It creates six diskettes. The NSSD diskettes contain NetWare and intraNetWare drivers, NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs), and support information to optimize the performance of NetWare and IntranetWare on Compaq servers. This software enhances the performance of Compaq options such as Compaq Drive Array controllers, Compaq 32-Bit SCSI-2 controllers, and Compaq CD-ROM drives. Enhancements/Fixes: This release of the Support Software for Novell Products (NSSD) primarily supports the following new products: - Compaq ProLiant 8500 - Compaq ProLiant 6400R/550 - Compaq Smart Array 4200 Controller - Compaq Integrated Smart Array Controller - Compaq StorageWorks Enclosure 4200 - Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 Redundant Array Controller (RA4000) - NC3123 PCI 10/100 TX WOL Fast Ethernet NIC - Updates to Support for IBM Token-Ring NICs The following Compaq drivers were updated: - Compaq NSSD Installation Utility CPQNSSU.NLM v1.46 - Adds support for detection of different versions of NetWare for Small Business, and recommendation of appropriate Novell Support Packs. - Compaq SMARTArray Controller Host Adapter Module CPQARRAY.HAM v2.01 - Adds Support for the Compaq Smart Array 4200 Controller - Adds Support for the Compaq Integrated Smart Array Controller - Driver now detects RAID level change on configuration change and changes fault tolerance level in device name. - Added better support for IML logging controller failures and redundancy loss. - Compaq Fibre Channel Storage Host Adapter Module CPQFC.HAM v2.01 - Adds support for Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 Redundant Array Controller (RA4000). - The driver now automatically detects when multiple paths exist from the server to devices in the RA4000 subsystem. It will automatically failover to a standby path in the event that the active path fails or becomes unstable. The driver also automatically switches back to the original path when it detects that the problem has been corrected NOTE: Firmware v2.36 or greater is required to support new features found in CPQFC.HAM version 2.00 - Compaq SCSI Controller Host Adapter Module CPQSCSI.HAM v1.35 - Added multi-initiator support - Compaq SCSI Custom Device Module CPQSHD.CDM v1.30 - Modified to be used with CPQSCSI.HAM v1.35 and CPQFC.HAM v2.00 - Add support for array device renaming and failure. - Compaq Online Array Configuration Utility CPQONLIN.NLM v2.41 - Adds Support for the Compaq Smart Array 4200 Controller - Adds Support for the Compaq Integrated Smart Array Controller - Adds support for Compaq Storage Works RAID Array 4000 Redundant Array Controller (RA4000). - Add support for tape devices - Added ability to display a configuration for a controller even if that controller has no physical drives. - Compaq Server Health Utility CPQHLTH.NLM v4.10 - NSSD 5.10 - Adds Support for the Compaq ProLiant 8500 - Fixed an error where an initialization message was being incorrectly output to the console indicating that the Advanced Server Recovery, ASR, feature was enabled even though the command line option to disable ASR, -DASR, had been used. Products affected are all ProSignia and ProLiant servers that support ASR. - Fixed an error where the Intelligent Power Down Manager feature available on PL-6000, PL-6500, and PL-7000 models was not working correctly. When the shutdown delay time expired, these servers did not shutdown. - Fixed an error where on PL-7000 models when fan #2 failed and was then removed from the system a message was being incorrectly output to the console indicating that the server would shutdown. - Fixed an error where MCA error monitoring was only being done on the bootstrap CPU in a multi-processor system under the NetWare 5 in multi-processor mode. Products affected are all ProSignia and ProLiant multi-processor servers running NetWare 5 in multi-processor mode. - Compaq Integrated Management Log Viewer Utility CPQIML.NLM v1.03 - NSSD 5.10 - Driver was upgraded to version 1.1 of the IML specification and includes reporting of new event strings. - Compaq Power Subsystem Management Utility CPQPOWER.NLM v1.02 - NSSD 5.10 - Fixed a bug where actual power-down time was twice the time that was configured in CPQPOWER.NLM - Compaq System Bus Driver for PCI Hot Plug CPQSBD.NLM v2.16 - NSSD 5.10 - Now reports an error and sets the LEDs ff NCM doesn't respond to pushbutton use. - Added support for 64-bit Base Address Registers - Added support for third party Subsystem Ids - Changed interrupt handling so that 4.11 SMP would not get spurious interrupts. - Compaq Network Driver for Intel-Based Fast Ethernet NICs N100.LAN v4.14 - NSSD 5.10 - Provides support for NC3123 Fast Ethernet NIC PCI 10/100 TX WOL - Compaq Network Driver for Gigabit Ethernet NICs N1000.LAN v1.11 - NSSD 5.10 - Provides support for Compaq Gigabit Ethernet NICs - Compaq Network Driver for NetFlex-3 / Netelligent NICs CPQNF3.LAN v2.45 - NSSD 5.10 - Fixed a bug causing incorrect reporting in Compaq Insight Manager - Fixed a bug causing failover problems with Network Fault Tolerance - Increased number of supported adapters to 64 from 16. - Improved network performance - Compaq DOS ODI Network Driver for IBM Token-Ring NICs IBMTRPO.EXE v2.04 - NSSD 5.10 - Adds the following features: - Remote Program Load (RPL)/DHCP (default=Disabled) - LAN Adapter Management Agent - Performance Tuning - Route Switching - Class of Service The following Novell drivers were also updated: - Novell Configuration Manager Console Utility NCMCON.NLM v1.14 - Novell Configuration Manager NCM.NLM v1.06 - Novell FDDI Support Module FDDITSM.NLM v3.72 - Novell NWPA Support Module NWPA.NLM v2.34a - Novell NWPA Support Module for SFT-III IO Engine NWPAIO.NLM v2.34a - Novell NWPA Support Module for SFT-III MS Engine NWPAMS.NLM v2.34a - Novell NWPA SCSI Hard Drive Custom Device Module SCSIHD.CDM v1.35f The following changes were made to the file structure of NSSD: - All NWPA storage drivers were moved into the NWPA directory to correct problems with Novell server installation not finding updated versions of drivers. - CPQSCSI.HAM and CPQSCSI.DDI were moved from \SCSI to \NWPA - CPQSHD.CDM and CPQSHD.DDI were moved from \SCSI to \NWPA. - SCSIHD.CDM and SCSIHD.DDI were moved from \SCSI\3x_4x to \NWPA\3x and a duplicate copy placed in \NWPA\4x. - CPQFC.HAM and CPQFC.DDI were moved from \FIBRE to \NWPA. - CPQARRAY.HAM and CPQARRAY.DDI were moved from \DRV_ARRY to \NWPA The following changes were made only to the diskette-based format of NSSD: - A seventh (7th) diskette was created, and named "Legacy Storage Support" - All DDFS storage drivers (those under the \DSK directory) were moved to diskette seven. HOW TO USE 1. Obtain seven (7) formatted 1.44 MB diskettes. 2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is an executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 3. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. You will be prompted to insert the formatted diskettes in a drive to create the diskettes. 4. After the diskettes have been created, you may delete the SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2. 5. For installation instructions, refer to READ1ST.RDM and WHATSNEW.RDM on the created diskettes. Copyright 1999, Compaq Computer Corporation. All rights reserved.
