Benefits of Upgrading to G06.14 (Release 3) Functionality
Upgrading to G06.14 or upgrading to G06.13 and applying the SPRs listed in Table 4-6
on page 4-8 adds functions, including:
•
Support for the star, split-star, and tri-star topologies, including up to 24 nodes in a
cluster using the tri-star topology
•
Automatic link fail-over for split-star and tri-star topologies
•
New TSM actions
•
New guided procedures
•
New SCF command options for the external ServerNet SAN manager process
(SANMAN)
•
New SCF command options for the ServerNet cluster monitor process
(SNETMON)
Benefits of Upgrading to G06.16 Functionality
G06.16 includes SPRs that provide significant defect repair. Table 4-2 lists the G06.16
ServerNet cluster SPRs. However, these SPRs do not add new topologies or new
commands and do not constitute a new ServerNet cluster release. For more
information, refer to the softdoc for each SPR.
Note. Upgrading the operating system to G06.13 or a later G-series RVU is required only if
you need to configure a tri-star topology. Otherwise, you might be able to apply the Release 3
(G06.14) SPRs to G06.09 through G06.12 to obtain defect repair and enhancements such as
automatic fail-over for the split-star topology. For availability of these SPRs on earlier RVUs,
check with your HP representative.
