Volume Protection Records and OSS File Creation

Starting in G06.26, if you have Safeguard volume-protection records added to prevent

or allow creation of OSS files, they are no longer required for OSS file creation. The

volume protection records can be revised or removed, depending on how they were

designed. If the volume protection records exist as part of a Guardian security policy

and have to be modified to accommodate OSS, the accommodations can now be

removed. For fallback information, see the Interactive Upgrade Guide 2.

WAN Wizard Pro

The NonStop System Console Installer DVD (S7X-SWV2/HNSC-SWV2, Update 4)

includes the WAN Wizard Pro client version 5.00. This client version is compatible with

G06.21 and later SUTs only. If you have to fall back to a pre-G06.21 RVU, you must

deinstall the previous WAN Wizard Pro and reinstall the previous WAN Wizard Pro on

your system console. See the WAN Wizard Pro Support Note S04064 for details.

X25AM

A new SCF line modifier, EMSFORFRMR, is provided so that an EMS message is

displayed when a link reset occurs from a Frame Reject (FRMR) condition on an

X25AM line. The modifier accepts values in the range from 0 to 200. Configure this

SCF modifier with a nonzero value to enable the generation of an EMS message

during an FRMR condition. (By default, the feature is disabled.)

For more information, see the

X25AM Configuration and Management Manual

and the

X25AM Management Programming Manual

ServerNet Cluster

Starting in G06.28, the HP NonStop ServerNet Switch (model 6780) can support the

long-distance option in a three-zone configuration of the layered topology. Prior to

G06.28, the long-distance option was restricted to a two-zone configuration. To use the

new ServerNet Cluster long-distance option in a three-zone configuration, you must

install the G06.28 or later RVU or the T0502G08^AAQ or later SPR.

HP recommends upgrading the NonStop S-Series servers to at least the G06.28 RVU

if the servers will co-exist with NonStop NS-Series servers in the same long-distance

cluster. G06.28 and later contain at least T9050G09^AQB to correct a 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.

If the NonStop S-series servers will co-exist with NonStop BladeSystems in the same

cluster, you must upgrade to SNETMON (T0294AAX or later) and SANMAN

(T0502AAX or later) SPRs that are required for connectivity with BladeSystems. These

SPRs are available with the G06.32 and later RVUs.
