Hotstuff Messages
Hotstuff messages are sent by the ExpressNotice service to describe a defect with
unusually serious consequences and the steps you can take to avoid or prevent the
problem. The types of Hotstuff messages are:
•
Outage Prevention Notifications (OPNs)
•
SPR Recall and Withdrawal messages
•
General messages
Hotstuff messages are also available through TIM Support Collections and Scout for
NonStop Servers.
