Magellan Vector OMS-V 2.3 Release Notes
OMS-V 2.3 MR1 Release Introduction
Table 4:
Third Party Product Patch List
Before installing OMS-V, the correct versions of the operating system and HP
OV must be installed. The choice of platform is either Sun MicroSystems or
Hewlett Packard workstations. The following components are required by
OMS-V 2.3 MR1.
•
installation of Solaris 2.6 on a Sun workstation, or
•
installation of HP-UX 10.20 on an Hewlett Packard workstation
•
installation of or upgrade to HP-OpenView 5.01 software on the Sun or HP
platforms plus the HP OV patches as noted above.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a set of installation “gotchas” covered in the
following list that must be followed for OMS-V R2.3 MR1 to function
correctly.
•
For all installations, the HP-OV installation MUST include patches as
noted in Table 4: on page 13.
Sun Microsystem Platform Considerations
On Sun MicroSystems an operating system upgrade is necessary if using
SunOS as Sun discontinued support for the SunOS operating system 2Q97.
The operating system now provided by Sun on new workstations is Solaris 2.6.
Sun has announced their intent to discontinue the Sparc line of workstations
and replace them with a new Ultra family. Previous Vector system
management releases (VSM 1.1 and VSM 2.0.x) are deployed on the Sparc
line of workstations. It is recommended that the new Ultra line be used for any
new installations due to the marked improvement in performance.
