TMF Fallback from G06.26
See the Interactive Upgrade Guide for a complete summary of TMF features.
TMF Fallback for Format 2 Files
If you are migrating to G06.26 from G06.24 or from G06.25, there are no migration
issues. If you are on a pre-G06.24 RVU and you do not plan to make changes to the
TMF audit-trail configuration, there are no issues related to fallback associated for
TMF. However, if you are on a pre-G06.24 RVU and you do plan to change the audit-
trail configuration, such as altering the file size of a given trail or changing the audit-trail
configuration to use format 2 files, you must understand the fallback issues.
After you execute either the ALTER AUDITTRAIL command with the new FILESIZE
option, or the ALTER TMF command with the new ATFORMAT option, you must then
follow certain fall back steps precisely. For example, if you have to fall back, you might
have to execute a DELETE TMF command if you altered the audit-trail format.
Refer to the HP NonStop TMF Supplement for Large Audit-Trail Files for details related
to falling back after using these new TMF command options introduced in G06.24.
Falling Back from TMF 3.3
If you add one or more auxiliary audit trails while TMF is started, you can only fall back
to G06.24 or a later RVU because the TMF audit reading facilities prior to the G06.24
RVU cannot handle auxiliary pointer (AUXPTR) records that specify a variable number
of audit trails. (Once configured, the number of audit trails generally remains constant).
TNOS Server and TNOS Utility (G06.17)
The TNOS Server (T8666) and the TNOS Utility (T8667), two components of HP
NonStop ODBC/MP, have been updated in G06.17 and later to correct data alignment
problems. To avoid data alignment problems, users of the TNOS Server and TNOS
Utility who are migrating to an RVU before G06.17 must also upgrade their TNOS
Server and TNOS Utility to these new versions:
•
T8666ACL or later (for TNOS Server)
•
T8667ACL or later (for TNOS Utility)
For post installation instructions, see the appropriate PVU softdoc. New EMS
templates are required for the T8666D35 PVU.
The marketing ID is SJ08V1, and the IP name is NonStop ODBC Server and Client.
See S02075B for details concerning TNOS and data alignment problems.
