HP NetServer AA Solution Release Notes
HP NetServer AA Solution Enhancements in Release 3.0
Service Pack 1
Release 3.0 Service Pack 1 includes a number of enhancements to the Release 3.0 HP NetServer
AA Solution software.
Support for 4 Gigabytes of Memory
Release 3.0 Service Pack 1 includes support for 4 gigabytes of memory in the CEs.
Endurance_APP_DATA Environment Variable
Beginning with Release 3.0, HP NetServer AA Solution uses a new installation path to comply
with Microsoft’s direction that programs install within the
\Program Files path for
compliance with Windows 2000. Due to this installation path change, customers who had
written scripts to take advantage of the previous HP NetServer AA Solution installation path
might find that their scripts no longer work as expected.
Starting in Release 3.0 Service Pack 1, HP recommends the use of the
ENDURANCE_APP_DATA
environment variable to compensate scripts for the new installation path. Using this
environment variable, scripts can locate the HP NetServer AA Solution utilities on any language
variation of Windows NT. To take advantage of this capability, take the following steps:
Installation Verification Procedure
Release 3.0 Service Pack 1 introduces an Installation Verification Procedure for Ethernet
bindings. Each time an IOP boots, this procedure runs automatically, evaluating the server’s
Ethernet bindings and reporting its findings to the event log on the local IOP.
Step Action Notes
1 Verify the existence of a system environment variable to
each IOP and the CE environment.
The Endurance installation process
automatically adds the variable
%ENDURANCE_APP_PATH%. This
variable reflects the path
“c:\Program Files\Marathon
Endurance”.
2 Edit each script so that the first non-comment line is:
if NOT “%ENDURANCE_APP_PATH%”==““set
path=%ENDURANCE_APP_PATH%;%path%
