HP NetServer AA 6200 Solution Release Notes (Release 3.0 Service Pack 1)

HP NetServer AA Solution Release Notes

• Debug tools that use drivers or have application code tied to hardware performance

counters may cause the HP NetServer AA Solution server to hang or crash. Generally, by

following these guidelines you can avoid problems associated with debug tools:

- Do not run user-level debug tools such as WinDbg and Softice on the CEs.

- Do not use kernel mode (remote) debugging because they are not supported on the

CEs.

- Do not run development tools such as VTUNE (a performance application) on the

CEs.

Documentation Errata

HP NetServer AA Solution documentation does not include a definition of the term “rail.” Add

the following definition of this term to your Glossary.

Rail — A pair of NIC cards, one in each IOP, used by the CE operating system to create

one redundant network connection.

Note:The redundancy used in creating rails is not adapter teaming, which is not

supported on HP NetServer AA Solution servers.

Note the following corrections to your HP NetServer AA Solution documentation:

• In the HP NetServer AA Solution Administrator’s Guide, there is an error in Table 1-1.

The description of Industry-standard hardware platform incorrectly states that HP

NetServer AA Solution supports Pentium II- and Pentium III-based system hardware. The

description should state that HP NetServer AA Solution supports only Pentium III-based

system hardware.

• In the HP NetServer AA Solution Administrator’s Guide, on page 177 and page 192, the

discussion about invoking the

mtcconfig -netinfo and mtceinfo commands is

misleading.

At the MS-DOS prompt, you cannot type the commands as described.

HP NetServer AA Solution commands are located in the folder

\Program

Files\Marathon Endurance

. Refer to Endurance_APP_DATA Environment Variable for

information about how to use the new ENDURANCE_APP_DATA environment variable to

compensate the default search path for ease in accessing commands and utilities.

• In the HP NetServer AA Solution Administrator’s Guide, in Installing the Adapters in the

IOPs, the instructions about using MTCFLASH to update the MICs need additional

clarification.
