SOFTPAQ NUMBER: SP3090 PART NUMBER: 276816-005, 276817-005 FILE NAME: N/A TITLE: Peripheral Adapter Support Software for VINES 6.x, 7.x and 8.x VERSION: 3.04 LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Drivers DIVISIONS: Servers PRODUCTS AFFECTED: All Compaq Server products OPERATING SYSTEM: Banyan VINES 6.x, 7.x and 8.x SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: N/A EFFECTIVE DATE: Nov 06, 1998 ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes SUPERSEDES: SP3088 DESCRIPTION: The Peripheral Adapter Support Software for VINES is a collection of VINES 6.x, 7.x & 8.x software components which provide support for Compaq Servers and Options. VINES 8.x Constraints --------------------- The PAT SSD 3.04 is supported in Uni-Processor mode only at this time. This SSD may not work correctly if the driver is installed and MP mode is enabled. CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS RELEASE Rev 3.02 : Compaq SMART-2/SMART 3100ES Array Controller Driver Enhanced the existing SMART-2/SMART 3100ES Array Controller Driver to support SMART 3200 Array Controller. Rev 1.04 : Compaq System Management Utility. The utility has been enhanced to support Y2K compliance of its critical\correctable error logs display. Rev 2.00 : Compaq SMART-2 and Fibre Channel Configuration Display Utility. The existing utility has been enhanced to display SMART 3200 Array Controller information on logical configuration. Rev 3.02 : Compaq Wellness driver The driver has been enhanced to check if the system supports wellness. This was done to prevent the " iv_install : shared interrupt conflict " message from appearing on the console. The Install script has been changed to give the user an option to remove the wellness driver. 2.0 SOFTWARE COMPONENTS The software components contained in the SSD are device drivers and support utilities. A device driver is software that the operating system uses to set up and communicate with hardware devices.

Rev 1.22 : Compaq Enhanced IDE controller driver Supports IDE/EIDE hard drives and EIDE CD-ROM on VINES 6.x, 7.x & 8.x platforms. Rev 2.03 : Compaq Wellness driver Supports server health monitoring features on VINES 6.x platforms. Rev 3.02 : Compaq Wellness driver Supports server health monitoring features on VINES 7.x and 8.x platforms. Rev 1.00 : Compaq Integrated Management Log driver Supports logging of events that occur in a system or its components. Rev 1.00 : Banyan IDA, IDA-2, IAES & SMART SCSI Array controller driver Utilities provided in this SSD : 1) Rev 1.01 : RI Agent. This runs as a daemon and interacts with the RIB Driver, Health and IDA Agents to send SNMP Traps to the Remote Insight Board. Additional executable of RI Agent is included which is compatible with Wellness driver v1.0 2) Rev 1.03 : Health Agent. This runs as a daemon and monitors the Correctable Memory Errors, counts and informs the RI Agent to send an SNMP Trap whenever a Correctable Memory Error occurs. This agent interacts with Wellness driver and supports monitoring of various server components and sends Mail Alert notification whenever a status change is detected on any of the server components. This feature will be available only if the Compaq Wellness driver version 2.00 or above is installed in your system. Additional executable for Health Agent is included which is compatible with Wellness driver version 1.0 3) Rev 1.03 : IDA Agent. This runs as a daemon and monitors the status of the Drive Array configured on the server. It informs the RI Agent to send an SNMP Trap in case there is any change in the status of the logical, physical and spare drives. This agent interacts with IDA driver , SMART-2 driver and the Fibre channel driver and supports monitoring of drives, Fans, Power-supplies and overheat condition in the subsystem connected to IDA , Compaq SMART-2 or Compaq Fibre channel family of Array controller and sends Mail Alert notification if any event is detected. 4) Rev 1.00 : Compaq ULS agent (CPQULS). This runs as a deamon and monitors the status of devices, fans, power suplies and overheat condition of the SCSI subsystem.This agent interacts with the Compaq Fast-Wide and Wide-Ultra Controller Driver and sends Mail Alert notification in case of any events detected. 5) Rev 1.00 : Compaq Ultra utility (CPQULTRA). This is a text based utility which allows the user to monitor the status of all the SCSI Controllers and devices present in the syatem. 6) Rev 1.0 : RIVIEW.
