ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for Archive/Backup System V3.2 on OpenVMS VAX V6.2
through V7.3 and OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V7.3. This kit
addresses the following problems:
This kit contains a version update of the Remote Device Facility (RDF)
software. This update RDF V4.3G supersedes RDF V4.3A which was included
with Storage Library System V2.9D/F and Archive Backup System V3.2 and V3.1A.
Remote Device Facility is a trademark of Touch Technologies, Inc. who
developed and maintain the software.
This kit may be applied to systems running the following version(s) of
Storage Library System (SLS) or Media and Device Management Services (MDMS):
SLS Versions ABS Versions
------------ ------------
SLS V2.9D ABS V3.1A
MDMS V2.9D MDMS V3.1A
SLS V2.9F ABS V3.2
MDMS V2.9F MDMS V3.2
The kit automatically installs the correct images for your type of
system (VAX or Alpha). For the first time we are providing a single
installable kit that can be used with either the SLS or ABS product.
Please refer to the installation section of this document for changes
to the procedure.
Only apply the kit to systems where either SLS/MDMS 2.9X or ABS/MDMS
3.1X and later have been installed. MDMS 2.9X does not include
the backup and restore functionality of SLS.
MDMS 3.1X and later can be installed separately to support the
following products:
Archive/Backup System (ABS) Versions V3.1X and V3.2,
Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) Versions V3.1X and V3.2
Only when licensed with the use of an existing SLS or ABS license,
or
Running RDF with a separately purchased RDF license from TTI,
Touch Technologies, Inc.
CHANGES FROM RDF 4.3A TO RDF 4.3G:
o AXP/VMS V7.3 problems relating to returning ZERO status
back to the end user from a SETMODE IRP.
o RDF .exe image files were not being updated to show the
correct version.
o Too many OPCOM messages would overflow the buffer while
using previous versions of RDF.
Refer to the release notes for more information.
NEW FEATURES/FUNCTIONALITY: No new features, just bug-fixes.
