HP NetServer AA Solution Release Notes

You can also run the installation verification procedure manually whenever you want to re-

evaluate the Ethernet bindings. To run the procedure, open an MS-DOS command window and

type

mtcivp. The results will be written to the event log on the IOP from which you run the

procedure. To view the data on the screen as well as in the event logs, use the verbose form of

the command. To do so, type

mtcivp /verbose.

The messages about these findings constitute a new class of HP NetServer AA Solution

messages, the IVP messages. These unprefixed messages are described in Chapter 3 in HP

NetServer AA Solution Messages. They are also listed in these Release Notes in the section IVP

Messages.

Endurance Manager Support for Windows 2000

Starting with Release 3.0 Service Pack 1, Endurance Manager can be installed and run on

computers with the Windows 2000 Professional operating system.

Redirected Gigabit Ethernet Support

Release 3.0 Service Pack 1 includes gigabit Ethernet support for redirected network adapters.

Refer to the Supported Configurations List on the HP NetServer Web site at

http://netserver.hp.com/netserver/products/highlights_assured_avail.asp

for information about the adapters that are qualified to take advantage of this support.

Endurance Performance Monitor

Although HP NetServer AA Solution has multiprocessing on the CEs, the standard Windows

NT Performance Monitor allows you to view only one CE processor (Processor 0). However,

Release 3.0 Service Pack 1 includes the Endurance Performance Monitor, a plug-in for the

standard Windows NT Performance Monitor that enables it to display the activity of the second

CE processor. In Release 3.0 Service Pack 1, the Endurance Performance Monitor is

implemented in English only.

The HP NetServer AA Solution plug-in adds the Endurance Processor object to the existing set

of supported objects, thus enabling the monitoring of the HP NetServer AA Solution server’s

use of Processor 1. The Endurance Processor object contains the

% Processor 1 Time counter.
