Enhancements

• Support for IBM HACMP 5.4 in serial acquisition mode.

Fixes

• Fixes an installation issue that caused HACMP to fail with the following error message when at-

tempting to start up or synchronize:

cldare: Node <node name 1> is not running the same version of HACMP as

node <node name 2>. DARE functionality is supported between nodes run-

ning the same version of HACMP only.

• Fixes an issue in which an XP Cluster Extension resource fails to move from one node to another

when Pair Resync Monitor is enabled. When this occurs, XP Cluster Extension creates an <applic-

ation name>.lock file, and the resource group goes into a temporary error state. This error

occurred because clxchkmon failed to remove the resource from its monitor list.

Prerequisites

• XP Continuous Access Journal Software can only be used on XP24000, XP20000, XP10000, and

XP12000 disk arrays.
