It creates seven 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 CL1850 - Compaq 66MHz/64bit Dual Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Adapter The following Compaq drivers were updated: ADPT160M.HAM v.10.00 - NSSD 5.30 - Created the Compaq 66MHz/64bit Dual Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Adapter Driver to support the new Compaq 66MHz/64bit Dual Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Adapter. CPQFC.HAM v.2.10 - NSSD 5.30A - Fixed multi-initiator issues where multiple servers going down or coming up at approximately the same time, which caused other servers to decide that the fibre channel loop was unstable and perform unneccessary path failovers. - Fixed a potential problem on Enterprise Backup Systems. If the driver determined that the loop being used by servers to share a library(s) was unstable, the driver would take host adapter lasers offline and backup applications would lose access to the libraries. - Fixed a recognition problem in the driver. Previous versions of the driver did not recognize that a FCTC bridge had been powered back on after a power down, so the driver was not notifying the Compaq Insight Management Agents that the bridge was powered on. - Modified the driver to avoid potential device deactivations during a Compaq StorageWorks RA4000 Redundant RAID Array 4000 Controller hot-swap in a Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4100 Array Kit. CPQSCSI.HAM v.1.38 - NSSD 5.30A - Added support for the following: * Compaq ProLiant CL1850 * Compaq StorageWorks Library Adapter - Fixed potential problems when transitioning from Real Mode to Protected Mode, preventing interrupt storms, system hangs, etc. from occurring during this transition. CPQONLIN.NLM v. 2.42 - NSSD 5.30A - Fixed a bug that would not prevent the user from attempting to create a new logical drive when a failed drive was present in the array. - Fixed a bug that did not allow migration or expansion priorities to be set on a Compaq Integrated Smart Array Controller. CPQARRAY.HAM v.2.05 - NSSD 5.30A - Added background task shutdowns on unload of the driver instance. - Modified the driver to fix a bug where board lockups could cause inability to fail over twice. - Updated the deactivate routine to switch option ROM on deactivate as well as on shutdown; lockup on a boot pair could cause a real-mode interrupt to appear to hang (timeout of 5 minutes). The following Novell drivers were also updated: - Ethernet Support ETHERTSM.NLM v.3.80 - Hot Plug Utility NCMCON.NLM v.116 - Media Support MSM.NLM v.3.95 - Media Support MSM31X.NLM v.3.95 - Novell Configuration Manager NCM.NLM v.1.10 - NWPA Support NWPA.NLM v.2.35 - SFT-III MS Engine NWPA Support NWPAMS.NLM v.2.35 - Token-Ring Support TOKENTSM.NLM v.3.77 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.
