TNS/R CRE Heap Manager (G06.15)

The G06.15 RVU introduced a new heap manager, NSK CRE/RTL (T1269), an

alternative to the Native CRE/RTL product (T8431). Either heap manager can be

chosen during the creation of a system configuration revision. Consequently, the

choice of which one to install is an independent decision for your system. See Support

Note S02001 for migration considerations and S03104 for installation instructions.

Note that if you are installing and using OSM, HP recommends that the NSK CRE/RTL

(T1269) product be installed on the system, as opposed to the Native CRE/RTL

(T8431), which is the default. Refer to the Support Note S02001 for migration

considerations for T1269.

TSM Client and Server Software (G06.22, G06.23, G06.24,

G06.25)

Part of the G06.25 installation process may involve upgrading your system console to

TSM client software Version 2004A.

If you have to fall back to an earlier RVU after installing G06.25, you can continue to

use TSM client software Version 2004A on your system console.

TSM does not support or adequately support these new features, beginning with the

G06.21 RVU:

•

Online disk remirroring (ODR) (G06.21). Only OSM automatically recognizes

online remirrored disks. TSM can recognize online remirrored disks only if $ZTSM

is aborted and then restarted.

•

HP NonStop ServerNet cluster (G06.21). HP recommends using the OSM Service

Connection (rather than the TSM Service Application) for all systems that are part

of an HP NonStop ServerNet cluster.

•

HP Ultrium Linear Tape Open (LTO) Tape Drive (introduced in the G06.21 RVU).

•

The new DAT (digital audio tape) drive for use on NonStop S-Series systems

compatible with G06.23.

•

The 1/O adapter module (IOAM) enclosure (introduced in the G06.24 RVU) and its

related components for use on S76000 NonStop S-Series systems and above.

•

Enterprise Storage System (ESS).

•

The CT9841FC-x tape drive (introduced in G06.24), which is a replacement for the

CT9840FC-x tape products.

Caution. You cannot simultaneously use both heap managers (T8431 and T1269) on the

same system.

Note.

HP recommends that you always install the latest TSM server SPR and client and that you

install at least the G06.24 client and server SPRs before performing an online boot code update.
