SMF
performance defect that affects IPC (Inter-Processor Communication) long-distance
cluster transfers to and from NonStop NS-Series servers. For details, see the
T9050G09^AQB softdoc.
Other than the T0502G08^AAQ or later SPR, a three-zone long-distance configuration
requires the same SPRs as a two-zone long-distance configuration.
SMF
Beginning in the G06.28 RVU, SMFINTRFCE (T0063) is merged into the SMF (T8472)
product. The merging of these T-numbers can cause a problem if you are installing the
SMF bundle (T8472G07^ACV or later) on a pre-G06.28 system without installing the
entire SUT. (The problem does not occur if you are installing the entire G06.28 or later
SUT.)
The problem occurs because the merged version of SMF and the existing T0063
component in your current (pre-G06.28) RVU both attempt to place the file ZSMFC in
the ZSPIDEF subvolume. This attempt results in a “duplicate file was found” error
during the DSM/SCM installation of T8472G07^ACV or later.
You can avoid this problem by manually removing T0063 before the upgrade, as
follows: During the upgrade operation, DSM/SCM detects the duplicate SMF
components and generates a message indicating that T0063 is already present in your
current configuration. DSM/SCM then prompts you to either retain or remove it.
Respond to this prompt by requesting removal of T0063.
