About This Document This compendium provides categorized information about new features, migration issues, and fallback considerations for J06.13. It also includes references and sources for migration planning. Supported Release Version Updates (RVUs) This manual supports the J06.13 RVU only. Intended Audience This compendium is written for system managers or anyone who needs to understand how migrating to J06.
1 J06.13 Overview This chapter provides an overview of the J06.13 RVU. Major New Features Table 1 summarizes the main changes in J06.13. For descriptions of new features, see the appropriate chapters. Table 1 Summary of the J06.

• 8 For the changes that are required to migrate a program from a H-series RVU to an J-series RVU, see the H-Series Application Migration Guide, which covers these migration paths: ◦ Migrating G-series TNS programs to the TNS environment on an H-series RVU ◦ Migrating G-series (TNS/R) native programs to the TNS/E native environment on an H-series or J-series RVU • For compatibility and interoperability between the Integrity NonStop BladeSystems and the Integrity NonStop NS-series server, specific sof
2 Operating System New TACL Parameter Allows You to Bind a Portmapper Process to a Single Subnet This RVU introduces a new TACL parameter, PORTMAPˆBINDˆIP, which allows you to bind a portmapper process to a single subnet. To bind the process to a single subnet instead of the default, INADDR_ANY, set the TACL PORTMAPˆBINDˆIP parameter to an IP address before you start the portmapper process. The IP address must be an IPv4 address in dotted-decimal format.
NOTE: HP recommends that you use DSM/SCM or NonStop Software Essentials to manage your Open System Services files. The default for the Manage OSS Files option in the DSM/SCM planner interface and NonStop Software Essentials is selected for J-series Release Version Updates (RVUs). If you use DSM/SCM or NonStop Software Essentials with the Manage OSS Files option selected, you do not need to perform any additional steps when upgrading to a new RVU or when falling back to a previous RVU.
3 Application Development Products TS/MP 2.5 TS/MP 2.5 is the latest ACS based TS/MP release with the following features: • Faster release of dynamic server links. • Limited support for Pathway domains across nodes. • Faster server shutdown and restart by reducing the server process cleanup time. • Improved CPU utilization and load-balancing after a CPU reload. • Support for large Pathsend dialog messages. • Umask support for OSS servers.
TS/MP 2.5 Support in JToolkit The following features are supported in NonStop Java JToolkit for TS/MP 2.5 release: • Support for context sensitive large Pathsend dialog messages up to 2 MB. • New class introduced is TsmpDialogWide in the package com.tandem.tsmp. Migration Considerations Users need to upgrade their system to TS/MP 2.5 along with latest PThreads supporting TS/MP 2.5 to make use of the above context-sensitive large Pathsend dialog based communication in their application.
4 Database and Transaction Processing Products No new features in the J06.13 RVU.
5 Installation and Configuration Products Availability of NonStop Software Essentials The HP NonStop Software Essentials server component is now available on J06.13 and later SUTs. The NonStop Software Essentials client components for Windows and Linux can be installed from the HP Insight Control for NonStop DVD that ships along with the NonStop System Console Installer DVD. NonStop Software Essentials is a software installation and management tool for all NonStop servers.
6 Manageability and Security Products OSM Enhancements OSM Service Connection (T0682 H02 ACV) enhancements include: • Support for Core Licensing on HP Integrity NonStop NB54000c and NB54000c-CG BladeSystems, including four new actions (including a guided procedure) on the System object, two new attributes on the Logical Processor object, and changes to the Save As System Load Configuration action on the Disk, Disk (Fibre Channel), and CLIM-Attached Disk objects.
• The OBJECTTYPE USER has been enhanced to be granted additional access permissions, namely, WRITE(W) and PURGE(P) in addition to the existing permissions CREATE(C) AND OWNER(O). Granting W permission to a user on the OBJECTTYPE USER access control list allows the user to modify any user’s attributes, including passwords. Granting P permission to a user on the OBJECTTYPE USER access control list allows the user to delete any user on the system, including Super.Super.
7 Hardware Products Core Licensing Introduction As of J06.13 and later RVUs, HP is offering a new option for NonStop BladeSystems NB54000c and NB54000c-cg. This option called core licensing allows you to purchase the system with only 2 cores active in each processor rather than the current default of 4 cores. The 2-core system’s software products will be priced at the same level as the software for NonStop BladeSystems NB50000c and NB50000c-cg.
• NonStop Operations Guide for H-Series or J-Series RVUs • Migrating from NB50000c to NB54000c or NB54000c to NB54000c-cg service procedure Solid State Drives In addition to hard disk drives (HDDs), current SAS disk enclosures that connect to DL380 G6 Storage CLIMs can accomodate solid state drives (SSDs). HDDs and SSDs can co-exist in SAS disk enclosures that support them, with some limitations. SSDs require the J06.13 or later J-series RVU.
• You cannot use the EMULATEFSF option with the VOLUMEMODE restore option. • The option is known to work best with small files, less than 3 MB file size, in a reasonably small sized backup image. With very large average file sizes of about 30 MB and a huge total backup size greater than 19 GB, EMULATEFSF would have negative performance impact. Migration Considerations None. Fallback Considerations None.
8 Networking Products IP Header Packet Filtering Enables configuration support for packet filtering and processing based on examination of the fields in the IP header, as well as the TCP or UDP header. This forms the basis of a packet-filtering firewall and provides the ability to perform more sophisticated processing. Migration Considerations None. Fallback Considerations None. Obeyform Option for Clim Configuration Commands Obeyform generates user configurations of a CLIM in add command(s) format.
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.
