About This Document This compendium provides categorized information about new features, migration issues, and fallback considerations for J06.11. It also includes references and sources for migration planning. Supported Release Version Updates (RVUs) This manual supports the J06.11 RVU only. Intended Audience This compendium is written for system managers or anyone who needs to understand how migrating to J06.
Include the document title, part number, and any comment, error found, or suggestion for improvement you have concerning this document.
1 J06.11 Overview This chapter provides an overview of the J06.11 RVU. Major New Features Table 1 summarizes the main changes in J06.11. For descriptions of new features, see the appropriate chapters. Table 1 Summary of the J06.
Table 1 Summary of the J06.11 RVU (continued) Sections and Categories Major New Features Migration Alerts Fallback Alerts Chapter 6: Manageability • “HPMS OSM ACL Enhancements” (page 15) Products HPMS OSM ACLs enable customers to supply access control lists for OSM so they can open up or close down use of some OSM actions to different sets of users.
Table 1 Summary of the J06.11 RVU (continued) Sections and Categories Major New Features • “OSS Samba for NonStop” (page 20) Migration Alerts Fallback Alerts X X Samba on NonStop: The NonStop port of Samba (NonStop Samba) provides file services to Microsoft Windows clients, enabling seamless access to shared portions of the NonStop OSS file system. Products Removed From the Site Update Tape (SUT) No products are removed from the SUT at J06.11.
2 Operating System OSS File Privileges (Safeguard V4R11) • OSS Filesets have a new attribute, RESTRICTEDACCESS, that, when set, restricts the access privileges of the super ID. When accessing a file in a restricted-access fileset, the super ID (255,255 in the Guardian environment, 65535 in the OSS environment) is restricted by the same file permissions and owner privileges as any other user ID: It has no special privileges unless the executable file started by the super ID has the PRIVSETID file privilege.
3 Application Development Products OSS FLOSS HP introduces support for Freeware Look for OSS (FLOSS). FLOSS is a set of commands and libraries that aid in porting packages to NonStop systems. The FLOSS package is required only if you are porting a software package to NonStop systems. See the FLOSS on NonStop User Manual for more information. Migration Considerations Installation of one version overwrites the previous version installed on the system.
4 Database and Transaction Processing Products Enscribe64 Partitions As of the J06.11 RVUs, a new Enscribe file type, enhanced key-sequenced (EKS) file, is introduced and extends the Enscribe partition maximum to 64. An EKS file supports 17 to 64 partitions and is for format 2 files only. The previous Enscribe key-sequenced file type supports 1 to 16 partitions on format 1 and 2 files and is referred to as a classic key-sequenced file in the Enscribe documentation.
TMF Enhancements The following PIOBUFFER parameters of the ALTER TMF command are enhanced: • maxpiosperbuffer – It can be set to dynamic so that TMF can adjust the maxpiosperbuffer value based on the message packet activity. To use the dynamic feature, you can either set maxpiosperbuffer to -1 or use the keyword Dynamic. • piodelaytimer – The value of piodelaytimer, in microseconds, is rounded up to the nearest millisecond. Migration Considerations None. Fallback Considerations None.
5 Installation and Configuration Products The J06.11 RVU contains no new features for installation and configuration products.
6 Manageability Products HPMS OSM ACL Enhancements OSM Service Connection (T0682H02^ACJ) adds support for: • Integrity NonStop NB54000 BladeSystems. • Controlling user privileges for performing OSM actions through the new Access Control List feature in the OSM Service Connection. Migration Considerations None. Fallback Considerations None.
management privileges over normal users, such as the ability to set file privileges for Guardian and OSS files and set or reset the RESTRICTEDACCESS attribute of the OSS filesets. No firmware updates are required. For more information about restricted-access filesets and file privileges, see the Open System Services Management and Operations Guide. Migration Considerations None. Fallback Considerations None. NonStop SSH As of J06.
7 Hardware Products Integrity NonStop NB54000c BladeSystem The Integrity NonStop NB54000c BladeSystem provides a full-height server blade that features an Intel® Itanium® 9300 quad-core processor. The Integrity NonStop NB54000c supports Flex Processor Bay Configuration, a platform configuration that allows a choice of either sequential or even/odd numbering of processors in an HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystem NB54000c.
New storage devices compatible with the CLIM: • HP D2700 commercial disk enclosure ◦ 6Gb SAS host interface – 4x wide 6Gb/s per port – SFF-8088 port ◦ 6Gb SAS backplane ◦ 25, 2.5” disk drives bays ◦ Dual SAS domains ◦ Redundant power supplies and fans ◦ Field upgradeable firmware ◦ Supports new 6Gb SAS disk drives and the currently shipping 3Gb, 2.5” SAS disk drives Configurations are similar to G5 CLIM configurations.
8 Networking Products iTP WebServer 7.3 Enhancements New features in iTP WebServer 7.3 are: • Name-based virtual hosting • New MIME types to support Java scripts and Cascaded Style Sheets • A CGI library compiled using neutral floating point Migration Considerations None. Fallback Considerations None. SSOCLIM Script As of J06.11, the SSOCLIM script run during a re-image of the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) no longer requires SUPER.SUPER access. Now, any SUPER group user can run SSOCLIM.
Migration Considerations None. Fallback Considerations None. OSS Samba for NonStop HP introduces support for Samba on NonStop. The Samba on NonStop (NonStop Samba) is a port of Samba, the free software re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol, on the NonStop systems. It provides file services to Microsoft Windows clients, enabling seamless access to the shared portions of the NonStop OSS file-system. For more information, see the Samba on NonStop User Manual.
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.
