About This Guide
This guide is intended for network and system administrators, application
programmers, and IT professionals seeking an overview of the migration
considerations for NonStop TCP/IPv6. Network and system administrators who are
going to configure the NonStop TCP/IPv6 environment and application programmers
who plan to use NonStop TCP/IPv6 should use this guide to find out about any
migration issues that affect their configuration or applications.
This guide provides information about migrating your NonStop TCP/IP applications and
your Parallel Library TCP/IP applications to the NonStop TCP/IPv6 environment
including current restrictions of NonStop TCP/IPv6 and management considerations.
This guide assumes that you have a working knowledge of industry-standard TCP/IP,
and are familiar with HP NonStop S-series server and NonStop NS-series server
architecture, NonStop TCP/IP or Parallel Library TCP/IP, and the ServerNet LAN
systems access (SLSA) subsystem.
How This Guide is Organized
Use this manual as follows:
Use Section 1, Introduction, to obtain a brief overview of the features offered by
NonStop TCP/IPv6, definitions, system requirements, product components and product
numbers, an overview of the main differences between NonStop TCP/IP and NonStop
TCP/IPv6 and the differences between Parallel Library TCP/IP and NonStop TCP/IPv6,
and the constraints of NonStop TCP/IPv6.
Use Section 2, Transport-Service Provider Differences for NonStop TCP/IPv6, to learn
about TCP6SAM, the socket access method provided by NonStop TCP/IPv6 for
backward-compatibility with existing NonStop TCP/IP applications.
Use Section 3, Migration Considerations, to get more detailed information about the
differences between NonStop TCP/IP and NonStop TCP/IPv6 and between Parallel
Library TCP/IP and NonStop TCP/IPv6.
Finally, use Section 4, Procedures for Migrating to NonStop TCP/IPv6, for an overview
of migrating applications to NonStop TCP/IPv6.
