•
Revision History indicates revisions made to this softdoc. For example:
Revision History:
# Rev.-Date Description of changes in each revision
1 07OCT2004 Added New Features 23
2 07OCT2004 Deleted reference to T0394ABA.Correct
reference should be T0394G10.
3 10OCT2004 Changed reference of Requisite PVU T9053APF
to T9053APJ (if running G06.24 or later).
•
Summary indicates the significant new features and defect repairs introduced
since the first customer shipment of the previous revision of the product. For
example:
The LLC2ENABLED attribute is supported for LLC1 ports on PAM
over Ethernet. The SCF Primary command can be used to switch
CPU when the Line is in STARTED state. This release also
fixes some problems related to trace, lobe wire fault and
errors from SNAX.
•
Superseded PVUs lists superseded SPRs in alphabetic order (for example, AAE,
AAH, AAP, AAS). All distributed files and all fixes and features, except those that
are officially withdrawn, that are in the superseded SPR will be in the superseding
SPR. See also Superseded SPRs on page 1-5.
If you are currently using a superseded SPR and are considering moving to a
newer revision, either by upgrading to a new RVU or installing a newer SPR, use
this information to determine whether you can do so without risking a known
regression.
•
Requisite PVUs lists any requisite SPRs. These SPRs can be for the same
product as the requiring SPR, but are typically for a different product.
A requisite PVU is either an SPR that provides specific function or data that must
be present in a software configuration for a specific fix or feature in a requiring
SPR to be fully functional (assuming you use the requisite product), or an SPR that
is required when using the requiring SPR to maintain compatibility with another
product. See also Requisite SPRs
on page 1-6.
•
Required Hardware lists the servers on which the SPR runs. This section might
also list controllers and devices with which the SPR operates.
•
Required Firmware lists requisite firmware SPRs required for this SPR at run
time. A requisite SPR is a one that provides specific function or data that must be
Note. Do not depend on suffixes or dates to indicate whether an SPR contains the
features and corrections of another SPR for the same or a different product version.
For example, a product such as the I/O Driver (T9753) might release two distinct sets of
files: one set for a series of tape process SPRs, such as AAA, AAC, and AAE, and another
set for a series of disk process SPRs, such as AAB and AAD. In this case, AAC would not
contain the fixes contained in AAB.
