Summary: This IPM corrects problems with: EMS event generation for Status attribute changes; an unexpected limit on the number of user-defined entities; calcuation of Busy percentages for the 1st interval; computing elapsed time correctly when SET TEST is on and samples are missed; rogue domain removal; and computation of the DownTime, Avail and UnAvail built-in attributes. Superseded IPMs: NONE Requisite IPMs: T0402AAA Required Hardware: NonStop RISC-based servers Required Firmware: NONE Required Software: T0402V02 T9050D42 (if using D4x.xx) T9050G05 (if using G0x.xx) Manuals: 425265-001 ASAP Extension Manual Installation Considerations: Minimal system impact 1. Ensure that requirements for using this product are met (see Section IV Product Requirements below). 2. Ensure that prerequisites for the installation utility and any product-specific installation requirements are met (see Section V Installation Prerequisites below). 3. Review the file USRGUIDE.PDF (in the subdirectory NSK_SW on this CD) containing the IPSetup User Guide, which provides instructions for using IPSetup, a utility provided on the CD that enables installation of Independent Products. You need Adobe Acrobat Reader (available on this CD) to read or print the IPSetup User Guide. 4. Decide whether you will use DSM/SCM to move files to Installation Subvolumes (ISVs) after files are placed on the workstation. Using DSM/SCM is optional, but is recommended when DSM/SCM is available. 5. Follow the pre-installation instructions in Section II below, if any, before continuing to Step 6. 6. Run IPSetup to place (move files from the CD to the workstation) and install (move NonStop Kernel files to correct ISVs) this product. If TCP/IP and FTP are unavailable, or if you have problems with automatic file placement, use the instructions in the IPSetup User Guide section "Manual Software Placement Using the IPSetup TACL Program" to manually place NonStop Kernel files. 7. Follow the post-installation instructions in Section III below, if any, after using IPSetup to place and install this product. II. Pre-Installation Instructions None III. Post-Installation Instructions 1) Run ASAP Extenstion INSTALL to update the ASAPX subsystem: a) TACL 1 > VOLUME $.ZASAPX b) TACL 2 > RUN INSTALL c) Fill in the source and destination subvolumes. Note to install to a remote node fully qualify the destination subvolume name, for example \remote.$system.system. 2) Delete and re-add all objectives defined for user-entities: a) ASAP + RANK/OUT outfile/,OBEYFORM + RANK ,DELETE (entered twice for each entity) + OBEY outfile 3) Stop then restart ASAP to pick up the new code and objectives. IV. Product Requirements Disk Space Requirement: ZASAPX subvol 3.9MB $System.system run time files 3.3MB Swap space dependent on user domain counts Memory Requirement: 16MB per CPU minimum. V. Installation Prerequisites Hardware: NonStop server Communications controller allowing file transfer from PC to NonStop server. PC with 486 or higher processor and all of the following: CD-ROM drive VGA or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor Microsoft Mouse or similar pointing device Communications controller allowing file transfer from PC to NonStop server.

New Features: NONE Problems Corrected: 1) [AAA] ASAPX failed to write EMS alerts for Status/operational state changes when configured to do so using the RANK command. For example, the command "RANK ATM, STATUS CRITICAL", did not cause ASAPX to generate a critical event when the Status attribute produced an alert condition. (SOLN 10-010803-1955) 2) [AAA] ASAPX would not allow definition of more than 11 (approximately) user-defined entities even though the ASAP maximum entity count is much greater. (SOLN 10-010809-2101) 3) [AAA] ASAPX reported invalid Busy percentages for the first interval after a process registered a domain in a CPU. ASAPX now reports 0.00 for the first interval and reports the actual Busy percent for the 2nd sample after establishing its baseline measurement. (SOLN 10-010820-2310) 4) [AAA] Invalid elapsed times were computed when SET TEST ON was specified in the ASAPXCNF configuration file and ASAPX missed at least one sample. The ASAP RATE value was multiplied by 60 seconds, not taking into account the extra time caused by the missed sample. ASAPX now rounds to the nearest minute and takes the difference between samples instead of using the ASAP RATE value. (SOLN 10-010822-2427) 5) [AAA] The command "MONITOR APP [], REMOVE" failed to remove the specified APP domain, and failed to remove all APP domains when no domain was specified. (SOLN 10-010823-2481) 6) [AAA] ASAPX computed DownTime, Avail and UnAvail incorrectly for the interval where a domain failed. It also failed to preserve the contents of those 3 built-in attributes when a domain stopped and restarted. (SOLN 10-010823-2487) 7) [AAA] ASAPX computed DownTime incorrectly when a domain re-registered in a different CPU after at least one sample interval had passed since it stopped processing in the original CPU. (SOLN 10-010830-2759) 8) [AAA] ASAPX would incorrectly return a domain name error to callers of the ASAP_REGISTER_ procedure when the domain name being registered contained the name of an ASAP entity at a lower level of domain name. For example, the domain name "Atm\Disk" would produce an error even though it is a valid domain name. (SOLN 10-010919-3206) 9) [AAA] ASAPX would write duplicate records to the ASAP collector under certain conditions. If several hundred aggregate domains were processed in a single CPU, ASAPX occassionally wrote duplicate records for one or more of the aggregate domains. (SOLN 10-011002-3507) 10) [AAA] ASAPXMON processes mysteriously stopped and restarted without notification. The 3rd I/O error encountered over any span of time caused the ASAPXSGP process to mistakenly stop and restart an ASAPXMON. The ASAPXSGP process now stops and restarts an ASAPXMON only after 3 consecutive I/O errors. (SOLN 10-011002-3508) Known Problems Remaining: NONE
