H06.27 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

NonStop Software Essentials 2.1.0
NonStop Software Essentials 2.1.0 is provided on the H06.26 SUT and includes these and other
new features:
• Viewing Upgrouped Packages has been added to the Host Navigation Pane under the Software
in Archive Node. This application-defined group contains a list of all software packages in
the archive that do not currently belong to any user-defined package group.
• $ZTC0 has been removed as a default stack. NonStop Software Essentials 2.1.0 runs on
$ZTCP0 and $ZTCP1 by default. You can add other stacks for use by NonStop Software
Essentials.
For more information about NonStop Software Essentials 2.1.0, see the NonStop Software Essentials
Installation and Quick Start Guide.
Safeguard
Safeguard provides several enhancements for H06.26. For details, see the Safeguard Administrator’s
Manual, the Safeguard Audit Service Manual, the Safeguard Reference Manual, and the Safeguard
Management Programming Manual.
Fallback and migration considerations for new Safeguard features are described in the H06.26
Release Version Update Compendium.
SQL/MX Release 3.2.1
SQL/MX Release 3.2.1 replaces SQL/MX Release 3.2 as the default SQL/MX version on the SUT
starting with H06.26. See the SQL/MX Release 3.2.1 manuals for product details.
NOTE: Starting with SQL/MX Release 3.2, mxtool includes the fixmxcsmd option, which
supports the conversion of the SQL/MX Release 2.3.x CPU list format to the SQL/MX Release
3.2.x CPU list format in the ENVIRONMENTVALUES MXCS metadata table. If you are migrating
directly from SQL/MX Release 2.3.4 to SQL/MX Release 3.2.1, you need to perform the CPU list
format conversion by running the mxtool command with the fixmxcsmd option as described in
the SQL/MX Connectivity Service Manual for SQL/MX Release 3.2.

This section provides information only for new features and changes that might affect the software

CLIM Authlog
For H06.27, the CLIM Authlog feature transports authentication events, which are generated when
any user attempts to login to a CLIM, from the CLIM to the NonStop host system. The events are
formatted and logged as an EMS event under the new EMS collector $ZCLA. See the Cluster I/O
Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual for procedures to retrieve the EMS messages
messages from the $ZCLA collector.
