX 3.2.1 interoperates with SQL/MX 3.2. NSJ 7.0 support SPJ, JDBC/MX T2 (32-bit, 64-bit), and T4 drivers require NSJ7.0. • • NOTE: JDBC/MX T2 Driver ◦ T1275 (JDBC Type 2 Driver) ◦ Pax file location: $SYSTEM.ZOSSUTL ◦ Filename: T1275PAX JDBC/MX T4 Driver ◦ T1249 (JDBC Type 4 Driver) ◦ Tar file location: $SYSTEM.ZMXODBC ◦ Filename: T1249TAR The upgrade will not affect the standard RVU Installation procedure.
If you wish to fall back to a release older than the SQL/MX Release 3.2, you must undo all the changes done while upgrading (such as downgrading the database or recompiling the applications) to a higher release. All metadata must be downgraded while the system is running SQL/MX Release 3.2.1 to a version that is supported by the target release for the fallback. TMF 3.7 The following TMF products are modified to run at high pin. All of these products run at high pin by default.
5 Installation and Configuration Products The H06.26 RVU contains no new features for installation and configuration products.
6 Manageability and Security Products OSM Enhancements OSM Service Connection (T0682 H02 ADD) enhancements include: • Support for Gen8 CLIMs. • Display of the Firmware Version attribute on the CLIM Hard Disk. • SSL is now enabled for by default for all H-series systems; with T0682 H02 ADD and later, you no longer have to enable SSL through an OSMCONF setting for H-series systems.
Fallback Considerations None. Safeguard V5R1 Safeguard V5R1 has the following new features: • A new attribute TIMEOUT-ALL-AUTHZREQ is introduced as part of the SEEP management commands to support the timeout concept for deniable users. The client auditing functionality will be fulfilled by the Safeguard helper process instead of the Safeguard monitor process. • Audit of the originating (client) IP address is logged if a user gets connected to the NonStop system either through Telnet or FTP clients.
7 Hardware Products The H06.26 RVU contains no new features for hardware products.
8 Networking Products Expand Auto Rebalance Control Option This enhancement is implemented to manage auto-rebalance triggered when a path experiences transient failure. This inadvertent rebalance causes duplication of messages while they are being processed by the remote application. To circumvent the situation and control initiation of the rebalance, a new modifier REBALTHRESHOLD is introduced, which defines the optimal threshold time below which NCP would not initiate rebalance.
Fallback Considerations Enhancements implemented in this release do not introduce any fallback issues.
A Sources for Migration Assistance and Information This appendix describes the assistance HP provides when problems arise during the migration and testing process. HP also provides services that can help you develop a migration plan and implement migration tasks. Most migration and release documentation is available through the HP NonStop Technical Library (NTL).
By providing access to a data warehouse with SPR information for many different RVUs, Scout makes SPR analysis fast, easy, and accurate.
