TMF Fallback for Format 2 Files
If you are migrating to G06.32 from G06.24 or later, 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.
For details related to falling back after using these new TMF command options
introduced in G06.24, see the HP NonStop TMF Reference Manual .
Falling Back from TMF 3.3
If you add one or more auxiliary audit trails while TMF is started, you can fall back only
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
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.
For details concerning TNOS and data alignment problems, see Support Note
S02075B.
TCP/IP
Beginning in the G06.30 RVU, a new option is provided to cause XDCMPreconfigure to
deny requests from a remote host. It is disabled by default. If the new feature does not
perform correctly, you can disable it by disabling the ICMP-FILTER-PACKETS
parameter through SCF. Alternatively, you can install the previous version of
T1265/T1268, but this requires a coldload.
