Fallback Considerations If Safeguard is downgraded to an earlier version, the new functionality is not available.
7 Hardware Products HP Integrity NonStop NS2300 Server HP introduces the HP Integrity NonStop NS2300 server with up to 48GB of main memory per NonStop CPU based on the Intel™ Itanium™ 9500 series processor. The NS2300 is an AC-powered server packaged in an HP NonStop Intelligent rack and supports the HP NonStop Operating System J-series RVU of J06.17 or later. For more information about the NS2300, refer to the NonStop NS2300 Planning Guide.
HP Integrity NonStop NS2400 Series Servers HP introduces the HP Integrity NonStop NS2400 servers with up to 48GB of main memory per NonStop CPU based on the Intel™ Itanium™ 9500 series processor. The NonStop NS2400 servers consist of a family of three different platforms, the NS2400, NS2400T, and NS2400ST: • NS2400 is an AC-powered server packaged in an HP commercial rack.
8 Networking Products iTP Secure WebServer 7.5 These features are added for this release: • Support for encrypting exported keys and importing already encrypted keys The keyadmin and dbmigrate utilities now support exporting the keys stored in key database in PKCS#8 format encryption. The keys are encoded using either PEM or DER format and then encrypted using one of AES256/AES192/AES128/3DES encryption methods. Default is AES256. The default encoding algorithm is PEM.
Migration Considerations None. Fallback Considerations • If you use the -hashAlgorithm option and fall back to older versions, the iTP Secure WebServer fails to start. Delete the -hashAlgorithm option from the AcceptSecureTransport directive to start the iTP Secure Webserver. • Older versions of iTP Secure WebServer are not compatible with the MaxPostRequestSize directive. Startup fails if this directive is used.
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).
